It's about time!
Except I wonder what the Vegas odds are that the Greenies (and Libs) will find a way to stop it?

HEY!
Remember those cartoon rioys last year? Where all "good" mooslimbs were supposed to riot for the 'disrespect' shown the pedaphilic prophit?
Well what about the Catholics when Bush 'disrespected' the Pope?
Here's a good job of reporting that the Legacy media won't show...

Looks like the Amnesty bill isn't quite dead yet
Don't you wish "W" would have fought half as hard on doing SOMETHING to fix SocSec as he's doing on rewarding criminals?
But then again, his Big Bussiness contributors wern't keeping the pressure on, either...

Poor little girl...
NO! This is not another Paris Hilton hit.
I just saw Steve Irwin's daughter on Yahoo questions....Too bad she couldn't have picked up some of her moms looks, instead ofall mostly Steves.
In a not related item, am I a bad person for mixing the liquid and spices in a separate bowl, instead of how the recipe said to? I used a big mixing bowl too,,,to completely mix and coat everything.
I also washed everything I used.......

Can we, like disenfranchise a state?
You know, kick them out of the Union?
Let Mexico have it back?
I just heard as I was coming home that Califoristan's Leg voted to try forcing our president to pull our troops out of Iraq. Actually it authorises a general vote...to force the president to pull our troops out of Iraq.
The sanctuary city idea, the Pavlovian Bush Derangement Syndrome, the Anti-military polices on unmentioned major cities. Not to mention the complete abandonment of the U.S. judicial code in other cities overrun with illegals.
They've been forcing their Socialist will on the rest of America for decades. When is America going to say "ENOUGH! You get your Liberal Communist loving mEcha @ss out of our house and live with what you've got. Stop polluting the rest of America with your foul ideas."
Oh, and Hollywood, we don't really need you, either.

Boy, that kinda sucked
I had to take one of our directional bores up to Abilene yestrday.
I was supposed to have taken it up Fri.
Then Sat.- mebby.
Then Sunday night I got the call to be rady to go first thing Monday, and hop a plane back.
When Monday rolled around, the big boss still didn't know if he was going to need it( they ran into some -almost-sedimentary rock with the smaller bore). I was hanging around from 7:15 AM till my boss got an answer at 11:30. Bring it up.
On the way up to Abilene, I stopped in Kerville (went back with a flat, actually) and lost 2 hours at Discount Tire.
Back on the road - with not a cloud visible- nor a radio to listen to. Or A/C.
I finally made it to Abilene about 6:30, and helped the other crew get their bore re-aimed (with a pothole, a chain and an excavator). There was Bentonite (drilling mud)over everything that was near the hole.
Did I mention it was supposed to be a one day and back thing? So I didn't bring "work" cloths- or a change of...
Anyway, the place the boss was going to put us up at was unexpectedly full, so was the next, and the next. At 10:30PM, we finally got a room and I had the pleasure of trying to make myself halfway presentable for the flight home in the morning. Leaving at 6:30AM.
Well, apparently American Airlines needs to do more training on landing in the rain, because there were about four flights diverted to Abilene from DFW.
We left about 2 hours late, and were delayed when we got to DFW, too.
I finally got to San ANtonio anout 1:45 this afternoon.
In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't *that* bad, but I'm a spoiled American who's used to things going flawlesly all the time.
I'm tired, I'm going to drink too many beers and go to bed early. Which happens to be something like PDB is doing in the abcense of his wife..in the search for the perfect magurita.

OK, Deadeye,
How good is YOUR aim?
I'm shooting a little low, and just a bit to the right.
And,,, never mind the flier @ top left, some hairy thing got my attention.
I prefer a VEE sight to that square notch, but this IS just an online simulator.
I guess I'll be adding it to my sidebar, for practice.
H/T to,,,,,,ummmm can't remember where I was,,,sorry.

I'm going to need alot of practice on the advanced targets.
I'm not used to moving that much...

anybody want a job change?
I know a company that's hiring...

