From Space to Animals with Hooters in Between

Space - the final frontier.

Huge asteroid to fly closely past Earth
Half-mile-wide rock to streak by just beyond moon's distance

An orbital diagram shows the positions of the inner planets as well as asteroid 2004 XP14, which follows a more inclined orbit (shown in blue).

An asteroid possibly as large as a half-mile or more in diameter is rapidly approaching the Earth. There is no need for concern, for no collision is in the offing, but the space rock will make an exceptionally close approach to our planet early on Monday, July 3, passing just beyond the Moon’s average distance from Earth.

There is no need for concern, really, then what is up with the following story?









NASA to formulate asteroid defense plan
Congress cites NASA 's “unique competence” to deal with hazard


VAIL, Colo. - NASA has begun a fact-finding appraisal of how best to detect, track, catalog and characterize near-Earth asteroids and comets — and what can be done to deflect an object found on course to strike our planet. NASA is on a fast track to give Congress an initial report by year’s end that will include an analysis of possible alternatives for diverting an object on a likely collision course with Earth. Given the likely scenario of decades of warning time, “this is not a last-minute search-and-destroy mission.”

I saw the movie Armageddon and it was a last minute thing. Thank God Bruce Willis saved the world from the asteroid or you would not be reading this blog right now!!!!!!!

As with my post on 6-22-06, this astrology stuff is really interesting. I have added it to my blog to reach a larger viewing audience. With such a well-rounded blog as this one, I can't figure out where my readers are. Tell your friends:

Nun Accused of Stealing $300G Turns Self In

OMAHA, Neb. - A nun accused of stealing more than $300,000 from the Omaha Archdiocese turned herself in. Sister Barbara Markey, 71, turned herself in to Omaha Police on Wednesday, after a warrant was issued for her arrest on June 22. She was released on her own recognizance later that day. According to the warrant, an audit revealed that Markey spent $307,545 for her own use or without documentation. The audit showed: Of the money, $81,149 went to cash and cash advances; $67,656 was spent on casinos; $33,488 was spent on gifts for family and friends; and $24,775 was spent for airfare, miles and transportation, according to the audit. The audit also showed that Markey opened a Great Western bank account in June 1999 and drew $76,628 from that account to make payments on her personal Visa.

Wow, if that is the Catholic vow of poverty, they must have a waiting list of wannabe Nuns. Which reminds me, with all the press about the Priests being pedophiles with easy prey (not pray), I hear Michael Jackson is studying for the Priesthood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







And in a related story...

You know religion used to be studied more at home in the old days. I remember before my wife and I got married, she lived in an apartment and her next door neighbor was very religious. As you know, the walls of apartments are a little thin. Well, we could hear the girl next door during her bible studies. She used to do the studies throughout the evening. She was very good sharing her studies because several men a night would stop by, one at a time, at about 1 hour intervals. I remember her sermons like they were yesterday. I would tell Vic to turn down her TV so I could hear them better. Within a couple of minutes of her study partner arriving she would start just like an old time revival. She would start praising the Lord. You would hear her scream 'oh my God,' 'Oh Jesus, oh yes Jesus,' then, 'oh my God, oh God Jesus, yes, yes, Oh Jesus I'm almost there.' Well, she praised the Lord a lot for sure! I doubt the donations to her church were like the organized churches of today!!!!








L.A. shoots down ‘Hooters for Neuters’
Bikini contest fund-raiser for pet spaying, neutering program raises hackles

LOS ANGELES - The city of Los Angeles' Animal Services Department will not accept money from a planned bikini contest fund-raiser called "Hooters for Neuters." Animal Services Director Ed Boks reconsidered Tuesday after city officials said the event was degrading to women. The money was slated for the department's spay and neuter programs.

City Controller Laura Chick said. "We are a city with all kinds of progressive programs that empower women and end discrimination in the workplace, and now we're being connected with a Hooters bikini contest. It isn't right."

