Why are folks so panty-bunched that the new Pope is a Catholic?
grass… green… bear.... woods.... *hellll-o-o*
Goin' after the Goose
howz about the gander, eh?
Republicans were “prepared to vote at the earliest opportunity to empanel an investigations subcommittee to review various allegations concerning travel and other actions” by DeLay, [Rep. Doc Hastings] said.
Oh yeah? Including the incredibly moral Mzzzz Pelosi?
Mexican diabetic woman on hunger strike over illegal immigration
amazing—she’s in favor of it
A San Pablo CA resident has moved her bed into her front yard and is giving interviews from it claiming to be on a hunger strike over the Minuteman Project. As she started her hunger strike only this Friday, one must assume Diana Ponce [yep she’s Mexican] may not have cable news.
Upon hearing Governor Girrrly Man’s original statement yesterday, she renewed her dedication and then faulted Ahnold for not speaking Spanish well enough.
No word on whether or not Sra. Ponce is a legal immigrant herself…

Schwarzenegger -- Girrrly Man
don’t even mention ‘special interest’ politics and pension funds...
Yesterday: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger urged federal officials to beef up enforcement and secure the state’s borders against illegal immigrants, saying Tuesday they must clean up a “lax situation” instead of “trying to run the other way.”
“Close the borders. Close the borders in California, and all across Mexico and the United States,” ..."Because I think it is just unfair to have all of those people coming across, and to have the borders open the way it is,” the California governor said. “We in California have to still finish the border. That is the key thing — to have borders and to keep the law, enforce the law."
Go Governator! Fall out? Sure:
Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez issued a statement saying Schwarzenegger should “ratchet down this rhetoric and retreat from this narrow-minded approach to immigration.” [blablabla] “political extremists, not rational policy-makers,’"
Extremist, irrational, narrow-minded suggestions that the first thing people ought not to do upon “immigrating” to a new country is express utter contempt for the laws of that country. Ahnold, you Nazi!!
Yeah, yeah, yeah—big deal. Some Assemblyman I never heard of takes this opportunity to make DhimmoCrap points. But since this is one of the issues Ahnold was really, really clear on, being a legal immigrant himself; since he claims to be a ‘law and order’ guy; since he claime to love his country and his state; since he claims to be a sane human being—surely he would stick by his statement: “the key thing — to have borders and to keep the law, enforce the law.”
Well… Yer gonna hafta stop calling me Shirley…
Today: Schwarzenegger says he misspoke yesterday before a group of newspaper publishers in San Francisco.
The governor says his comment to close the borders was a “total screw up.”
He says he meant to say the United States should secure its borders.
The Austrian native says he might need to go back to school to bone up on his English.
Can’t ‘bone up’ unless you got a set, Arnie-boy.

I’m a little behind on my TV, but did I just hear that Jack Bauer pulled a Minuteman last night?
*snerk*
Searching for a Clue . . .
theories—for sale or for rent?
Why is el Presidenté Bushé taking the [lack of] stance he has on Border [lack of] Control?
-- Is it just as simple as cheap labor for fat cats?
-- Is it all about a grand scheme that they think we citizens are toodamdumb to comprehend?
-- Are there hints of photos involving a ballclub owner, a pony, creamed corn, a feather duster and a quarter?
-- What about international economics and the state of the USD vis a vie world currencies?
[for me to get this one, I’ll need lots of explanation in simple terms and words of one syllable or less]

