Latino Gold

"As New Orleans redefines itself after Katrina, the influx of large numbers of Latino immigrants is another jolt for a city that has historically thought of itself as black and white."

Not ture. New Orleans before the hurricane was 80 percent black. They city has never really thought of itself as black and white.

"The [latino] group slept in a park for a month, showered with hoses and used bushes as toilets. By day they put blue tarps on roofs for a FEMA subcontractor.

"We ate once a day," Santos said. "We'd buy canned food from a store that had a few things for sale.""

Contrast that against this....

""There are thousands of blacks that are still out of town who can't get back to town because there's no housing," said Elaine Smiley, an African American, as she oversaw the renovation of her home in the Gentilly neighborhood. "If we had enough of those blacks back here, they could do the work.""

The mexicans did not need houses.


"But the laborers have brought a single-minded focus on work that many residents say is foreign to the Big Easy. "We're here to work," said Juan Sanchez. "We're doing this to build our own houses in Mexico.""

That is one reason why we need to keep them out. They are not hear to build a better America, just a better Mexico.

Somthing Useful

Well I have had a few problems out of my old bank. Since I have closed the account in Memphis I have two charges come through on the account. One charge was from January the 8th from a restaurant. The other charge was from January the 27th and from a different restaurant.

I closed my accounts at the end of February.

Apparently, if you use your PIN the charges go though immediately, but if you use your debit card as a credit card the charges can go though at any time.

The bank said that it was not their fault. It is not my fault. They also said they would turn over my account to a collection agency if it is negative for 30 days. While it might go on my credit, the lady said it was only on their for 7 years. I probably will wait them out , just out of spite. Secondly, i doubt the collection agency can find me and I also doubt they will do anything serious about it for the small amount of money. Of course i could hire a lawyer just to piss people off, and I might do that.

But to by myself some time, I decided to dispute the charges, just to make the bank do a little work.

Oh well, I learned something useful.

Illegal

A few comments on the illegal situation in American.

1) When you have an porous border and do not take care of it, you get what the problem we have now: Lots of illegals and they all think they belong

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/03/27/060327202800.c290z4uh.html

"The latest protest came after one of the biggest protests in recent US history Saturday when more than 500,000 people marched in Los Angeles against the immigration reform bill that would make it a felony criminal offence to be in the United States illegally. "

2) Why don't we send a few ICE agents down there are arrest a few.

"The bill would also require employers to verify social security numbers with the Department of Homeland Security, beef up penalties for immigrant smuggling and stiffen penalties for undocumented immigrants who reenter the United States after having been removed."

3) Of course that SSN has long been a de facto PIN, they might as well make it an actual pin, right? Because they can't solve the problem with the current laws they might as well enact a few more.

"At least 11 million illegal immigrants, most of them from neighboring Mexico, live in the United States and are responsible for keeping the human machinery of US cities humming. "

4) Yea right, what about the other 290 million in america.

""Today we march, tomorrow we vote," was the warning chanted by many of the 500,000 protesters who brought the second largest US city of Los Angeles to a standstill Saturday when they marched against the proposed crackdown on illegal immigration. "

5) Illegals and teenagers can't vote, and i am for keeping that that way moron.

"Truant students could face discipline ranging from suspension to exclusion from certain school-sponsored functions. Students who are cited by law enforcement officers can face fines up to 200 dollars and 20 days of community service."

6) Good there are consequences in America, and it is about time the illegals learned that.

"But in the ongoing debate over Nebraska's proposed concealed carry law, I find myself torn, perhaps because I'm dealing with it from a painful perspective that forces me to reconsider my own liberal [sic] outlook. My 24-year-old daughter, Rachel, was murdered on May 28 of last year. The man who climbed in through a bedroom window and killed her ......If any of the victims had been carrying a weapon, the outcome of that tragic confrontation would almost certainly have been better; it could hardly have been any worse. "

Actaully the death of your daughter had nothing to do with the conceal and carry laws. She could have owned a gun and kept it in her house, but choose not to. Though conceal and carry may save lives, it had nothing to do with the death of your daugther.

I think he is right

Source:"I would imagine that Russia and China feel that Iranian oil and money is more valuable to them than a non-nuclear Iran is. They are probably correct in that assessment. It is unlikely that a nuclear Iran would be much of a threat to either nation, while Iran being nuclear would weaken the United States.

As an additional bonus, if the U.S. ’solves’ the Iranian problem its own way, that will also probably benefit both China and Russia. Both nations would be happy to see our resources used against Iran, indirectly strengthening their own regional positions. Being able to paint the U.S. as a unilateral cowboy nation would just be a bonus."

Maybe we should call their bluff. I am not suggesting attacking or anything like that, I am suggesting tactical isolation and see what happens. I am pretty much resigned to the fact we can only delay Iran's ascension to the nuclear level. Might as well make it hurt our enemies in the process. I don't consider China and Russia as our enemies, but they sure are not our friends.

One of my dogs

My roomate has a couple of dogs, here is a picture i took of one with my cell phone. He is not even the cute one.

V for Vendetta

So i went to see V for Vendetta, with stewardess and her sister.