Councilwoman Jan Perry said the department's attempt to be creative in telling pet owners to sterilize their animals "crosses the line." "I was surprised and amazed with the photograph on the flier, and I don't think it projects a good image for the city of Los Angeles," Perry said.

You gotta love this one.
1. Why is it considered degrading to some women who choose to label some women who choose to work and get paid to wear a bikini. The women wearing them don't feel it's degrading or they wouldn't have applied for the job.
2. End discrimination in the workplace - what discrimination?
3. Both the complainers are women.
4. With a name like Laura Chick...now that is degrading to women.
5. Once again someone tries to do something nice and a few complain, so the pets will suffer.
6. This was in Los Angeles where, since the invention of silicone, big hooters are a way of life, and they are worried that hard working women employed in legal, good-paying jobs is degrading.
7. Who are these women to judge other women anyway?

Boo bashes way to freedom, avoids neutering
Grizzly smashes 400-pound steel door, rips through two electric fences

GOLDEN, British Columbia - A freedom-loving grizzly bear named Boo smashed a heavy steel door and barreled through two electric fences to escape a second time from a resort near this south-central British Columbia town.

"It's unbelievable," spokesman Dalzell said. "We thought there was no way, it was absolutely impossible, but he found a way. It was basically like breaking out of Fort Knox." He said the bear bashed a nearly 400-pound steel door off its four bolts, destroyed an electrical box while tearing through two electric fences and scrambled over a 12-foot fence anchored with 2 feet of steel below ground.

Hello! This is no surprise, the bear was avoiding neutering. Can't blame him there, that will make a guy pretty strong for sure. Boy, add this story to my past stories and next one about bears and it shows they have been a busy bunch.







Bear Tries to Get Through Kitchen Window

NEVADA CITY, Calif. - Debbie Yates heard commotion in the kitchen before going to work and assumed it was the family cats knocking items off the counter. When she investigated, she was shocked to find a bear trying to squeeze its way through a window.

"I saw a big, brown bear, a third of the way coming in through the kitchen window," I raised my hands and yelled, 'Get out! Get out!' And lucky for me, it did."

Or was the bear shocked after one look at Debbie Yates?

I wonder if these bears are a relative of the bears mentioned in my 6-21-06 post?







OK my friends, as I sign off I will tell you one of my loyal readers, shown here, has heard of my plight to increase readers of this blog.

Injured Pelican May Have Been Under the Influence

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. - A California brown pelican flew through the windshield of a motorist on the Pacific Coast Highway in Orange County. The driver was sober, the bird he hit may have been under the influence. The driver was not hurt. The pelican needed surgery for a broken foot, and also had a gash on its pouch. The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center has received 16 calls of strange bird behavior in the past week, and was holding three other birds found disoriented and wandering through yards and in streets.

OK, where does a pelican buy booze? Does it hang out at a convenience store until it persuades someone to buy beer for it? Isn't there a law about flying under the influence?







Speaking of flying

Fight Causes JetBlue Flight to Be Diverted

NEW YORK - Police detained one woman and questioned two others early Sunday after a fight broke out in the first minutes of a flight to Puerto Rico, causing the plane to be diverted to John F. Kennedy Airport. One woman apparently started a fistfight with the other two.

In my 6-4-06 post I talked about another airline that made the same mistake. The passengers are going to riot because they are mad as hell and this is what happens when you quit serving peanuts.








Kentucky governor takes limo to cross the street

Frankfort Ky. - When Gov. Ernie Fletcher's day is over, he leaves his Capitol office, climbs into a Lincoln Town Car driven by a state trooper and returns to the Governor's Mansion — which is just across the street. Meanwhile, his administration is encouraging Kentuckians to get out and walk more for their health. In Kentucky, the Fletcher administration has begun running radio announcements across the state, calling on people to walk or bike more. In his State of the Commonwealth address earlier this year, Fletcher announced the kickoff of a fitness program to help fight obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

See, he is the government and the government keeps telling us we are obese and need exercise. Well, even he doesn't practice what he preaches. That is why I don't trust politicians.