Minuteman Project -- A WIN!
striking while the iron is hot
April 18, 2005 (Tombstone, AZ)---The Minuteman Project (MMP) stated today that because of the tremendous success of their grassroots effort in just 17 days of operations, MMP involvement in border monitoring in Cochise County will cease at 2pm on Wednesday, April 20. MMP founder Jim Gilchrist will take their success to Washington, DC at the invitation of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus. Gilchrist stated: “We have demonstrated that ordinary citizens sitting in lawn chairs not only have the will but the means to secure our border. If our own elected officials will not defend our nation’s border, American citizens will."
Jim Gilchrisst We are announcing that because of our tremendous success, this phase of the Minuteman Project is now complete and we will be taking our message to the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus at the invitation of its chair, Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO). We have demonstrated that ordinary citizens sitting in lawn chairs not only have the will but the means to secure our border.
Activities sponsored by the Project will continue indefinitely in this area under the direction and guidance of Chris Simcox of Civil Homeland Defense, headquartered at Tombstone, Arizona. This is not a withdrawal of civilian volunteers from their observation and reporting activities in Cochise County.
...We have been approached by citizens in adjoining states about forming similar projects to help them protect their own borders - a job our President and Congress will not do. The Minuteman Project will take the next few months to reorganize, expand, and to become larger, better, and stronger. If our own elected officials will not defend our nation’s border, American citizens will.
Chris Simcox I am pleased to announce the phenomenal success of Minuteman Project in Cochise County, Arizona in its first 17 days of operations. At 2 pm on Wednesday, April 20, 2005, Civil Homeland Defense volunteers will assume full operational control of the civilian border watch effort through the end of the month and will continue the effort indefinitely. Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist will direct his efforts towards organizing the second phase of the Minuteman Project that will protest employers who hire illegal aliens. Jim Gilchrist will join me in taking our success to Washington, DC at the invitation of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus.
Border monitoring will continue and this should not be construed as a split or a cessation of the operation. Minutemen observers will continue under the direction of Civil Homeland Defense (CHD), [which] created the tactical organizational model that provided the infrastructure for the Minuteman Project. In essence, the Minuteman Project has provided the recruitment mechanism for the CHD border monitoring infrastructure.
Government must defend us against INVASION by others.

In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a brave and scarce man, hated and scorned. When the cause succeeds, however, the timid join him ...for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

Spliff and Mary Jane Go on a Field Trip
...and what fine outfit do these nice kids belong to?
Grey Deacon told Joseph Farah’s nationally syndicated “WorldNetDaily RadioActive” audience yesterday that ACLU monitors sent to the border to watch Minuteman activity and report civil-liberties abuses to authorities have begun flashing lights, sounding horns and warning off illegals and their “coyote” human smugglers from entering territory patrolled by the volunteers.
“Legal Observers” committing Illegal Acts. Whoda think?
"The ACLU’s position is that illegal aliens have a right to enter our border and stay in this country as long as they want,"
Uh.... “illegal aliens”... “have a right to enter”.... but that’s what makes them illegal....
Well, I guess I just don’t have a “legal mind” cuz that baffles me a bit. Or maybe there is another reason for their logic flaws....
President Bush has referred to the Minutemen as “vigilantes.” And some Border Patrol officials have suggested members of the group are interfering with the government’s work.
Same as if I grabbed a shovel out of the hand of a CalTrans guy [what those fellas call a “leanin’ pole"] and proceeded to dig.That kind of “interference.”
The ACLU has claimed the group is creating a “powder-keg situation” on the border that could lead to violence.
“President Bush should publicly denounce Mexico’s latest act to curb U.S. law,” said [Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-CO]. “The president of Mexico is threatening to sue any member of the Minutemen who have contact with a Mexican national, threatening to take the U.S. into the International Court of Justice at The Hague over the passage of Prop 200 in Arizona, and is providing transportation to Mexican nationals trying to sneak into the U.S. One could say he is acting in the best interest of his nation. Isn’t it unfortunate we cannot say the same thing about President Bush?"
Go, Tom!
Also, here is an excerpt of an eyewitness report from one of the Minuteman Project volunteers who has seen some of the ACLU’s activities here:
The ACLU is getting desperate to get something on the Minutemen and are trying to provoke incidents now. They pushed one of the Minutemen the other night trying to get him to push back. Didn’t work. Then last night they walked up and shined a spotlight right in a Minuteman’s face from six inches or so away. Didn’t work that time either. We immediately report these types of contacts with them to the Sheriff to counter any claims they try to make against us. They should be called the UCLU (Un-American Civil Lawsuit Union)They give us the middle finger every chance they get to try to get us to react. We are still trying to figure out if that is their age or IQ.
“The ACLU has claimed the [Minuteman] group is creating a “powder-keg situation” on the border that could lead to violence.”

