"she was one of the cofounders of the Cornell College Republicans"

"She" was female then?

Stewardess 'banned from taking bible on plane'

An air stewardess is claiming religious discrimination against an airline which she says banned her from taking the Bible to Saudi Arabia.

The stewardess has been told by BMI that it is against the law of the insular Middle Eastern country to bring in religious books other than the Koran.

The woman, who is understood to be a committed Christian, takes her bible everywhere she goes and is now set to take the airline to an industrial tribunal claiming discrimination on religious grounds.

Ted, > The founder of Cornell just rolled over in his grave.

You realize that Ann Coulter also graduated from Cornell, don't you?


No, I did not. Cornell just went down a notch in my mind in terms of its standards and education.

Among other things, she was one of the cofounders of the Cornell College Republicans. (Which ironically was probably one of the reasons why I wasn't a conservative until much later.)

It should have made you a liberal for the rest of your life. ;-)