Speaking of how obese we Americans have become, or so they tell us, check this out.

DETROIT - DaimlerChrysler AG Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche will announce plans to sell the company's popular and culturally hip micro Smart car in the U.S. starting next year. The two-seat car measures less than 9 feet long from bumper to bumper. According to specs, the fortwo can get up to 46 mpg in city driving and as much as 69 mpg on the highway, but its speed is not like its Mercedes counterpart. The two-seater is powered only by a three-cylinder gasoline engine.

OK OK if we are all so obese as the government says we are, then how are we going to fit in this thing? Hey, maybe the Kentucky governor should get rid of the Lincoln and get one of these!!!!!!!







Woman Gets Severed Finger in the Mail

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A woman received a severed human finger in the mail along with a threatening letter from her ex-boyfriend that said, "This is my last chance to touch you," police said.

Ohhh, that is such a touchy feely thing - how sweet!! However, one does have to wonder which finger he sent her. Maybe it was a different message!!!!!!

Prosecutors allege woman, 79, put ‘four to the head’ of 85-year-old victim

A 79-year-old grandmother was so consumed by rage last year that she shot her ex-boyfriend four times in the head. Lena Sims Driskell is charged with murdering her former beau, 85-year-old Herman Winslow, after their yearlong romance ended.


Murder in assisted-living home
“She had been dismissed. She didn’t appreciate it. And her revenge was four to the head.”

What a cad that man was or did he dismiss her because he was out of Viagra at the time? I wonder where they found a jury of 12 of her peers? This woman may have been convicted because the jury couldn't hear all of the evidence!!!!!







Woman chases down ‘Most Wanted’ suspect

A man profiled on “America’s Most Wanted” was arrested after he snatched a woman’s purse and she chased him down. Katherine Bolter’s purse was snatched outside an Office Depot store Monday morning. Bolter, 51, said she kicked off her shoes and chased after Caron. “The officers were telling me, ‘You can let go of him, ma’am. You can let go of him now,’ “ Bolter said.

This guy was profiled on “America’s Most Wanted" and a 51 year old woman kicked off her shoes, ran him down and held him for police. Wow, is he in for a surprise when he gets to prison. I suspect he will be the hit of the cell block!!!!

A 21-year-old Georgia man was arrested after trying to buy drinks with a checkbook he found at a bar. Unfortunately for Jody Brian Minor of McRae, the checkbook's owner was the bartender serving him. He was "extraordinarily intoxicated."

Not only was this guy "extraordinarily intoxicated," he was also "extraordinarily stupid."

They can't catch him because he can hear sirens a long ways away!!!!!







Doctors See Way to Cut Suffering in Executions


A flood of lawsuits challenging lethal injection as cruel and unusual has stalled executions. But medical experts say the current method of lethal injection could easily be changed to make suffering less likely.

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and All Points in Between

He's leaving


Andre Agassi's voice wavered and his eyes welled up. After years of dealing with injuries, after months of contemplation, he finally spoke the words he knew he had to, at the place he knew he had to. Turning what was expected to be a routine pre-Wimbledon news conference into something significant, Agassi announced Saturday he will retire after this year's U.S. Open, leaving tennis after two decades during which he collected a career Grand Slam and morphed from an "Image Is Everything" youngster to elder statesman.

This is a great man leaving a great sport. I have followed his career, and he has entertained me every time he takes the court. This is a sad time for me and for the sport of tennis. He has done more for the sport than anyone I can remember. He also has done more for the level of play from his opponents which in turn filled up stadiums and raised the TV viewing audience. At the end of the day, not only has he done that, but he has given back to his community. Too bad others don't take a page out of Andre Agassi's humanitarian endeavors. Thanks for the show Andre. You are and always will be the man!!!!!!!!!!!!