Ovid's Laundry List!!
Aeschylus’ Diary of My Bowels!!
UK Thousands of previously illegible manuscripts containing work by some of the greats of classical literature are being read for the first time using technology which experts believe will unlock the secrets of the ancient world.
...The Oxford documents form part of the great papyrus hoard salvaged from an ancient rubbish dump *ahem* in the Graeco-Egyptian town of Oxyrhynchus more than a century ago. The thousands of remaining documents, which will be analysed over the next decade, are expected to include works by Ovid and Aeschylus, plus a series of Christian gospels which have been lost for up to 2,000 years.

The MinuteMan Project
working? I think so...
Field Notes Written by a Minuteman Project Volunteer
I was on the Naco, Arizona/Mexican border 6am - 2pm daily from Sunday to Wednesday, with two other Minutewomen and two Minutemen.Below is the story a rancher’s wife told me, who lives on 800 acres of land, in the family since the 1880s. Their ranch begins at the Mexican border.
She and her husband have four children. They came to our Minuteman post requesting that Minutemen be stationed on their nearby property. She said she hears gunshot every night on her ranch. Has no idea exactly where it is coming from.
Since the Minutemen arrived, she claims the gunshots have stopped.
Recently, a drunken illegal alien wandered onto their ranch at night. She was home alone with her children. The illegal alien pounded on their front door. She said she and her terrified children crawled on their stomachs to the back of their house to get away from him. While retelling this event, her pretty eyes were filled with both terror and humiliation.
The family’s ranch is stampeded by illegal crossings. Years ago, they said their ranch was peaceful and safe. That it was rare to see illegal crossers.
The husband said he was recently on his property and was astounded to count over 200 illegal crossers in a group nearby. He said he called the border patrol on his cellular phone.
He was told by the woman on the phone that it was not possible to see 200 hundred crossers because they would never cross in such a large group. As he was being told this, the 200 were crossing right before his eyes!
This ranching family thanked us profusely. They said if we needed anything - food, showers, rest - we were welcome at their home. The gruff rancher husband had tears in his eyes when he said goodbye, thanking us.

Loverly in Lun-Done
just pop this on your face and your beuu-tay worries will be over!
Even though the al Qaida supergrass* finked out the cop killer, Kamel Bourgass, and many others, he has no idea where the ricin they made is. It was described as being hidden in “two nivea pots” so I’m assuming we oughta be looking for this:
Ol’ Kamel [is that the name his mother gave him?!?] and his pals were planning to wipe the ricin on random car door handles and rub it on toothbrushes in the local markets. Considering a bit of it “the size of a grain of salt” can kill a full grown man, they have a nice supply—enough to keep folks on their toes for months to come. Which, I guess, is pretty much the point. Can’t keep yer eye on the ball when yer worried about every door handle and stair rail being lethal…
And in a side note not relevant to anything going on here in the good ol’ secure U S of A, here’s a little more about cell leader/cop killer Kamel:
[and his nickname is....]
Bourgass arrived in Britain in the back of a lorry from Calais.
Today Home Secretary Charles Clarke pledged an urgent review of immigration laws after it emerged that Bourgass had twice been turned down for asylum and could have been deported as an illegal immigrant six months before he killed the officer.
Just remember, kidz—wash yer hands, wash yer hands, wash yer hands… Then wash ‘em again.
* yep - it’s a word. supergrass; police informer who implicates many people.
