Random thoughts...very random
- Illegal immigrants were out by the thousands this weekend - many of them waving Mexican flags - protesting the U.S. possibly enforcing laws that are already in place, and then saying they still want to be part of the U.S. I don't know about you, but I'm baffled.
- Zacharias Moussaoui said he was actually an initial part of the 9-11 planning. Wow, really?
- Speaking of 9-11, the "theorists" are correct. I figured it out today. Flight 175. Flight 93. Flight 11. 175 minus 93, minus 11 is 71. 7 plus 1 is 8. There are 6 letters in the word Boston. 8 plus 6 is 14. Each of the three planes had a pilot and co-pilot, that's 6 total. 14 plus 6 is 20. How much is 9 plus 11? Ha! It was there all the time, and those stupid government folks couldn't figure it out. I did it in less than 1 minute. Minds like mine are rare indeed.
- Some guy in Afghanistan wants to convert to Christianity, but according to Islamic law he must be executed for that. Evidently we're misunderstanding Muslims again.
- Speaking of such things, an Indian man said the word "Talaq" in his sleep 3 times. Talaq means divorce, and local Muslim leaders told them to separate immediately or face the consequences. In the U.S. of course, an attorney has to say the words "half his stuff" three times to make divorce official.
- Terry Shiavo died a year ago, and we're still talking about it.
- A married man is suing e-harmony for banning him from the singles-only dating service.
- The Tennessee minister's wife who killed her husband is suddenly "confused" according to her attorney.
- The NFL is about to pass a rule limiting end-zone dances. What they need to do is pass a rule limiting player interviews. That would be something I could get behind.
- 7 million illegal immigrants just tried to leave at the same time, but were stopped "3 stooges" style at the door.
- Julia Roberts is on Broadway now, but not without a price. She said she's taking a $35,000.00 a week pay cut. Please - somebody send her a coupla McDonald's gift certificates before the poor dear starves.
- Barry Bonds says his life "is in shambles". At last, his life mirrors his home run chase.
- Of the approximately 10 buzagabillion NCAA pools in this country, not one single person had George Mason University making it to the final four. Actually, 98% of the country thought George Mason was that scary actor guy
.
- Yesterday's news reports from Seattle said the man who shot and killed six total strangers - then himself - was very polite as he did the act. Thank goodness for that. If there is anything I've always stressed to my children this is it. "When committing incomprehensible mass murder, make sure you always say please, thank you, and hold the door for your female victims." It's about time good manners entered the picture again.

Oh, the illegals, absolutely. Will you join me in my boycott of Florida citrus fruit, Californian vegetables, Kansas City steaks, clean pools, mowed lawns, new subdivisions, and washed dishes in fast food/family style restaurants until the above industries rid themselves of "undocumented workers" and replace them with that huge pool of willing but unemployed children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren of immigrants and imported laborers? What's that? The cost of the low prices we demand and the services we take for granted is illegal immigration? Bummer.
The contrairian in me says that given that these folks were motivated enough to scale obstacles, cross the Rio Grande, march through the desert and dodge the Border Patrol and INS so that they can live 10 to a room and earn peanuts by our standards shows that they are exactly the kind of motivated self-starters America needs. And before anyone succumbs to apoplexy, my tongue is wedge firmly in my cheek.
As a LEGAL, green card holding immigrant of a decade's standing I support the idea of an American Foreign Legion option for illegals: forts in the Sonara Desert, battalions of central and south Americans on hand to aid the march of democracy throughout the fertile crescent, and after five years citizenship. I mean, it works for the French...
I'm sure I could find one or two struggling actresses in New York who would be willing to take Julia's role for $35,000 a YEAR.
Come to think of it, I'd even be willing. Just trot around on stage and then pat myself on the back for it? Sure.
when people ask me why i like it over here so much, i think i'm just going to start referring them to this list.
