LET'S ROLL!!!
Good morning!!
I think I'm gonna have to call in sick again today. I've got zero energy. :^(
So, what to do? Clearly, this is an area where even the most die-hard conservative would agree there is a role for the central Government to get things going again, to begin the process of rebuilding and moving in basic supplies.
Chairman, you obviously don't frequent some ofthe threads I have been reading on the other side. There are quite a few pepople who think that the federal government has NO role to play in this disaster. I am not making this up.
The very best of luck to you tomorrow with your surgery! You probably won't be able to type for a while, is that right?
Good Wednesday morning to all. Be careful out there.
Ding-ding-ding! Exactly right, but apparently beyond the scope of understanding of the left. Evidently they operate in Star Trek reality and expect the Feds to be able to beam supplies out to the boonies. (rolling eyes)
Good morning everybody! I have high speed internet again, YAY!
I had the most remarkable conversation last night with some folks we had dinner with. They were telling us about a group of German Mennonites who years ago left Canada and immigrated to Mexico and set up their colonies. Now, their colonies have become so large there, that they can't support themselves and are immigrating (mostly illegally) here. (I'm still wrapping my mind around German Mennonites settling in Mexico, but they did.) The children are often afraid of police officers here because they were taught to avoid the Mexican Federales.
We have seen these folks around this town where we currently are visiting. They wear the traditional dress and speak German. The children are extremely well behaved in public. They attend school, except the girls are only allowed to attend through 5th grade and then made to stay home and learn housekeeping. Often, as teenagers they are working cleaning houses or mowing lawns to earn income for the family.
Guess I never realized that we had German Memmonite illegals coming across from Mexico....! We were told they tend to move on about every three years as that's the time frame that the INS tends to catch up with them.
The Able Danger hearing can be listened to online right now - C-Span 3.
Weldon has confirmed what we thought all along. The Able Danger information found information through Open Sources, so it is difficult for the Pentagon or anyone to claim that this hearing endangers national security.