I mean c'mon now, it's been over two years since ol' Chocolate-boy Nagan left his people to fend for themselves during (and after0 the storm.
After reading this story about Katrina still killling N'awlines residents, I just have to wonder when I'll see the next part,,,,the one about needing a dumptruck load of money to help set things right.
How come the Big Easy is the only one with the problem?
There are high rates of mental health problems among the survivors and previous research has found that mental disorders are predictors of earlier death rates," Kessler said. "So putting the two together in New Orleans is not surprising."
Local mental health professionals say they are encountering more people with psychological problems.
"We're seeing triple the number of people with mental health problems as we were before Katrina," said Leah Hedrick, social worker at Ochsner Hospital. "Depression, suicidal, anxiety, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and along with that comes a lot more physical problems."
Maybe it's because Uncle Sugar too care of every worry they ever had, and they didn't need to grow up and realize that life can be a chit sammich sometimes. The government
fell on it's ass isn't taking care of them the way they'd like, and they never had to do anything on their own. Now they have to, and don't like it.

Ok, I'm kinda late on this,,,
But I just can't find *WHAT* Nancy Pelosi saw on her trip to Greenland that "convinced" her that global warming was real.
Was it, maybe the 1200 year-old remains ofViking Scandinavian farmsteads that had been engulfed by snow and ice? Remember your history?
I don't think anyone with an IQ of better than a turtle would argue that the climate isn't changing. Always has, always will. What the disagreement is, is the CAUSE of it. The earth has rotational and orbital variances. The SUN also has it's hiccoughs, too....hot flashes, call it what you will.
The sun isn't Vegas, what happens there doesn't stay there.

Ok, y'all know what I think of driving while phoning
I wonder just how BADLY this driver was driving?
Which of the common cellphone d*ckhead moves did she pull?
-The take-up-1 and a half- lane thing?
-The slow-down-to-a-crawl,,,and then speed-up thing?
-The almost-miss-the-exit-and-cut-off-the-two-right-lane thing/
-The paying-NO-attention-to traffic-conditions-and-almost-rear ending-someone?
Whatever it was got the school bus driver fired...with pics for drivers-ed no-no's.
Ohhh,,,,,,and it's NOT the having the phone in your hand---it's the absolute loss of driving ability that's the problem. Yeah, telling Timmy-the-temp how to change the copier toner and re-boot the machine---while travelling at 70+ MPH on crowded roads.

Karma...
Main Entry: kar·ma
Pronunciation: 'kär-ma also 'kar-
Function: noun
Etymology: Sanskrit karma fate, work
1 often capitalized : the force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence
If it really worked, well see a whole chit load of lawsuits against our intrepid T.B.carrier flier.
Who happens to be aJohn Edwards wannabe personal injury trial lawyer.
Who was let back on a plane, into the U.S. despite a warning to the BORDER PATROL.
Gawd, I'm glad we'll have these people checking El Presidente Boosh's favorite adopted children.
I'd love to see this self-important bloodsucker sued into the poorhouse because of what he did. In spite of Dr.s warnings. Hell, he'll probably end up suing his Dr. for not being emphatic enough in warning him...

I see that this *not an* Amnesty bill has background checks
That is, if the newly LEGALIZED 15 - 20 million want to bother applying.
I mean, as soon as El Presidente Boosh signs the bill they're fat and happy ,,,and LEGAL- along with ALL the kinfolk they'll import for the next round of *not* amnesty.
The new Z-visa would give the Gov't one working day to do a background check, and then give them- anyone who applies- a Free ride if it doesn't find a problem with them. Or if they don't even check.
If that's so good, let's apply it to guns. I don't see why the Anti-Gun groups would have a problem applying the same standards to American Citizens ....who actually HAVE authentic identification....as to someone who's first act was to break our laws, and probably engage in identity theft too.