He's Coming July 7th

A sequel to my all-time favorite movie is coming and I cannot wait!


"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" with Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. If you have not seen the first Pirates of the Caribbean rent it before seeing this one! Great lighthearted fun!








He's here.

Las Vegas has grown so fast and our roads have become rolling parking lots. Those of us that drive around a lot find any little thing we can to amuse ourselves since we are either stopped or barely moving.


Maria was doing just that the other day and called me to share her find for the day. She was following a Volkswagen Jetta with Nevada vanity plates that read IM A 10. Hello, ego party of one, ego party of one.





Well, that is one of the best laughs we have had - an idiot who claims to be a 10, driving a Jetta. Only in Vegas!!




Now, maybe if he was driving one of these,









and he had an unlimited amount of these,



he could convince a few people he was a 10. Thanks for sharing a good laugh Maria!!

British demote goat after it marches out of line
After Billy’s swerving display, mascot no longer afforded military salutes


Since the goat’s demotion, soldiers of a lower rank are no longer expected to salute Billy as a sign of respect. The military mascot, a 6-year-old male goat called Billy, was downgraded from the rank of lance corporal to fusilier — the same status as a private — after army chiefs ruled his poor display had ruined the ceremony earlier this month at a British army base in Episkopi, western Cyprus.

I say, "those British are a proper bunch don't ya think"!!

1st - It lasted 10 years and he calls it faulty?
2nd - He waited 10 years to sue?
3rd - He was unhappy and he sued?
4th - And I saved the best for last. Why sue for chump change, do you realize how much money he could have gotten for one commercial?







It keeps on going and going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Equal Time and More

OK today I start off my blog with equal time.


Those of you loyal readers I'm sure have figured out by now that I am the first to criticize Senator Harry Reid from the great state of Nevada.







One of my loyal readers, Mr. A.G. Baxter, Master Chief Petty Officer E-9 Ret., has pointed out something Harry actually did right.


So in the interest of fair blogging here is equal time.

Last night the Senate approved an amendment to S. 2766 sponsored by Senator Reid (D-NV) that would end the benefit offset on military retirees deemed "unemployable" by the VA. These disabled veterans are certified as being unable to work because of their service-related disabilities and compensated by the VA at the 100% disabled rate. These disabled retirees have a large share of their VA disability compensation deducted from their service-earned retired pay. Last year, Congress voted to end this unfair practice - but not until 2009. Most 100% disabled retirees are seriously ill with life shortening disabilities and thereby suffer the most from the offset. They deserve their full earned retired pay now.

Way to go Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







Top Court Rules Against Illegal Immigrant

The Supreme Court on Thursday by an 8-1 vote dealt a blow to longtime illegal residents, ruling that a deported Mexican man who lived in the United States for 20 years is barred from seeking legal residency or other relief in the courts.

After his last deportation in 1981, Fernandez-Vargas, who was deported several times from the 1970s to 1981, returned to the United States, fathered a child, started a trucking company in Utah and eventually married his longtime companion, a U.S. citizen.

Finally the supreme court takes action. Bout time. Wonder who the lone no vote was?







Worker Switch Flick Goof Costs Company $11 Million

I can see how this happened now. Hey George, get the lights will ya!! No, the other switch you moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







Woman Practicing for Test Drives Into Canal

A 19-year-old woman may have to practice a little more after driving a borrowed taxi into a canal just before she was scheduled to take her driver's license test Wednesday.

Sounds like she was practicing to be a taxi driver to me!!!!!!!!!







Man's Message in Bottle Found After His Death

Years after casting a bottled-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a man's childhood message has been found and returned to his mother. Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old Joshua Baker wrote the message nestled in an empty vanilla container.

He died last February following a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned home after serving in the Middle East as a U.S. Marine. "I think he was just letting us know he was OK and to keep doing what we are doing," Holbrook said.

A mother and son's bond is the strongest thing in the world!!!!

