Some thoughts on illegal immigration
As we await a cloture vote in the Senate on the current immigration reform bill, I have some general thoughts on the subject.
1. I am sick of hearing news outlets such as those on PBS continually refer to illegal immigrants as “undocumented immigrants” or “undocumented workers.” They don’t like to use the word “illegal” because it weakens the argument that we should put a halt to this. They want you to think that if you are against putting a stop to illegal immigration that you somehow are un-American since America was built on immigration.
Unfortunately, that argument is completely wrong. Those …
Judge Roy Pearson lost not only his pants, but his suit
The lawsuit brought forth by Roy Pearson, “The Case of the $54 Million Pants,” was lost today. Judge Judith Bartnoff rightfully ruled in favor of the defendants, the Chungs. Also, in a rare move in civil cases, the Judge awarded the defendants the court costs. Unfortunately, that is for actual court costs only and will not begin to cover the mountain of attorney’s fees they have accumulated defending this ridiculous lawsuit.

This case is a fine example …
Those must have been some great pants
We still await a ruling in “The Case of the Missing Pants.”

I don’t like to resort to name calling, since it usually indicates you have absolutely no argument, but either those were the most incredible pants he ever owned, or he is an absolute wimp. I guess the other possibility would be …
Justice is indeed perverse
There are many strange things going on in our justice system right now that are, when you think about it, perverse.
Scooter Libby is a man who has been charged with the sin of having a different recollection of events than that others interviewed in the Plame-gate investigations. I am not going to get into a discussion of whether he was right or wrong, lying intentionally, or anything of that nature. Anyone reading this will fall into one of three camps, unlikely to ever change their mind:
You hate the Bush administration and want to see Libby rot in jail as some …
The Paris Hilton Saga Redux
When I started blogging, I never thought I would ever in a million years write one post about Paris Hilton, let alone two. But this article, Paris Hilton: Please God, Save Me From Jail, brings up another point in my ongoing campaign for personal accountability.It seems that Hilton was spotted in LA carrying a copy of “The Power of Now” and a copy of the Bible. I have to say that the photos look extremely staged to me, which would make sense considering her entire attitude has been that she is undeserving of such terrible …
