Clinton Snubs Sikhs

I saw an interesting article a while back - Hillary Clinton canceled an appearance at a Sikh festival in Bakersfield, CA due to "security concerns." The Sikhs weren't pleased. Nor am I.

I find this idea astounding. If there's any group I'd feel safe in the middle of, it's Sikhs. In fact, if I had a confirmed security concern, I would want to surround myself with as many Sikhs as possible.

Here's all you need to know about Sikhs:

1. They're tall. Way taller and bigger than your average Indians.

2. They always have knives on them. It's part of the religion.

3. They believe in honesty, fidelity, and never bowing to tyranny. Again, part of the religion.

There's other stuff, but that's basically what you need to know.

The first time I went to the UK, the customs officers at the airport were huge Sikh dudes wearing turbans, sporting beards, and essentially giving me the message that if I had any plans on screwing with their country their feet would be up my ass in a heartbeat. And if not, I had nothing at all to worry about. That's a very nice feeling to have when you're law-abiding like the Bartman.

So I can see canceling an appearance at a Stargate convention due to security concerns. That many Richard Dean Anderson fans could be a little creepy. But a Sikh festival? Forget it.
