This is funny but also scary. How did such a busybody get elected mayor of New York City, of all places? Maybe he thought he was really running for the Harper Valley PTA.
I realize after I posted that how it sounded. I am concerned about illegal immigration, too. But someone running a legit business like a grocery store, I don't have a problem with. I assume they're paying property taxes, etc.
I am eating some delicious tortilla chips I just bought at a Mexican grocery store on East New York Street in Indianapolis. I like most of the Mexican grocery stores I've been in. The one at Sherman and Washington is just as cheap as the Marsh next door and has a good selection. I'm not the only non-Mexican who shops there. The last time I shopped there, the checkout clerk was a black girl. I would rather see a thriving business than another closed-up store on Indy's east side.
I suggest something more subtle than a political lecture in the form of a book. Get him something nice that he likes - something for a sport, hobby or entertainment. He'll be flattered that you took the time to pay attention to his likes and he'll see conservatives as generous, observant people.

This is the show that the guy who spotted the snipers was listening to.
I'm a woman and I won't flame you. I'm saddened but not surprised to hear that. Generally speaking, women are more swayed by appeals to emotion than men.

I got this recipe from a book by Jane and Michael Stern. They travel around the country and write about the good food they find along the way.
I was honest and voted for John Waters because he would probably be the most fun and entertaining. I would be a little intimidated sitting next to the president.
I don't know that Eminem is "the next Elvis," but he acted well in this moive (admittedly playing himself). It isn't self-hating, though. It's about working hard to make it out of a crappy trailer park. I would say more, but I don't want to post any spoilers.
