Son of News You Can Use

That's right - it's back! The news repeated ad nauseum, but with a refreshing twist of lemon/lime.

~~News You Can Use~~ Son of News You Can Use:

Do you think that those who support this garbage ever considered what sort of rights the terrorists bestow upon captured U.S. servicemen?
I really hate it when this happens...
There are some that think this is made up to get people 'scared'....I don't think so Lucy.
Anyone who has a cat knows that inside every 'Fluffy' there lurks a ferocious beast...
These might be 'hot' but what do you bet they'll be on sale with big discounts in two months?
This is good news. Now what about DDT being taken of the list?
Oh bummer....so much for 'dealing with talk radio' outside of the business market...
Considering the nightmares people are having flying across the nation, I don't know if I'd tempt fate going this far out....

....the witch is dead:

Senate drives stake through immigration

WASHINGTON - President Bush's immigration plan to legalize as many as 12 million unlawful immigrants while fortifying the border collapsed in the Senate on Thursday, crushing both parties' hopes of addressing the volatile issue before the 2008 elections.

The Senate vote to drive a stake through the delicate compromise was a stinging setback for Bush — who had made reshaping immigration laws a centerpiece of his domestic agenda — engineered by members of his own party.

It could carry heavy political consequences for Republicans and Democrats, many of whom were eager to show they could act on a complex issue of great interest to the public.

"Legal immigration is one of the top concerns of the American people and Congress' failure to act on it is a disappointment," a grim-faced president said after an appearance in Newport, R.I. "A lot of us worked hard to see if we couldn't find common ground. It didn't work."

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., his party's lead negotiator on the bill, called its defeat "enormously disappointing for Congress and for the country." But, he added: "We will be back. This issue is not going away."

It isn't mentioned in this news article but Ted "The Lifeguard" Kennedy was later bloviating to the media about this POS legislation being staked through the heart by trying to equate this to the Civil Rights fight back in the 1960's. Uh....yeah Ted....have another double Scotch on the rocks, will ya?

Sorry, this isn't even close to being anything like fighting for 'equal rights' - this was a lame attempt to curry favor with the Hispanic voting block (if there really is one) right before everyone 'gets down to business' for the 2008 election. Now as to why President Bush would be pushing this hard-core....I dunno. I can only think that he's trying to make some 'positive' impact to be linked to the legacy of his presidency. I sort of, kind of understand....but I'm afraid that I'm going to have to call BULLSHIT on this one Mr. President and it'll apply to you and all of those Senators with an 'R' beside their names that were also pushing this in the Senate.

And to those that were pushing this and calling people like me 'bigots' and all sorts of other vile crap for expressing our opinions on this, just remember this:

Paybacks are a BITCH!!

You want to get on my 'good side'? Seal the border and actually try to maintain the sovereignty of this nation.
