Peugots too slow, French police get Subarus

Most European criminals will also no longer be able to claim that they did not understand police instructions in French -- the cars will relay their messages in a light display in five languages -- French, English, German, Spanish and Dutch --while there is room for three others.

I wonder which language will be added…

New zombie report just unveiled:

Cindy Sheehan speaking at U.C. Berkeley's International House.

It's a somewhat minor report, compared to some of my other stuff, but it does contain several entertaining moments.

Most importantly, pay attention to Footnote 2 -- perhaps the most devastating footnote ever! In it, I demonstrate that Cindy Sheehan is closely linked with the World Can't Wait movement (they sponsored this event), and prove that World Can't Wait is a front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party, which is basically nothing more than a Maoist cult.

I wouldn't feel the need to completely destroy Cindy Sheehan's credibility yet again like this, but the mainstream media keeps giving her a free pass and never mentions that she's in deep with the absolute worst and most dangerous elements of the "left."

Its nice to know that SOMEBODY likes this immigration bill. Congress is selling us down the river.

[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

Money qoute:

"Some Mexican media outlets were even more euphoric, predicting final approval for the committee bill as drafted, and suggesting the weekend demonstrations showed Mexico still holds some sway over former territories which it lost in the 1846-48 Mexican-American War.

"With all due respect to Uncle Sam, this shows that Los Angeles has never stopped being ours," reporter Alberto Tinoco said on the Televisa television network's nightly news broadcast, referring to a Saturday march in Los Angeles that drew an estimated 500,000, mainly Mexicans."

DID YOU HEAR THAT NO JEWS DIED ON 9/11?

This looks like an interesting film that has premiered at a variety of theatres across the nation. Any lizards see it yet?

Protocols of Zion will premiere on Cinemax on April 11th @ 7pm

ABOUT THE FILM:

Marc Levin gives us an explosive exploration of resurgent anti-Semitism in the wake of September 11th in PROTOCOLS OF ZION. Levin's film draws its inspiration from an encounter he had in a New York taxi not long after 9/11, in which his driver, an Egyptian immigrant, made the disturbing claim that the Jews had been warned not to go to work at the World Trade Center on the day of the attck. He then said that "It's all written in the book," referring to "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a notorious forgery created 100 years ago this year, purporting to be the Jews' master plan to rule the world. Long ago, discreditied as a fake.

"The Protocols" was a crucial influence on Hitler, and has fueled hatred, violence, and ultimately genocide through the first half of the twentieth century.

Levin, the award-winning filmmaker, whose SLAM won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize in 1998 discovered that today. "The Protocols" seem as popular as ever. . they are sold on Amazon and until recently at Wal-mart; they were just removed from the official web site of the Palestinian Authority; a couple of years ago, a dramatization aired to great success on Egyptian television. Deeply disturbed by this phenomenon, Levin embarks on a personal odyssey to learn more.

Armed with his camera and appearing on screen along with his subjects, Levin engages in a free-for-all dialogue with Arab Americans, Black nationalists, Christian evangelists, White supremacists, Kabbalist rabbis, Holocaust survivors, and the founder of the amazingly popular Jew Watch web site. Levin's genuinely curious and sometimes confrontational coversations combine to form a probing and provocative protrait of our so-called modern civilization caught in the grips of amost ancient hatred.

How would you like to pay for admission to the 9/11 WTC Museum when it is finally built? Well, that's a distinct possibility based on statements made by the head of the group building it. There would be no admission to the memorial, but a fee might be imposed for the museum that would have exhibits from that day and recall the terror and horror of 9/11.

US 'open' to Israel borders plan

The US secretary of state has said Washington may be open to backing Israel's Kadima party in drawing the country's borders unilaterally.
Condoleezza Rice said a negotiated deal with the Palestinians was preferable, but seemed unlikely since the militant group Hamas won Palestinian elections.

But she added that there had been no chance to discuss the Israeli proposal.

It is the first time the US appears to have dropped its insistence that the conflict must be solved bilaterally.

Work is a lot like house cleaning - something that should be done only out of the direst necessity. Unfortunately, dire necessity arrives in my mailbox on an almost daily basis.

One of world’s oldest men celebrates 116 birthday

Pa Igboezu Asoegwu, believed to be one the world’s oldest men, is set to celebrate his 116th birthday at Utuh town near Nnewi, Anambra.

