So of course, the Arizona Immigration Bill has created a lot of controversy out there, why not weigh in? Well, mostly because I'm not really that versed on the issue at hand, but I'll see what I can come up with. Disclaimer: I am originally from N.Y. and I've never lived near a national border. I don't know the local circumstances down in Arizona, and it's not really fair for me to pass judgement on something I don't quite understand. That said, according to my understanding, this bill is a step too far in combating what I think is a legitimate problem. From what my friends from Arizona have told me, illegal immigrants are a drain on their local economies and a source of a lot of violent crime. If Arizona feels that the federal government hasn't looked out for it's interests and benefits on this issue, I think they should be able to protect themselves and come to their own legislative solution. However, this new bill reaches too far, and will inevitably lead to racial profiling and discrimination. So from my uneducated, New York point of view, I believe this new law is pretty indefensible and is an affront to civil liberties. Bad Arizona *rolled up newspaper to the nose*. Again, if I'm wrong or miserably uninformed, feel free to provide a thoughtful response in the comments.
Here's a protest movement I can get down with (via the WaPo)
Bewbs... niiiiiiiiice. I know beggars can't be choosers, but next time more bewbs, better looking women, and less hippies would be great.Obama wins points with me by hosting the Yankees at the White House, but probably will lose favor with the rest of the country for it. Also in attendance was White House resident tax-cheat, Tim "I never had a real job" Geithner. If you want to place some of these stamps on our dollar bills, be careful, you might be prosecuted. They can prosecute people for that and I won't particularly care, but damn 'em to hell if they start going after the "Boner Dollars." I'll never give up that right!
Bad news for the U.S.? .... I always say if shit hit the fan here, at least I'll be prepared to live in China/Taiwan, but that's supposed to be a joke. At least English is still dominating, suck it frogs! Just kidding, I love France ever since their first lady is Carla Bruni (hot and noody!).
Time for the obligatory lament Britain's fate link... of course, you can find bullshit like this in America too, so don't lament too much. Remember, the British are the ones who bring us gems like this (h/t: Hotair). He is risen..... the evidence lies in the bacon fat!