Later Cindy! Been 'interesting'
Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.
From the folks at the Daily Kos, Cindy Sheehan’s entire letter
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/5/28/12530/1525
Some quotes from her letter:
“I have come to some heartbreaking conclusions this Memorial Day Morning. These are not spur of the moment reflections, but things I have been meditating on for about a year now.”
“This is my resignation letter as the “face” of the American anti-war movement. This is not my “Checkers” moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.”
“I have also reached the conclusion that if I am doing what I am doing because I am an “attention whore” then I really need to be committed. I have invested everything I have into trying to bring peace with justice to a country that wants neither. If an individual wants both, then normally he/she is not willing to do more than walk in a protest march or sit behind his/her computer criticizing others.”
“The first conclusion is that I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my protests to George Bush and the Republican Party. Of course, I was slandered and libeled by the right as a “tool” of the Democratic Party. This label was to marginalize me and my message. How could a woman have an original thought, or be working outside of our “two-party” system?”
However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the “left” started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used.”
“I have spent every available cent I got from the money a “grateful” country gave me when they killed my son and every penny that I have received in speaking or book fees since then.”
” I have sacrificed a 29 year marriage and have traveled for extended periods of time away from Casey’s brother and sisters and my health has suffered and my hospital bills from last summer (when I almost died) are in collection because I have used all my energy trying to stop this country from slaughtering innocent human beings.”
” I have been called every despicable name that small minds can think of and have had my life threatened many times.”
“The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing.”
“I am going to take whatever I have left and go home.”
“Camp Casey has served its purpose. It’s for sale. Anyone want to buy five beautiful acres in Crawford , Texas ? I will consider any reasonable offer. I hear George Bush will be moving out soon, too…which makes the property even more valuable.”
So, I guess that Casey's SGLI has run out?
That's Ok Cindy, I hear Hugo is looking for a nice NortAmericano puta.
Maybe he can be your pimpdaddy. He runs the kind of country that you want to turn America into...
I just gotta wonder where she heard those big words she used?
I also have to wonder, will her mummified uterus be a selling point at Camp Casey? (That she almost died for)

Why we honor them
NORTHERN TUNISIA, April 22, 1943 - I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.
I did, and definitely.
The most vivid change is the casual and workshop manner in which they now talk about killing. They have made the psychological transition from the normal belief that taking human life is sinful, over to a new professional outlook where killing is a craft. To them now there is nothing morally wrong about killing. In fact it is an admirable thing.
I think I am so impressed by this new attitude because it hasn't been necessary for me to make this change along with them. As a noncombatant, my own life is in danger only by occasional chance or circumstance. Consequently I need not think of killing in personal terms, and killing to me is still murder.
Even after a winter of living with wholesale death and vile destruction, it is only spasmodically that I seem capable of realizing how real and how awful this war is. My emotions seem dead and crusty when presented with the tangibles of war. I find I can look on rows of fresh graves without a lump in my throat. Somehow I can look on mutilated bodies without flinching or feeling deeply.
It is only when I sit alone away from it all, or lie at night in my bedroll recreating with closed eyes what I have seen, thinking and thinking and thinking, that at last the enormity of all these newly dead strikes like a living nightmare. And there are times when I feel that I can't stand it and will have to leave.
But to the fighting soldier that phase of the war is behind. It was left behind after his first battle. His blood is up. He is fighting for his life, and killing now for him is as much a profession as writing is for me.
He wants to kill individually or in vast numbers. He wants to see the Germans overrun, mangled, butchered in the Tunisian trap. He speaks excitedly of seeing great heaps of dead, of our bombers sinking whole shiploads of fleeing men, of Germans by the thousands dying miserably in a final Tunisian holocaust of his own creation.
In this one respect the front-line soldier differs from all the rest of us. All the rest of us - you and me and even the thousands of soldiers behind the lines in Africa - we want terribly yet only academically for the war to get over. The front-line soldier wants it to be got over by the physical process of his destroying enough Germans to end it. He is truly at war. The rest of us, no matter how hard we work, are not.
Say what you will, nothing can make a complete soldier except battle experience.
In the semifinals of this campaign - the cleaning out of central Tunisia - we had large units in battle for the first time. Frankly, they didn't all excel. Their own commanders admit it, and admirably they don't try to alibi. The British had to help us out a few times, but neither American nor British commanders are worried about that, for there was no lack of bravery. There was only lack of experience. They all know we will do better next time.
The 1st Infantry Division is an example of what our American units can be after they have gone through the mill of experience. Those boys did themselves proud in the semifinals. Everybody speaks about it. Our casualties included few taken prisoners. All the other casualties were wounded or died fighting.
"They never gave an inch," a general says. "They died right in their foxholes."
I heard of a high British officer who went over this battlefield just after the action was over. American boys were still lying dead in their foxholes, their rifles still grasped in firing position in their dead hands. And the veteran English soldier remarked time and again, in a sort of hushed eulogy spoken only to himself:
"Brave men. Brave men."
Ernie Pyle
"Straighten those shoulders! How long have you been in the army?"
And why Libs will never understand.