Short version
The goverment got blowed up.

Longer version
The goverment was blowed up by a man who believed in the primacy of ideas and the importance of freedom.

Political comments
The government was a religious right wing fascist government that rounded up the sinners and the homosexuals. So that would have to make V a liberal, which since he did not use guns, it is possible. "V for Vendetta" for also had a great line about what happens when people who don't have guns meet people who do.

Miscellaneous
I really liked the movie and so did the girls. While it had a lot of action, it also had a large amount of dialogue that referenced a lot of shakespeare. The very first meeting between V and EV had the most impressive display of alliteration that I have seen in any movie.

Another thing, what that some of the horrible things the government did in the movie are not really all that impossible. Many of them were done by Hitler.

Going Dark

This is the last post before I break down my computer. I do not know how long it will take me to get back online. I picked up the moving truck. It's max speed is 75mph, or so the little sticker says on the inside. I am washing the last load of clothes before I put the washer and dryer up.

I've got a lot of work to do before I am done. Wish me luck and safe travels.

Bestiality Rampant Among Feral Children

A recently published study reported that children raised by animals in the wild (popularly known as feral children) were six times more likely to engage in sexual acts with animals than normal children raised by humans. The suspected cause of these abnormally high numbers is suspected to be isolation, the same reason that causes lonely farm teens to experiment sexually with their livestock. As a side note, people living on farms during their adolescence are four times more likely to have a sexual encounter with an animal than the average person. Explaining the findings, one of the scientists said' "Sex is a basic primal urge. When it can't be fulfilled with healthy, normal people subjects will turn to alternatives. You can observe this at any bar. The unhealthy or unattractive females will eventually be picked up at the end of the night when no other prospects can be found."

Fighting fascism with Censorship

A British man has just been sentenced to three years in an Austrian prison for publicly denying that the Holocaust occurred. I am of the opinion that the Holocaust did happen, but I am also of the opinion that people should not be imprisoned for presenting their own viewpoints. This guy might be an anti-Semite, and he might be a real scumbag, but if he is then you can try and nail him for that. Denying the Holocaust is disputing an official version of history. If this guy thinks he can make a case, then let him. I don't think he will be successful. But throwing people in jail for speaking out against the official version of events is exactly the kind of sick twisted legacy that the Nazis would have been proud to leave behind. Nice homage Austria.

New Energy

Anyone that has followed this post knows that I am not a big Bush Cheerleader, but I like to give everyone a fair shake. On this note, I am really optimistic about Bush's call to develop alternative energy sources. Oil is a cheap and viable means of producing energy, but given its ultimately limited supply and our current political positions, it needs to be replaced as the only egg in our basket. Ethanol is a great backup choice. It is renewable, more environmentally friendly, and it would be produced in large part by American farmers. Granted, ethanol is only practical at this point with the help of government subsidies, but what would we think about gas prices if the government didn't help to keep them artificially lower than most other parts of the world? And I think nuclear is a good choice for household energy needs. I think we have advanced to the point where we should be able to manage the risks it presents. As much as Bush is criticized for catering to the interests of big business and oil, I think it is great to see him as a proponent of alternative energy.

Auto Awards

The International Society of Potential Suicide Bombers (ISPSB) have just named the Ford Pinto the greatest car of all time. It isn't the shiniest or fastest thing you could buy, but it can be converted into a roadside bomb with minimal effort.

Just A Note

If you ever live near a military base in Germany, you may be amazed to find out that old BMWs are extremely valuable on base, and worthless once you leave the gate. I have an old '88 316 beater that I bought from a friend. As long as they are running, you can expect anywhere between $900 and $1500 on base. But I tried to trade it in today, and I was informed that you can't give away an old BMW to a German. The salesman offered to store it on his lot until I could get rid of it, or try to find some good parts on it that I could trade him, but absolutely would not take the car. So now I am looking for another Joe to pawn it off on. Apparently Germans have to pay a really high tax to drive old cars that don't meet new emission standards. US soldiers are exempt from this tax, and we pay about a third of the price that they pay for gas.

Moving On

Dear Internet Friends,

Some of you who read this blog know that I have been looking for a job in
Tulsa to be closer to my girlfriend. Well, I have accepted a job in Tulsa.
The last day at my current job will be the 22nd. Presently, I do not know
what the date of starting the new job will be, but it will probably be
sometime during the second week of March.

Posting will be short, in passing, and probably be mostly about 24 during
this busy period. I hope to join you again on the great wide internets once
I am completely settled.

24

Last nights episode marked the return of Weepy-in-love-Jack. Weepy in
love jack was introduced last year because jack ran out of middle eastern
men to kill. Heh.

The last two weeks of 24 have been plot building. Next week should be build
more tension, though from the previews i can tell you that Jack will kill
more next week than he did this week.

Though i believe that next week marks the return of really, really hot
terrorist chick that has made an appearance in all 5 seasons. Some of here
more memorable events were trying to kill palmer with hand cooties, blowing
up a plane then jumping out of it, and then getting her butt kicked by jack
last season, though he let her go and did not kill her.

So far jack has straightened out two Presidents.