Speaking of food, summer has hit here in Las Vegas and what better way to cool down than with a Dairy Queen Soft-serve ice cream. Summer and soft-serve, mmmmm good, but you have to eat it fast before it melts down your hand. In summer, that's crucial. Plus it is so good, it's hard not to eat it fast!










Now of course if it's cake you want then,

Sugary confections from high-end designers command up to $25,000









Well that's nice, but a little pricey, so on my budget I guess I better reach for the tried and true Cracker Jack snack.



And as a bonus they have a prize inside.








Ah, but alas, the Cracker Jacks have made me thirsty, so with 115 degree heat in the shade, I need to sip on something cool and refreshing like Lemonade.

Lemonade is summer.











Well, that takes care of the afternoon. Now it's on to dinner and what better way to wind down than firing up the barbecue.Never is there a bad time for a hamburger. It simply isn't summer without a burger.













Add a go with side for the burger, corn on the cob cooked on the barbecue and drenched in butter.












Then time to relax on the patio in 115 degree heat and sip on an ice cold glass of iced tea while dinner settles.











At the end of the day it's time to finish off the evening with a quick dip in the pool with Zoe'!!!!!!!!





Oh baby, my taste buds are working overtime.

How Stupid Is This

Big Cities Reluctant to Target Illegals

Despite a federal effort to enlist help from local police to catch illegal immigrants, some of the USA's biggest cities are declining to enforce immigration laws. Police chiefs, mayors and city councils are ordering local cops not to get involved as federal agents crack down on people in the country illegally.

"Vulnerable people have always needed to see the police as being there to protect and serve, and that can't happen when the first words out of a cop's mouth are, 'I need to see your papers,'" Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said.

Several jurisdictions have refused to help. Chicago police and city workers are prohibited from asking immigrants about their legal status. New York City's public hospitals promised last month that they would keep secret an immigrant's legal status.

Say what? Words like declining to enforce, refused, ordering cops not to get involved, prohibited, and keep secret. You gotta be kidding me - these people are here in violation of law. The cops are worried that the first words out of their mouths being "I need to see your papers" might tarnish the image of the police as being there "to protect and serve." What have I missed? I thought "to protect and serve" meant arrest anyone doing anything illegal. You know, like being in the country illegally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo.

A woman lost her footing after stepping over a retaining wall to take a photograph and went over a cliff, falling 500 feet to her death in a canyon.

In Michigan, The Grand Rapids Press on Sunday identified the woman as Deb Chamberlin, 52, of Rockford, vice president of the school board in the west Michigan community.

There are two important points here. The first is stepping over a retaining wall. The second is a vice president of the school board.

This is a very sad story for sure. However, they say a picture is worth a thousand words - I wonder if anyone developed the film?







Low-Slung, Baggy Pants Often Trip Up Thieves

Vicki Chandler, a 55-year-old underwriting associate at Cigna HealthCare in Chattanooga, Tenn., was walking to her car when a teenager in loose khaki pants approached her, pointed to her pocketbook and said, "I need that." He snatched the purse and took off. As he ran, his loose trousers slipped down below his hips. As he reached down to hold them up, the teen was forced to throw the purse aside.

It's a problem for perpetrators. Young men and teens wearing low-slung, baggy pants fairly regularly get tripped up in their getaways, a development that has given amused police officers and law-abiding citizens a welcome edge in the fight against crime.

And most of us have scoffed at the low-hanging, baggy pants that have been a fashion statement for more than a decade. Little did we know they are a crime deterrent.







Wife Accused in Swordplay Death of Husband

300 vanities for sale. The package has been opened but the vanities are new. I looked at my bathroom vanity and decided it was time for a change, so off to my handy Home Depot store I went. Once there I had so many options I could not decide which I liked so I bought all the store had. Still unsure I went to every Home Depot store in Las Vegas and bought all they had which amounted to 300. Wife wants to keep the one we have and insists I get the 300 vanities out of the garage.


