WHICH EVENT DID PRESIDENT BO HANDLE MOST POORLY?

The Gulf oil rig explosion, after which it took 9 days to respond, even though a response law was already on the books?




The Arizona immigration law, which mirrors current federal law?




The Times Square attempted bombing suspect almost making it out of the country, and would have had not an accidental discovery taken place (no thanks to the current administration)




The Nashville flood, to which there has been alsmost no federal response. (Can you say, Katrina?)




Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, who has no judicial experience.

IS HE TOO STUPID TO KNOW HOW STUPID HE SOUNDS? (Maher, that is)



Bill Maher on This Week discusses the Arizona immigration law with George Will

GEORGE WILL: "To enter Mr. McDonnell's Capitol building or to enter the House office building where Connie Mack works, you have to show a government-issued ID. I mean, this is -- this is synthetic hysteria by a herd of independent minds called our political class right now that has decided to stand up and worry about the Constitution being shredded by measures that have ample history of being sustained against constitutional challenges. Now, Mr. Maher just said, if I heard him right, that conservatives basically are racists and they like government intrusion only against people who aren't white. I mean, that's the level...

MAHER: Let me defend myself, because I was -- just what he said about rephrasing my -- I would never say, and I have never said, because it's not true, that Republicans, all Republicans are racist. That would be silly and wrong. But nowadays, if you are racist, you're probably a Republican.

WHO HAS TO OBEY THE LAW?

So, let me see if I have this straight.

Even though EVERY (that's right: EVERY...do you get that? EVERY) element of Arizona's "new" immigration law has ALREADY (did you get that? ALREADY) been tested in the courts and found to be Constitutional, and even though well over 60% of U.S. citizens approve of the legislation, Hispanics STILL think they should be able to be in this country ILLEGALLY, just because they want to be.

There's a really good series of articles about this over at Blue Pitbull. I highly recommend them to you.

OK, you liberals, do you believe that EVERY person on earth should be afforded EVERY privilege that EVERY American citizen enjoys?

If that is so, why don't they ALL do what we did: revolt against their government and recognize those rights in their own countries?

"Well, Joe, old buddy, old pal, because many of them would be killed in the process. Even a dummy like you could figure that out."

Is that so?

Have you ever heard of the Revolutionary War?

I have never spoken to a single conservative who does not believe that we should welcome immigrants with open arms, afford them a path to citizenship if they want it, and honor their desire to have opportunities they cannot get elsewhere.

But if Hispanics can achieve ILLEGALLY, what others must achieve LEGALLY, where is the "fairness" in that?

I know, love, appreciate and respect dozens of Hispanics in our Southwest Florida communities. Every one of them has properly "gone though the process," many having become American citizens.

They are wonderful, earnest, freedom loving people who respect the opportunity afforded them by the United States.

Not one of those protesting the "plight" of ILLEGAL aliens in Arizona, or anyplace else, for that matter, has ANY business aiding and abetting those who deliberately entered this country ILLEGALLY.

In fact, they should hang their heads in utter SHAME!

Furthermore, they should be at the head of the deportation line...ALL of them.

"But Joe, think of the boon to the economy these people afford us."

Boon my hind leg!

They, in fact, present us with a net DRAIN on our economy as we are forced to feed them, clothe them, heal them, incarcerate and educate them, without an proportional benefit to society (only to a relatively few farmers and the like.

What...you think a person "earning" below minimum wage on some vegetable farm or someone earning a poverty wage in some other work environment is somehow an economic boost to the economy?

If you think that, I encourage you to go back to 4th grade and learn math all over again.

But this is much more than "just" an economic issue.

It is a matter of the integrity of our nation.

How many times have I heard liberals object about one topic or another, "We are a nation of laws!?"

Yeah, as long as they are laws they like.

Hopefully, Arizona is the first of MANY states (including my own state of Florida) that will wake up and do what SHOULD be done with respect to ILLEGAL immigrants...send them back where they came from.

"Racial profiling," I hear you scream.

Well, then so be it.

It is not fair skinned Norwegians ILLEGALLY crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S. It is members of the Hispanic community.

If it WERE fair skinned Norwegians crossing the Atlantic to ILLEGALLY enter this country, I would say the same thing: round them up and send them back.

There is a process...work it!

Don't like the process?

Work to change it.

In the mean time, OBEY THE LAW!

How come I have to obey the law and they don't? Hmmmm?

Come on, Americans! Wake up!

LAST NIGHT IT HAPPENED!

We bought them when they first came out.

The stupid, lame-brained, half-witted, self-important, all-knowing, all-seeing, "we know what's best for you" environmental wackos told us we should.

"So," we thought, "Let's just give it a try and 'go green.'"

Thus, we bought a package of CFLs.

I put one in my office, and presto! I could not see as well as with the same wattage of incandescent bulb, and the color was really raunchy, so I took the CFL out and put the old bulb back in.

We stored the now unwanted CFLs in a cabinet in the laundry room, and thought no more about it.

At some point in the past, we put something in the self-same cabinet that was not pushed all the way back.

When the door closed, it pushed that something back into the package that contained the CFL. Unbeknownst to us, the CFL got broken.

Last night, my wife removed something from the cabinet and down fell the unremembered CFL package, already broken bulb and all.

It fell between the clothes dryer and the wall, breaking yet another CFL!

So, we had TWO broken CFL bulbs in a place we could not reach them.

My wife had not read the EPA instructions (found half-way down the page of the EPA link).

When I heard the commotion, I went to the laundry room and found her sweeping up the debris as though it were breakage from ordinary light bulbs.

I can't blame her.

For her entire life she and her parents have just swept up the remains of broken bulbs, no one had told her any differently, so she was just being a good little wife and cleaning up the mess.

"No, no, no!" I said, with all the earnestness of a man trying to hide his horror at the gravity of the situation. "You can't do it like that! Let me download the instructions for HAZMET cleanup of CFLs for you."

We have been up all night trying to clean up the mess, including the mess we spread around before following the EPA instructions.

We also no doubt have particles of glass and mercury laden powder UNDERNEATH the clothes dryer, which neither of us is able to move, me because of my heart, and she because of fibromyalgia.

So here we are...two sleepy people, by dawn's early light, and too much exposed to say, "Good night."

According to a study by Oklahoma State University, mercury, being a heavy metal, never leaves the body on its own. It affects the lots of body parts, including the brain, causing confusion, irritability and, yes, even death.

If you have bought, or continue to use CFLs in place of incandescent bulbs, thinking you are helping the environment, you are misguided, ignorant or just plain stupid.

If you say, "Well, I've been using them for years with no ill effects, so I'm going to keep on...," well hang in there...it's only a matter of time.

Get rid of your CFLs today and replace them with real light bulbs before what happened to us happens to you.

But how much damage could be done by two little lught bilbs?

I don't think I have hed ony brine domage to moiself. Averythong sooms nermul soooooooo for.
