Pondering

If people cared half as much about border security as they do about Paris Hilton’s adventures in and out of the jail house, there would be no border security problem.

There must be an election coming up

The Coward Republican Party is starting to issue the empty platitudes about needing to secure the border. Sorry, Mr. Frist. Your 11th hour electioneering won’t work on people who have actually been paying attention to the Senate’s actions – or lack thereof.

It’s (not) Miller Time – Updated

I have to admit that I like good beer, which is probably why I don’t drink the toilet water “beverages” known as Miller, Miller Lite, or Miller Genuine Draft. Michelle Malkin has given me another reason not to drink this barely-filtered yak piss. I’ll stick with Saint Arnold, thankyouverymuch. Update: Miller spins and spins, but [...]

Aboooooouuuutt FACE!

Last month, The U.S. Senate voted to deny funding to build a 350-mile fence along the U.S./Mexico border.  Yesterday, in an abrupt reversal, the Senate voted to approve funding for the fence.

One month to the day….

On May 9th, I sent a letter to El Presidente and to both my senators about the open border situation. Today, I got a reply from Senator Cornyn’s office. As promised, I’m posting the reply here.

El Presidente Jorge Arbusto

You blew it.  About the only thing I didn’t hear tonight was El Presidente trying to redefine the word “is”.

Open Letter

I pay close attention to current events happening in the United States, and I must shake my head in dismay at what I see.