...Also speaking to newsmen Pa Asoegwu attributed his longevity to “God’s kindness as well as my efforts to lead a very simple and straight forward life”.

He said that he had never been to a hospital all through his life and that all his teeth were” still complete and intact”.

...All Pa Asoegwu’s 40 children are still alive and the eldest son, Dominic is 76.

He was converted to Christianity in 2005 at which ceremony he wedded his last and only surviving wife, aged about 60 years.

Never to old to convert, I guess. LOL.

Yes, he married a woman 56 years younger than him, but here's what caught my eye in the same article -

According to Guinness Book of Records, the oldest authenticated living man is Mr Emilliano Mercardo Del Toro of Puerto Rico, aged 113 years.

However, an Egyptian, Mr Mohammed al Wasimy, insists he was born in 1875 making him about 130 years (unofficially).

Mohammed married his wife, Fatima, in 1950 when he was 75 and she 14.

She was 61 years younger, but 14 years old!

OK a couple serious, somewhat related questions; and yes, we need to secure our borders. But:
1. )Current unemployment rate is 5%; IIRC correctly from college econ that is basically full employment. Which Americans are illegal immigrants taking jobs from?
2). I've heard many times that as the baby boomers retire, there won't be enough people in the workforce to support their Social Security benefit; the system will go bankrupt. Nobody has explained who will take all the jobs the boomers retire from. I'm pretty sure it won't be Spanish speaking semi educated 22 year olds from Oaxaca.

Back to work, will check in later.

The World Trade Center should be rebuilt exactly like it was and the uppermost office space of both towers should be given to the various UN missions and major news media organizations rent free.

There are just so many things wrong about that, I don't know where to begin.

Distressed by the fact that Billy Bragg, whom I once liked, recast the lyrics of Dylan's "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" into a lamentation for a terrorist-assisting asshole, I was inspired last night to compose my own little broadside on the last moments of Rachel Corrie. Some might find it tasteless, I fear.

The Ballad Of Saint Pancake

To the tune of “The Battle of New Orleans”

In two-thou-and-three Rachel took a little trip,
With a bunch of other morons to the funky Gaza Strip.
She dressed like an Arab chick, hung out in Rafah town,
But the dumb bitch bit the dust when a dozer ran her down.

She stood her ground but the dozer kept a'comin,
She figured it would stop like it done a while ago.
She plunked her ass down when her friends began to runnin',
Dumb Rachel she just sat there, never dreamed she oughta go.

She ran her mouth off till her bullhorn melted down,
Then she burned the Stars'n'Stripes for the children of the town.
She filled their heads with foolishness and hatred of the Jews,
And when they blew Israelis up, applauded at the news.

She stood her ground but the dozer kept a'comin,
She figured it would stop like it done a while ago.
She plunked her ass down when her friends began to runnin',
Dumb Rachel she just sat there, cause the dozer moved so slow.

Old Rachel figured that they'd never hurt a blonde,
A blue-eyed shiksa who grew up across the pond.
She plumb forgot she was hidden out of sight,
Of the dozer operator who was sittin' at a height.

(con gusto)

Well, it cracked Rachel's skull and it broke Rachel's backbone,
A D-9 Cat ain't the kind of thing that jokes.
It squashed her so flat that she didn't need a coffin,
Just folded her in half and they mailed her to her folks.

She stood her ground but the dozer kept a'comin,
She figured it would stop like it done a while ago.
She plunked her ass down when her friends began to runnin',
Dumb Rachel she just sat there, she's a flapjack now, you know!

Dumb Rachel she just sat there, she's a flapjack now, you know!
Pour syrup on old Rachel, pass the coffee to me, Joe!

SPOKEN FADE: Hey, can I get me some bacon over here? I really could use some bacon... thanks... and maybe some more coffee when you come by... yeah... all right... what WAS that girl thinkin', anyway? Evergreen State? Oh... never mind...

Much as I don't care for the man, I heard Donald Trump say on the excrable Larry King show last month that he thought the WTC should be rebuilt exactly as it was, except one story taller. His stock went up about 1000 % with me right then.

Is Castro egomaniacal -- or would that be megalomaniacal -- enough to have not picked a successor? Thinks he might live forever?

I mentioned sustained 60 km/hr winds and a dust storm in progress in Amarillo in Jill Carroll thread (as example of wind energy piling into Oklahoma/Kansas super-mondo tornado outbreak (maybe bright font post soon), but the NWS has now issued a DUST STORM WARNING for the Texas Panhandle.