So,,,,,,is evolution bad now?
You know the theory.
The plants and animals (including humans) change in response to their environment.
If the environment changes, then the flora and fauna change or become extinct.
-OR is it just a nice theory to rebut the biblical explanation of Genesis?
Now we have global warming alarmists from the Arctic and the tropics coming together to make noise and complain about the sun forcing change on their lives.
I'm sure that the Icelanders(?)and the rest of Europe would have gone to the U.N. back in the what? 8th century when the Little Ice Age covered their villages and starved thousands. But they got over it.
Too bad AlGore and his acolytes decided to make a pile of money on this Chimera.
Now we have to hear even MORE whining about how bad America is treating the rest of the world....because George Bush sekritly is making the sum hotter with Cheny's weather control ray.

Now we have global warming alarmists from the Arctic and the tropics coming together to make noise and complain about the sun forcing change on their lives.
I'm sure that the Icelanders(?)and the rest of Europe would have gone to the U.N. back in the what? 8th century when the Little Ice Age covered their villages and starved thousands. But they got over it.
Too bad AlGore and his acolytes decided to make a pile of money on this Chimera.
Now we have to hear even MORE whining about how bad America is treating the rest of the world....because George Bush sekritly is making the sum hotter with Cheny's weather control ray.

I HAVE A PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA
RICHARD D. LAMM
___________________
I HAVE A SECRET PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA. IF YOU BELIEVE, AS MANY DO, THAT AMERICA IS TOO SMUG, TOO WHITE BREAD, TOO SELF-SATISFIED, TOO RICH, LETS DESTROY AMERICA. IT IS NOT THAT HARD TO DO. HISTORY SHOWS THAT NATIONS ARE MORE FRAGILE THAN THEIR CITIZENS THINK. NO NATION IN HISTORY HAS SURVIVED THE RAVAGES OF TIME. ARNOLD TOYNBEE OBSERVED THAT ALL GREAT CIVILIZATIONS RISE AND THEY ALL FALL, AND THAT "AN AUTOPSY OF HISTORY WOULD SHOW THAT ALL GREAT NATIONS COMMIT SUICIDE." HERE IS MY PLAN:
I. WE MUST FIRST MAKE AMERICA A BILINGUAL-BICULTURAL COUNTRY. HISTORY SHOWS, IN MY OPINION, THAT NO NATION CAN SURVIVE THE TENSION, CONFLICT, AND ANTAGONISM OF TWO COMPETING LANGUAGES AND CULTURES. IT IS A BLESSING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE BILINGUAL; IT IS A CURSE FOR A SOCIETY TO BE BILINGUAL. ONE SCHOLAR, SEYMOUR MARTIN LIPSET, PUT IT THIS WAY:
THE HISTORIES OF BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT ASSIMILATE ARE HISTORIES OF TURMOIL, TENSION, AND TRAGEDY. CANADA, BELGIUM, MALAYSIA, LEBANON-ALL FACE CRISES OF NATIONAL EXISTENCE IN WHICH MINORITIES PRESS FOR AUTONOMY, IF NOT INDEPENDENCE. PAKISTAN AND CYPRUS HAVE DIVIDED. NIGERIA SUPPRESSED AN ETHNIC REBELLION. FRANCE FACES DIFFICULTIES WITH ITS BASQUES, BRETONS, AND CORSICANS.
II. I WOULD THEN INVENT "MULTICULTURALISM" AND ENCOURAGE IMMIGRANTS TO MAINTAIN THEIR OWN CULTURE. I WOULD MAKE IT AN ARTICLE OF BELIEF THAT ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL: THAT THERE ARE NO CULTURAL DIFFERENCES THAT ARE IMPORTANT. I WOULD DECLARE IT AN ARTICLE OF FAITH THAT THE BLACK AND HISPANIC DROPOUT RATE IS ONLY DUE TO PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION BY THE MAJORITY. EVERY OTHER EXPLANATION IS OUT-OF-BOUNDS.
III. WE CAN MAKE THE UNITED STATES A "HISPANIC QUEBEC" WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT. THE KEY IS TO CELEBRATE DIVERSITY RATHER THAN UNITY. AS BENJAMIN SCHWARZ SAID IN THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY RECENTLY:
