Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.

If you don’t already know the story, a Muslim kid down in Texas built a clock at home and brought it to school as part of a science project. Just so’s you know, he was wearing a NASA t-shirt, which faculty swiftly discerned was merely a clever ploy to misdirect.
Lights, sirens, half-a-dozen burly cops because — HEY! — when a moozlim shows-up with an electronic thingy in his backpack, it can mean only one thing: ISIS has arrived to wreak medieval vengeance on the good, decent, godly people of Texas.
The kid was arrested and led out of the building in handcuffs. I hope he take the Prez up on his offer and, once again, good for him for making it. I hope, too, he sticks with science and gets out of the numbskull south just as quick as he can.
