AIPAC Professionals Forum

I'm not much of a classroom-style discussion talker. Never have been. Well, that's not entirely true. I did take a Graduate class in college called Dress, Gender, and Society which examined how appearances have always played a role in determining ones place in society. I was big on talking about Chinese foot binding and discussing Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. But, usually, I'm not one for talking in those settings. So, when the Master sent in my name for AIPAC's Professional Forum list, I decided it would be a good place for me to test out speaking. I'm fine talking in work meetings. I think as long as I know the material, I am comfortable discussing it.

I didn't say a word last night. I was impressed though. Only in DC would one get to have a discussion with the following person on the following topic:

I don't think we're in Bama anymore, Toto.