...THE APPARENT SUCCESS OF OUR OWN MULTIETHNIC AND MULTICULTURAL EXPERIMENT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED NOT BY TOLERANCE BUT BY HEGEMONY. WITHOUT THE DOMINANCE THAT ONCE DICTATED ETHNOCENTRICALLY, AND WHAT IT MEANT TO BE AN AMERICAN, WE ARE LEFT WITH ONLY TOLERANCE AND PLURALISM TO HOLD US TOGETHER.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL IMMIGRANTS TO KEEP THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE. I WOULD REPLACE THE MELTING POT METAPHOR WITH A SALAD BOWL METAPHOR. IT IS IMPORTANT TO INSURE THAT WE HAVE VARIOUS CULTURAL SUB-GROUPS LIVING IN AMERICA REINFORCING THEIR DIFFERENCES RATHER THAN AMERICANS, EMPHASIZING THEIR SIMILARITIES.
IV. HAVING DONE ALL THIS, I WOULD MAKE OUR FASTEST GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC GROUP THE LEAST EDUCATED - I WOULD ADD A SECOND UNDERCLASS, UNASSIMILATED, UNDEREDUCATED, AND ANTAGONISTIC TO OUR POPULATION. I WOULD HAVE THIS SECOND UNDERCLASS HAVE A 50% DROP OUT RATE FROM SCHOOL.
V. I WOULD THEN GET THE BIG FOUNDATIONS AND BIG BUSINESS TO GIVE THESE EFFORTS LOTS OF MONEY. I WOULD INVEST IN ETHNIC IDENTITY, AND I WOULD ESTABLISH THE CULT OF VICTIMOLOGY. I WOULD GET ALL MINORITIES TO THINK THEIR LACK OF SUCCESS WAS ALL THE FAULT OF THE MAJORITY - I WOULD START A GRIEVANCE INDUSTRY BLAMING ALL MINORITY FAILURE ON THE MAJORITY POPULATION.
VI. I WOULD ESTABLISH DUAL CITIZENSHIP AND PROMOTE DIVIDED LOYALTIES. I WOULD "CELEBRATE DIVERSITY." "DIVERSITY" IS A WONDERFULLY SEDUCTIVE WORD. IT STRESSES DIFFERENCES RATHER THAN COMMONALITIES. DIVERSE PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ARE MOSTLY ENGAGED IN HATING EACH OTHER-THAT IS, WHEN THEY ARE NOT KILLING EACH OTHER. A DIVERSE," PEACEFUL, OR STABLE SOCIETY IS AGAINST MOST HISTORICAL PRECEDENT. PEOPLE UNDERVALUE THE UNITY IT TAKES TO KEEP A NATION TOGETHER, AND WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS MYOPIA. LOOK AT THE ANCIENT GREEKS. DORF'S WORLD HISTORY TELLS US:
THE GREEKS BELIEVED THAT THEY BELONGED TO THE SAME RACE; THEY POSSESSED A COMMON LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE; AND THEY WORSHIPED THE SAME GODS. ALL GREECE TOOK PART IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN HONOR OF ZEUS AND ALL GREEKS VENERATED THE SHRINE OF APOLLO AT DELPHI. A COMMON ENEMY PERSIA THREATENED THEIR LIBERTY. YET, ALL OF THESE BONDS TOGETHER WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME TWO FACTORS . . . (LOCAL PATRIOTISM AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS THAT NURTURED POLITICAL DIVISIONS . . .)
IF WE CAN PUT THE EMPHASIS ON THE "PLURIBUS," INSTEAD OF THE "UNUM," WE CAN BALKANIZE AMERICA AS SURELY AS KOSOVO.
VII. THEN I WOULD PLACE ALL THESE SUBJECTS OFF LIMITS - MAKE IT TABOO TO TALK ABOUT. I WOULD FIND A WORD SIMILAR TO "HERETIC" IN THE 16TH CENTURY - THAT STOPPED DISCUSSION AND PARALYZED THINKING. WORDS LIKE "RACIST", "XENOPHOBE" THAT HALTS ARGUMENT AND CONVERSATION. HAVING MADE AMERICA A BILINGUAL-BICULTURAL COUNTRY, HAVING ESTABLISHED MULTICULTURALISM, HAVING THE LARGE FOUNDATIONS FUND THE DOCTRINE OF "VICTIMOLOGY", I WOULD NEXT MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENFORCE OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS. I WOULD DEVELOP A MANTRA - "THAT BECAUSE IMMIGRATION HAS BEEN GOOD FOR AMERICA, IT MUST ALWAYS BE GOOD." I WOULD MAKE EVERY INDIVIDUAL IMMIGRANT SYMPATRIC AND IGNORE THE CUMULATIVE IMPACT.
VIII. LASTLY, I WOULD CENSOR VICTOR (Davis)HANSON DAVIS'S BOOK MEXIFORNIA — THIS BOOK IS DANGEROUS — IT EXPOSES MY PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA. SO PLEASE, PLEASE — IF YOU FEEL THAT AMERICA DESERVES TO BE DESTROYED — PLEASE, PLEASE — DON'T BUY THIS BOOK! THIS GUY IS ON TO MY PLAN.