Visibilities expected to drop below 1/4 mile, perhaps to near zero.

A DUST STORM WARNING MEANS SEVERELY LIMITED VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED WITH BLOWING DUST. TRAVEL COULD BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PERSONS WITH RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS SHOULD MAKE PREPARATIONS TO STAY INDOORS UNTIL THE STORM PASSES.

Hello AI.

Blushing, blushing

61 Mike C,

She was an English major.

And I found the answer to my question about Barrington Hall. It was closed in 1989.

What a pit that place was...And to think that I actually attended one of those Kool-Aid acid parties.

Does anyone have the scoop on major 911 conspiracy moonbat, BYU
physics Professor Steven Jones

I have an immigration questions:

Exactly what is involved in the current LEGAL immigration process (applications, meetings, screenings, etc.)?

Aren't the legitimate arguments for a legal immigration process as follows:

1. It's our country (sovereignty) so we can exclude whoever we want, and add desirable productive people to our population.

2. Screening for and keeping out undesirable people (criminals, enemies, and sick people -- No one mentions the disease concerns. Do we screen for diseases these days?).

All I hear is:

1. We can't kick out grandpa because he has been here a long time. I say he is a criminal, who had no right to be here in the first place. If we catch any American criminal after years of searching for him (assuming no statute of limitations applies), I don't care that he was working hard at a job and paying taxes. It is not an excuse. "Hey forget about raping that child. It looks like you were working as a gardner in Hollywood. Thanks for doing the work rich people don't want to do."

2. We need immigrants (they leave off the "illegal" part) to do the jobs Americans won't do. Maybe if we kick out the illegals, the employers will have to pay higher wages to Americans to do that work (supply and demand) Isn't that better than raising the minimum wage every so often?

3. Our economy will fail without the [illegal] immigrants. Yeah, right. Maybe we should import slaves to save even more money and help our businesses increase profits. Since when do liberals want to protect businesses? If a business knowingly employs illegals, they should be punished too.

If we replaced illegals with legals, we would have more tax payers who could be tracked. Don't Dems and Libs want more taxes?

If we have a bird flu or some other epidemic because we don't screen [illegal] immigrants, do you think the MSM and LLLs will give Bush a pass? They were all over him for not having enough flu vaccine available in the past.

This is all such politcal crap, with both parties trying to get as many votes as possible.

I think we should not prosecute any drug users who drive pizza delivery cars. Hell, they are just doing jobs no other Americans want to do.

I used to crawl through storm sewers to clean and repair them. Can I get a "get out of jail" card since most Americans don't want to do that work? I may need it some day.

The scary thing is that I have talked with illegal immigrants who work in Wisconsin, and admit to changing their fake ID for each new job after trips back to Mexico. Some take 2 or 3 trips b ack to Mexico each year. Talk about an open border.

My favorite geology word term - boring logs.

I think you mostly answered your own questions -- and quite well ...

I'm not sure what the "trigger event" is going to be for re-framing the dialouge and actions re: illegal immigrants -- we've seen several for the WoT (9/11, cartoon jihad, etc.) that woke many people up, perhaps the looniness of the rallies over the weekend will serve as one for this issue?

I've answered those arguements by stating if we deport all illegal aliens and find that we truely *need* more workers, then all we have to do is raise our quota of legal immigrants from Mexico (or other places where those workers would come from).

We still get immigrants we need, but do it in a controlled and legal manner.

TFK, at least get it straight. Vicente Fox worked for Coca Cola and is a capitalist who tried to change Marxist/socialist Mexico from the top down in five years.

It's his likely successor Jose Manuel Lopez Obrador who is the Marxist mayor of Mexico's capital who is ready to greet Chavez and fellow leftists back to Mexico's presidential palace--and put up a statue of Castro no doubt!

Vicente Fox was the first NON-socialist to be Mexico's president in nearly 70 years. Fox also verbally slapped Chavez down recently, which we should have applauded as courageous in a Spanish speaking leader.

Father of man beheaded in Iraq runs for Congress

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Almost two years after the videotaped beheading of U.S. contractor Nick Berg in Iraq, his father is running a third-party race for the U.S. Congress on a platform seeking a complete withdrawal of American troops.

