Today’s Blogmarks
Grabbed from my blogmarks.
The victims of illegal immigration
President Bush accuses those of us who want to secure America’s borders and fully enforce our immigration laws of lacking “compassion.” Huh. Well, I have yet to hear an ounce of compassion from President Bush for America’s countless casualties of lax immigration enforcement. Where’s the sympathy for innocent, law-abiding citizens who have lost their lives at the hands of illegal aliens and their open-borders enablers?
We had a president in the 1990s who didn’t always mean what he said and didn’t always say what he meant. Once he even questioned the meaning of the word “is.” Now we have another president who tells us he opposes “amnesty,” but his definition of that term has little to do with what it says in the dictionary.
Minimum wage, maximum folly
About a fortnight ago, Mrs. Williams alerted me to an episode of Oprah Winfrey’s show titled “Inside the Lives of People Living on Minimum Wage.” After a few minutes of watching, I turned it off, not because of the heartrending tales, but because most of what was being said was dead wrong. Let’s look at it.
Welcome to the white-trash nation
In a scene from the upcoming “American Idol” satire “American Dreamz,” an industry suit tells the Kelly Clarkson-styled character and her mom that a “white trash” background is great for her image. “We’re not white trash,” the mom counters, taken aback. “Of course you’re not,” the suit replies, rolling his eyes at their garishly decorated middle-class home. “But look how well it did for Britney Spears.”