Hi, do you use any of these companies?
If so, you might want to let them know what you think of their strong-arm tacticics on our two Texas Republican Senators.
This is a list of Amnesty supporters who are "getting rich off the backs of poor people".I'd bet that if you look at Swift and Tyson's home state, they have some kind of lobbying group like this, also.
I think I'll be sending some e-mails tomorrow.
Thanking them for keeping MY wages down.
...AND letting them know I'll try finding other suppliers who might be a bit more expensive- but more patriotic.

Gun Grabbers, , , even Storm Troopers aren't immune
Is there any more comment needed?
The man had been on his way to pose for a community newspaper ahead of the 30th Star Wars movie anniversary when he was surrounded by armed police, forced to the ground and handcuffed.
Police said despite being a harmless replica and a close match to a weapon from a galaxy far, far away, the man would be charged with possessing an unregistered firearm.
Ok, it happened in OZ- butwill could be comming to a community near you

If you live within about 100 miles of Charlston,,,
DO NOT answer your door the weekend of June 15th.
Another Trainwreck PSA
Now, this just goes to show how out of it I am. I was always under the impression that escorts were.......hot.
I can understand paying $200 (well, not really...but) to a sizzling hot babe,,, but hose pictured would need to give me back change for a $20.
Sorry, it's a guy thing.

More scientific heresy
I was going to say something about "Shrooms- the hippy wonder fungi", but caught a quote throwing water on the Sky-is-falling...the Earth is DYING crowd.
The article was talking about shrooms that eat radiation, you know turn our nuclear waste into food,,,and all.
When I hit this quote:
"It shows you how nature is resilient and resourceful. Nature can use an energy source wherever it can find it," Casadevall said.
Yep, his scientific career is over. Doesn't he KNOW just how fragile the earth is?

Did I mention
That my wife and her girls are here LEGALLY.
They came over on a K-1 (fiancee visa) and we've paid around $3000 or so in fees and services so far.
I'm really, really sorry that I can't muster the sympathy for illegals having to pay $5000- IF they want to do anything but be what they were before Booosh gave them amnesty.

Good!
I'm glad someone's taking out the trash.
I don't know what started it- this time- but it's something that needs to be done.
Too bad Olmert ...and the usual Islamophiles stopped Isreal from finishing their part.