Michael Berg, a veteran anti-war activist and retired schoolteacher who campaigns in jeans and a T-shirt, is the Green Party candidate for the Delaware seat of seven-term Republican Rep. Michael Castle

Airblast from Underground Explosions

Philip Hookham, Titan Research

Abstract:
Two- and three-dimensional computational fluid and solid dynamics calculations were performed to predict the airblast and dust environment for the DIVINE STRAKE high explosive field test. The DIVINE STRAKE test is planned to be a large-yield, buried burst detonated at the Nevada Test Site. The early-time airblast, crater formation, and ejecta environment were calculated using the two-dimensional CRALE code. This solution was then overlayed onto two- and three-dimensional MAZe code computational meshes. The MAZe calculations simulated the airblast environment as well as the propagation of the dusty environment produced by the ejecta and subsequent dust sweep-up. The airblast environment will be compared to test measurements when they become available, while the predicted dust environment will be used to aid in planning of the test.

Thanks. I'm in Missouri and that sh*t usually blows straight across our state. We are expecting thunderstorms late afternoon here and severe ones tonight.

and uh
Divine Strake is a high-explosive (HE) test sponsored by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and is scheduled for the summer of 2006 at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The test is a detonation of a 700 ton buried heavy AN/FO charge above a tunnel structure. The main purpose of the test is to study ground shock effects on deeply buried tunnel structures. Of secondary interest is the airblast produced by a buried charge and its modification as it propagates over the local terrain.

A 700lb shape charge isn't going to do much good if it can't be placed where most needed, in Iran.

Immigration thing: my personal opinion

It is obvious that we need some kind of "guest worker" program. With the aging and retirement of the boomers, it has been estimated that the US will lose up to 30% of it's workforce over a 15-year period. There are not as many younger workers entering the workforce as there are older workers leaving it. The old employment (or better, unemployment) paradigms of the 70's through 90's as the boomers were fully in the workforce are no longer going to hold. Unemployment isn't going to be the issue for kids currently in school that it was for boomers when they were in school.

We currently have an economy with millions of illegals working yet we still have an unemployment rate around 5% which is pretty darned good. In other words, there is no evidence that illegals are currently taking jobs away from legals in any staticically significant number. To put it another way, our economy is currently in a position to be able to absorb an influx of additional labor so ...

Rather than have millions of illegals not paying taxes and not paying into Social Security, it would be better for everyone to create some kind of program where they could help support the retiring boomers. Not passing the law isn't going to make them go home. There are millions already here, and there likely always will be because even if we put up an absolutely transit-proof fence, the ones that are here would more likely just stay instead of going home for a visit and coming back across.

To put it another way ... not passing a guest worker program won't change the number of illegals here, it just means that A: they will continue not paying taxes and B: they will continue to be taken advantage of by people who would threaten to turn them in to immigration for not working for below market wages. Illegals are often crime victims and afraid to report it.

I am for allowing them FULL participation in our economy and that includes being able to pay their share of taxes without fear. Their kids use the schools just like everyone elses, they should have the opportunity to pay for those services and I have reason to believe that many of them WANT to be legal workers.

It's his likely successor Jose Manuel Lopez Obrador who is the Marxist mayor of Mexico's capital who is ready to greet Chavez and fellow leftists back to Mexico's presidential palace--and put up a statue of Castro no doubt!

I heard the argument that the republicans must bear in mind the possibility of a commie Mexican president when they decide on a policy of immigration. We shouldn't shut out the Mexicans in the fear it could turn their opinions against us and vote for him. Their election can go either way. We legalize the illegals to appease the Mexicans in the hope they don't vote Chavezesque...but they could still vote the goon in anyway...guess what? Tons more illegals scattering to get away from the chavez wannabee. I say we think of our country first...we shouldn't write our law based on their politics. It is a swamp. Bolt the border in the eventuality of them going commie, and if they don't, well then we can deal better either way.

Your post is very thoughtful and has some merit. There are anywhere between 15 and 25 illegals currently residing in this country and more coming across every day. Our border to the South is the equivalent of Swiss Cheese.

Letting them pay taxes will not alleviate the more serious issues of how these illegals have full access to free health care, free public schools, and they do not have automobile insurance and drive without a license. All of us pick up these costs and it is a burden. There are over 48 million Citizens who cannot afford health insurance, who risk bankruptcy, losing their homes if serious illness or accident were to happen.