Drug caches found in Home Depot vanities

Large quantities of drugs were found inside merchandise from at least two Home Depot stores. None of the customers who purchased the vanities that contained drugs are suspects.

Oil company execs defend high pump prices
Big oil bigwigs say Americans have it easy compared to other countries

Americans paying $3 per gallon at the pump have it relatively cheap when compared with prices globally, say oil and gas company executives who defend their record profits as essential to maintaining supplies.

In parts of Europe and elsewhere in the West, gasoline prices are more like $5 per gallon to $7 per gallon, said the chairman of ConocoPhillips Co., James J. Mulva.


The best defense is always a good offense. Tell us how lucky we are here in this country because it is so bad in other countries. Good offense deflects the issue and makes it sound like we should just be happy as we are only in the $3.00 range.

It seems as though on any given weekend at any park it appears the park has been overrun with what I have come to characterize as pigs. To my four-legged pig friends, I apologize. What I really mean is the type of pig shown below.




They come, they picnic, they party, and they throw their trash everywhere but in the trash receptacle!!! They are the true pigs. Who taught them that it is OK to just throw trash on the ground? There oughta be a law, oh wait, there is one!!

Florida Restaurant Sells $100 Hamburger


Oh baby!!! Hey are those potato wedges on the side?



At about 5 1/2 inches across and 2 1/2 inches thick, the 20-ounce mound of meat is comprised of beef from three continents - American prime beef, Japanese Kobe and Argentine cattle.

Please don't anyone tell the government about this one as they will try to regulate it!!!!!

By the way, for a less expensive but great burger in Reno, NV, try the Awful Awful burger at the little Nugget.

In the entire state of California and either Reno or Las Vegas, NV, go for the In-N- Out Double Double Burger.







BOSTON - It's creamy, it's sweet and it's become a staple of lunch boxes for generations of New England school children.


The beloved Fluffernutter sandwich comprised of the irresistible combination of marshmallow fluff and peanut butter, preferably on white bread, finds itself at the center of a sticky political debate. Sen. Jarrett Barrios, Democrat, plans to file legislation that would ban schools from offering the local delicacy more than once a week as the main meal of the day.

One more example of the Government sticking their nose where it does not belong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Animals are in Charge

Bear Steals 50 Pounds of Dog Food From Home

CHUCKEY, Tenn. Rela Foshie didn't know what to do when a black bear she said had recently visited her back porch decided to let himself in on Thursday.

"It came in the back door," she said. "I don't know how it got the door opened, but it did. He was in the hallway where the dog food was."

"He took the whole thing, the 50-pound bag of dog food and the plastic tub it was in, and dragged it though the backyard," she said. "That makes two bags. One last week and now one this week." "You can't do nothing to scare this bear away because he's not listening to you."

Let's see, the bear visited her home twice for dog food - not once, but twice and she says the bear doesn't listen. She must be bilingual. And CHUCKEY, Tennessee is where exactly, as it must be a hot bed of scholars!!!!!!







Woman comes home to find bear snacking on oatmeal

WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia - A woman came home to find a young bear eating oatmeal in her kitchen. Three police officers who went to the home Thursday couldn't get the bear to budge, so authorities let the animal finish its meal.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - A state judge on Tuesday spared the life of Lewis the cat, whose vicious attacks on neighbors landed his owner in court, but the terrorizing tomcat was ordered confined to the house at all times.

The owner had faced a charge of reckless endangerment because neighbors complained that the gray and white cat’s long claws and stealth had allowed it to attack at least a half-dozen people. Some who were bitten and scratched ended up seeking treatment at hospitals.

A Utah animal sanctuary offered to take the cat, but Eugene Riccio, the owner's attorney, said Lewis enjoys life in southern New England and wants to stay.


Obviously the attorney had long discussions with the cat to determine he didn't want to go to Utah because New England has better clam chowder!!!! That had to be an intelligent conversation for sure!!







