The powers of a man’s mind are directly proportioned to the quantity of coffee he drinks. ~ Sir James Mackintosh
Confederate Yankee Dishonorable John — “It would seem appropriate that the United States House of Representatives should at the very least censure Congressman Murtha, who has gone so far out of his way to initiate such inflammatory and potentially dangerous rhetoric. He has dishonored his seat, the military criminal justice system, the Marine Corps and the United States of America.”
Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Immigration Center Advances — “The Senate continued to follow George Bush in a relentless effort to the center on immigration today, passing amendments that fund a border fence, lock out illegals with one felony or three misdemeanor convictions, and provide for guest-worker and citizenship programs. The amendments make it more likely that the House will compromise in conference to deliver the comprehensive reform plan that Bush has demanded, although James Sensenbrenner has announced his opposition already:”
Right Wing News (John Hawkins) A Guest Worker Program Is A Bad Idea — “The truth is that we don’t need a guest worker program or the illegal aliens that are here now and the country as a whole would be better off without them. Keep in mind that we’re talking about mostly uneducated people who do manual labor for relatively low wages and therefore, as they become citizens, they’ll start to use up much more in government services than they contribute back to the economy.”
Short Version for a busy day.