The illegals have a safety net. It is far more an issue than letting them pay taxes. I haven't even addressed of the violent gang members who are illegals nor the huge trafficking in illegal drugs nor the burden on the court systems.

Martin Peretz wrote today:

"Professor Walt is vacating his position as academic dean of the Kennedy School in June. Even though he decided to leave the job of his own volition some time ago, Harvard should be grateful for his departure from this seat. An academic dean is supposed to be the shepherd of his faculty's (and his students') respect for evidence and scholarship. Having traduced the rules of evidence and the spirit of scholarly inquiry, he can no longer perform this function. Regrettably, Walt will not likely suffer any crueler fate than this. He has tenure, and tenure insulates one from all kinds of infractions against truth and honor."

# 170 Addendum

Gordon is scheduled to perform at Wolf Trap this coming August 1. Wonder if he'd considering singing that ? Eh - probably not.

The Christian Science Monitor has a good article laying out the several reason why the much ballyhooed Iranian Oil Bourse (Moonbat fantasy theory #374) will have no effect on the US dollar.

The idea that Iran refusing to ship the US oil would somehow reduce the amount of oil in world markets is fantasy. Here is what would really happen:

Country A normally buys Iranian oil. Iran stops selling oil to Country A. Country B buys the Iranian oil. Country B had been buying oil from Nigeria. Now Nigeria has extra oil to sell. Country A now buys their oil from Nigeria.

There is nothing special about Iranian oil. It can be replaced by Mexican oil or Nigerian oil or Alaskan oil.

BUT ... Iran's main source of income is oil. If they don't sell any, they go broke and are swimming in crude and lots of their workers are suddenly idle and not getting a paycheck ... and ... Iran has almost no refining capacity. The gasoline and diesel that powers their cars, trucks, and planes comes from foreign refineries. In other words, Iran sells crude and buys gasoline. They are playing with a knife that cuts two ways. Iran needs the rest of the world to buy their oil as much as the rest of the world needs to buy it.

BUT what is also likely to happen ... world oil prices are set on a commodities exchange. If Iran threatens to cut oil off, speculators will jump into the market and bid the price up to levels having nothing to do with supply and demand. The price of crude that refiners must pay to make gasoline is the price on the commodity exchange, not what it costs to produce. Oil companies do not set the price of oil, the exchanges do. Same with refined gasoline. If you think gas is going to go up, you can buy futures contracts and controll millions of gallons of gasoline for future delivery. Many speculators will enter this market and push the price of gasoline up on the markets. This will push pump prices up and have nothing to do at all with supply, at first. Then if supply doesn't fall, the prices will come back down and the last person to buy the futures at stupidly high prices will be left holding the bag and forced to either sell the contract at a loss, or take delivery. Imagine your neighbor trying to figure out what to do with 100,000 gallons of gasoline! It's happened before.

Patriots, Then and Now - Peggy Noonan

We fought a war to free slaves. We sent millions of white men to battle and destroyed a portion of our nation to free millions of black men. What kind of nation does this? We went to Europe, fought, died and won, and then taxed ourselves to save our enemies with the Marshall Plan. What kind of nation does this? Soviet communism stalked the world and we were the ones who steeled ourselves and taxed ourselves to stop it. Again: What kind of nation does this?

Only a very great one. Maybe the greatest of all.

Do we teach our immigrants that this is what they're joining? That this is the tradition they will now continue, and uphold?

Do we, today, act as if this is such a special place? No, not always, not even often. American exceptionalism is so yesterday. We don't want to be impolite. We don't want to offend. We don't want to seem narrow. In the age of globalism, honest patriotism seems like a faux pas.

Indonesia is indeed a nation of relaxed, liberal and reasonable Muslims

Hmmm. Really?

Jan 9/06 - A New Year’s eve bomb blast in a crowded meat market in the Central Sulawesi town of Palu which killed eight and wounded 54 – many of them Christians – continued the reign of terror against Christians in Indonesia in 2005

In May, two bombs in the Christian-majority town of Tentena killed 24 people and injured 97.

In September, Indonesian judges sentenced three Christian women to three years in prison for allowing Muslim children to attend a Christian education program.

In October, unidentified assailants beheaded three Christian high school girls walking to school in Poso, east of Palu.

Islamic Bali bomb plotter Abu Bakar Ba'asyir could have his jail term cut under a general amnesty due to be announced next week, Indonesian media report.

