Brown people problems.
Sometimes a mop sink is just a mop sink.
Building managers and legislative staffers have sought to reassure some concerned Tennessee lawmakers that recent renovations at the state Capitol did not install special facilities for Muslims to wash their feet before praying.
“I confirmed with the facility administrator for the State Capitol Complex that the floor-level sink installed in the men’s restroom outside the House Chamber is for housekeeping use,” Legislative Administration Director Connie Ridley wrote in an email. “It is, in layman’s terms, a mop sink.”

Mom buys stamps, accidentally converts to Islam?
Happy Place reports that a woman, thinking that she was buying stamps with images of Christmas trees, actually purchased several sheets of “Eid Mubarak” stamps.
This could be a major plot point if Homeland ever did a Christmas episode. “See Carrie? He’s sending out Christmas cards! Time to let it go!” Only at the end of the episode does she note the stamp is actually the Muslim greeting, “Blessed Holiday.”
