Who is Fatina Abdrabboh?
To understand this one, first you've got to read this post of mine about one of the silliest op-ed columns in the history of the New York Times.
But Ankle-Biting Pundits wasn't satisfied with just a chortle. They decided to poke a little deeper into Ms Abdrabboh's past. Turns out she's a professional victim of American bigotry against women wearing the hijab (scarf).
This is a textbook example of how to blog. By digging a little deeper, the Ankle-Biters discovered the real story behind what otherwise seemed like a trivial and absurd op-ed piece that bizarrely popped up on one of the most widely read pages in the world.

How very interesting! And yet, not surprising!

Oh good grief! They're a common sight in Wegman's supermarket here in Corning, NY. No one pays any attention.