Ba'asyir, who is said to lead the Jemaah Islamiyah militant group, was sentenced to 30 months in March for conspiracy over the 2002 attacks.

...snip...

Buwalda said the attacks by members of Laska Jihad on the village lasted from January 23, 1999, through August 2001 in the village of Waii, Indonesia.

“The attackers wore white, including white turbans. Those attacked were decapitated and mutilated beyond belief, even the elderly and women. One pastor tearfully beseeched us as visitors to help him understand how he could possible counsel his flock in the wake of such horrors,” Buwalda said.

...(CNN) -- Thousands of Indonesian Muslims marched through Jakarta Thursday chanting "Jihad! Jihad!" (holy war) in a protest against minority Christians, while additional police and troops were sent to try to halt the religious unrest in Ambon.

The nearly 5,000 protesters, most wearing traditional white Muslim clothes, slaughtered a goat, smeared the blood on a wooden cross and demanded a holy war against Christians

Well, you're on the right blog.

I haven't even addressed of the violent gang members who are illegals nor the huge trafficking in illegal drugs nor the burden on the court systems.

While there are many illegals involved in such activity, we have seen that in our history with just about every immigrant group that has come to this country. The Irish had some pretty violent gangs, so did the Italians. The Russian mafia is pretty big in some areas of the US too.

OVERALL the Mexican immigrants have a strong work ethic, a string spiritual constitution, strong families, and don't get involved in crime at the rate of other ethnic groups. One of the reasons that the US violent crime rate is now HALF what it was in 1995 and teen crime is down SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT has been attributed to the black inner city population becoming more prosperous and successful over time and moving out to the suburbs. They are being replaced by latin and asian groups who are less angry, have strong family traditions going back generations concerning education, hard work, and taking personal responsibility for your success.

I lived for several years in Southern California in a residential area. There was a pair of latin men that would go door to door EVERY SINGLE DAY asking if there was any work to be done. They would do anything, lawn/landscaping, debris removal, painting, whatever you needed labor for, they would work. A couple of months later I noticed that they were no longer on foot and were riding bikes. A couple of months after that, they had an old blue beat up station wagon and now has some tools like mowers, clippers, hammers, etc. They also had women who I assumed were their wives and now their service offering included housework, laundry, window washing, etc. Over the course of a year I watched those two guys bust their asses. They worked hard, never stole a thing from anyone. If I left a dollar bill on the dresser and had the ladies do some dusting, that dollar was right where I left it.

I have nothing but respect for those guys and the millions of others like them who are NOT allergic to work, who don't blame anyone else for their lot in life and are just wanting a chance to work hard and succeed just like everyone else that has come to this country. Many have quite literally risked their lives to get here.

Hey Lizards! Remember my special friend who was feeling sick (from Tuesday's Open?) She just called me to say she's feeling a lot better & the doctors like what they see on the test results! Thanks again for everyone's prayers & kind words.

I am not for granting citizenship, just for allowing some mechanism for taking a vast under-the-table economy and bringing it above board. Many would be less likely to be pressed into drugs and prostitution if they had a legitimate way out too.

Many of the laws on the books reflect the economic situation in place when they were written. As the boomers entered the job market, employment for all of them was a big issue. Economic conditions are on the verge of a big change and one of the great benefits of our system of government is that we can adapt to changing conditions. The laws need to change to reflect the current economic reality. Sometimes we need to act with more thought and try to work through the emotional.

Phoney revolutionairies

Silvio Berlusconi was roundly ridiculed by the French preSS for pointing out that Chinese communists boiled babies and used them as fertilizer during Mao's reign. Today, Libération PropagandaStaffel grudgingly admits that what Berlusconi said was true (today's edition page 11 -- no link yet) citing historian Stéphane Courtois who contributed to Le Livre Noir du Communisme*

Libération was founded as a Maoist community by Jean Paul Sartre and its current director, the cigar-smoking-hiring-and-firing ex-Maoist Serge July.

Bangladesh: 3 Get Death for Killing Teacher (After Gang Rape)

On March 11, 2004, six youths allegedly led by Habibur Rahman of Pallabi abducted and gang-raped 25-year-old Fatema Akhter Kohinoor, a teacher, and then burnt her to death at an abandoned poultry farm in the area.