Dog to Be Awarded for Saving Owner With 911 Call

ORLANDO, Fla. - A 17-pound beagle named Belle is more than man's best friend. She's a lifesaver. Belle was in Washington, D.C., on Monday to receive an award for biting onto owner Kevin Weaver's cell phone to call 911 after the diabetic Ocoee man had a seizure and collapsed. Belle had been trained to summon help in just those circumstances. Dogs help diabetic patients using their keen sense of smell, the animals can detect abnormalities in a person's blood-sugar levels. She was the first canine recipient to win the VITA Wireless Samaritan Award, given to someone who used a cell phone to save a life, prevent a crime or help in an emergency.

If people were only half as smart as dogs!!!!!!!







Another star has graciously agreed to post her picture on the site. Her name is April. She is a border collie who loves to go camping.












To my loyal readers (all 5 of you) the end is near!!!!!!!!!!!

U.S. arrests 55 illegal workers at Dulles airport

Official: Workers pose security threats; 1 had ‘unescorted access’ to tarmac

U.S. immigration officials said they had arrested 55 illegal immigrants who were working at a construction site in the secure area at Dulles International Airport.


Said Julie Myers, assistant secretary of Homeland Security in charge of ICE, “Unauthorized workers employed at sensitive sites and critical infrastructure facilities ... pose serious homeland security threats.”

Wow ya think Julie? Homeland security has an intelligent one there folks!!














U.S. sweep nets nearly 2,100 illegal immigrants
Operation Return to Sender targeting gang members, child sex offenders

In a blitz that began May 26, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested nearly 2,100 illegal immigrants across the country. Officials said the raids are aimed at child molesters, gang members and other violent criminals. The operation has caught more than 140 immigrants with convictions for sexual offenses against children; 367 known gang members, including street soldiers in the deadly Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13; and about 640 people who had already been deported once, immigration officials said. The numbers include more than 720 arrests in California alone. On April 20, agents rounded up 1,100 illegal immigrants in 40 cities.

OK, let's see, 12,000,000 subtract 2100 subtract 1100 = 11,996,800 or so to go. That's a start. Why has it taken so long?







Farmers Vow to Prevent Garden Demolition

LOS ANGELES - Workers tore down fences Wednesday inside a 14-acre urban garden while evicted farmers and their supporters kept watch and vowed to prevent bulldozing of the inner-city greenspace.

"We are just trying to grow food for our own selves, and that's not a crime."
Landowner Ralph Horowitz won a court order last month to remove about 350 farmers, although the city said many already had left to farm other city-provided plots. Garden supporters enlisted the aid of celebrities such as Hannah, folk singer Joan Baez and famed tree-sitter John Quigley, pitching the fight as a battle to preserve a scrap of nature in a concrete jungle. "What happens next is we keep fighting. Fighting in courts, fighting in politics," the attorney said.

Now this is the true illegal immigrant and Hollywood take on the situation. The land owner cannot use his land because someone planted a garden. Look out California beaches cause I'm going to plant a garden the whole coast line. Oh wait, I'm legal so that won't work, darn!!! Oh yeah, the land owner offered to sell the property, but I guess the celebrities didn't want to spend the money and the illegals feel they are entitled, same as they get health care and more free!!!!!!!!! Oh, and let's not forget the attorney, "We keep fighting. Fighting in courts, fighting in politics." And politics enter the picture how? Too bad no one comes to the aid of the landowner !!!!!!!!!!!






OK, now in closing I have two bits of information to share.

The first, emergency waiting rooms at the hospitals are often very crowded requiring a long wait. To eliminate the long lines, when you enter the waiting room, at the top of your lungs scream "immigration, immigration, immigration." Step out of the way, and in just a few minutes you will be the first in line!!!!!

The second, in The United States you can obtain free health care. Once you have been seen in the hospital emergency room and they send you to pay the bill just say "No habla Ingles" and it will be free!!!!
