Good catch, JH2. Putting differences regarding illegal immigration aside, when a police agency denies access to the Press, we have a problem. And with Commander Nicely, we have a huge problem.

Minuteman Project organizer Chris Simcox is expected to testify before Congress next week, but he's not good enough to attend a Homeland Security Department press conference in Arizona. On Thursday, Mr. Simcox, who also edits and writes for the Tombstone Tumbleweed, tried to gain entry to the press conference, where Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff was speaking, as a member of the press. As Jerry Seper of The Washington Times reported on Monday, Mr. Simcox was turned away for "security reasons," according to a spokesman for the Tucson Sector of the Border Patrol, which was acting as security detail for the conference. Apparently, the order came from Sector Chief Michael Nicely, who, by the way, has publicly denounced the Minuteman Project. Mr. Simcox makes this observation: "[Homeland Security] pulled 50 agents off the line to provide security. While they blocked me, there is no doubt that at the same time, hundreds of illegal aliens had no difficulty gaining access to the United States." An added irony is that the press conference was about the need for more Border Patrol agents.

Great minds think alike. I didn't see your post until after I did mine.
I'll drink to that and a happy good morning to you, too.

I hope it's coffee you're drinking ...:)
As some whiny left-leaning loons would say, "Who are you to judge me!"
Yeah, it's coffee. :-)
Whew! DL, I'm glad you asked that question, and sufferred DD's wrath. I was this close to doing the same, and I don't think she would have been nearly so nice to me as she was to you!!
I'm going to consider that a sexist remark. I've noticed that women seem to be a tad bit more violent and at times just down right meaner than men.

I'll see your 2 !!, and raise you one.
Punk!!!
Is it time to put down the shovel, yet?
<smooch> Stop your whining. </smooch>
I can see now my decision not to comment on your early morning drinking was a wise one.
I only drink to jump start the old ticker.

Is the body completely covered?
This hole I'm digging just keeps getting deeper, and deeper, and...
Time to head out...personal business to tend to...thanks for all you do!