No one is getting emotional. People need to realize that there are now anywhere from 15 - 25 million illegals in this country. Our social services cannot keep up, nor can our healthcare systems, our court systems or our school systems. It all comes out of our pocketbooks, the higher auto insurance, health insurance, property taxes. With all the baby boomers retiring we are sliding into a bankrupt system of too many people living off some government assistance.

Why even have a border? Millions cross over every year, illegally in California, New Mexico, and Texas.

Very well put --

Two links on other threads I thought were worth reading, if you haven't seen them already.

[Link: www.frontpagemag.com...]

[Link: www.csmonitor.com...]

crosspatch has a good point about the hard-working individuals, but I've encountered lazy ones, too. And there are criminals among them, just as you would get with any large group like that.

My main beef is with the Mexican Government (the one under the flag that the marchers were waving the other day) making things so untenable as to encourage them to flee what could be a thriving economy.

So it's hard for me to generalize -- good or bad -- about that large a number of people. The attendant problems of unchecked millions of people are the same. And I worry about the corruption that drove them here simply setting itself up here.

#158

While I diagree with your assumption that we are loosing our baby boomers in the next few years to retirement, I do thinnk that entering the county illegaly is a crime, be it a misdeminor, still a crime, and criminals should be delt with.

I am of a mind that if you wany in as permission, just try and go to Mexico and buy land, run for office or even try and vote. See how far that gets ya with ol Fox.

I have nothing but respect for those guys and the millions of others like them who are NOT allergic to work, who don't blame anyone else for their lot in life and are just wanting a chance to work hard and succeed just like everyone else...

What kind of a lousy country gets rid of such wonderful hardworking people? What kind of a marxistcommunist philosophy would force such folks to run for their lives to the place their citizens call EVIL AmericaCapitalista?

Our problem is their country's corrupt system and philosophy--marxist greed is good for the guys at the top ONLY--there's no opportunity to escape poverty or reach middle class for hardworking poor people.

It's the marxist philosophy, estupido gobierno mejicano.

@158 crosspatch

Yeup, let's reward those here in the process daily of breaking federal laws installed to protect the country and its citizens. Let's tell them, you go boy! Let's reward them for breaking laws. What makes you assume they'll be law abiding if rewarded for the laws they've already broken?
Nice reward for those who came to this country legally, paying thousands of dollars to do so.
Just like my nephews wife who is legally here from Mexico.
And by all means show those wannabees just waiting to cross over illegally, hey lookee here you can get rewarded for breaking United States federal laws!
We went through this crap back in the '80s, and it encouraged more to break the law.
Great idea, lets all jump on the breaking the law band wagon.

a link at Malkin's site (michellemalkin.com), attached to the Carroll story.

writermom:

I think Val Prieto has the best response to the rumors of Castro's death (thus far only rumor - no official word).

His death, like those of Arafat and the other thugs throughout history, cannot come soon enough. When it does happen, you can be sure that the exile community will be popping corks like there's no tomorrow. Not that it would bring about change in Cuba immediately, mind you, but the seeds of freedom would be set in play.

We could solve this immigration problem by annexing Mexico. We could cut a deal with Fox.

241 Keeping the labor market underground is what the employers want. In this way they won’t have to pay them a fair wage or provide adequate working conditions. If all current illegal immigrants are made legal they will demand fair wages. Of coarse employers will have none of this so a second wave of illegal immigrants will be needed to fill those jobs “no American is willing to do“ ….

P.S. And what does your nickname mean or stand for?!?!?

Hmmm I must be older than you.

Back in my US Army days from years ago I was a Medic and we did medical evac with hueys coppers. The call sign( DUSTOFF) was given to us when one of guys ( Army- Air Force - Marines- Navy) were hurt in combat and needed to be air lifted to a MASH unit. Yes just like the old TV show.

Does that help.

This has to be one of the dumbest statements made by a French person.

Thanks.. I just bookmarked both links.. here is a quote from Frontpage:

(

3) Economic parasitism—to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo.

This segues perfectly into Alegrias' posts on the political situation in Mexico. And I have to agree with you on the spread of corruption into the US.. it is already here. People have no idea that ranchers down along the border where intimidated into selling off land that had been in their families for generations to drug cartels.

Last year in Nuevo Laredo, a border town in Texas a house was attacked by drug dealers using rocket propelled grenade launchers, grenades, assault rifles...

Dozens of American citizens have gone missing in this border town, many of them kidnapped and most likely, murdered.
