Why not shot at the stake?

This should be news?

Sen Stabenow voted for this bill!

Senate bill protects employers of illegal aliens from penalties: "Among those who will be cleared of past crimes under the Senate's proposed immigration-reform bill would be the businesses that have employed the estimated 10 million illegal aliens eligible for citizenship and that provided the very 'magnet' that drew them here in the first place.
Buried in the more than 600 pages of legislation is a section titled 'Employer Protections,' which states: 'Employers of aliens applying for adjustment of status under this section shall not be subject to civil and criminal tax liability relating directly to the employment of such alien.' "
Geeze. Looks like amnesty, walks likes amnesty, quacks like amnesty.

A culture of coruption!

Yup! Another democrook, on tape, takin' the bacon.
BREITBART.COM - Filing: Tape Shows Lawmaker Taking Money: "A congressman under investigation for bribery was caught on videotape accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant whose conversations with the lawmaker also were recorded, according to a court document released Sunday. Agents later found the cash hidden in his freezer.
At one audiotaped meeting, Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., chuckles about writing in code to keep secret what the government contends was his corrupt role in getting his children a cut of a communications company's deal for work in Africa. "

Duh Vinci Code!

OpinionJournal - Wonder Land: "Here's my theory of 'The Da Vinci Code.' Dan Brown was sitting one night at the monthly meeting of his local secret society, listening to a lecture on the 65th gospel, and he got to thinking: 'I wonder if there's any limit to what people are willing to believe these days about a conspiracy theory. Let's say I wrote a book that said Jesus was married. To Mary Magdalene. Who was pregnant at the Crucifixion. And she is the Holy Grail. Jesus wanted her to run the church as a global sex society called Heiros Gamos, but Peter elbowed her out of the job. Her daughter was the beginning of the Merovingian dynasty of France. Jesus' family is still alive. There were 80 gospels, not four. Leonardo DiCaprio, I mean da Vinci, knew all this. The 'Mona Lisa' is Leonardo's painting of himself in drag. Da Vinci's secret was kept alive by future members of 'the brotherhood,' including Isaac Newton, Claude Debussy and Victor Hugo. The Catholic Church is covering all this up.'
Then Dan Brown said softly, 'Would anyone buy into a plot so preposterous and fantastic?' Then he started writing."

Maybe the Enron guys could use this accounting tactic?

City questions severance for fired manager: "According to city records, Burns' severance package, which the city has not yet paid, totals nearly $73,000 -- about $50,000 of which is unused vacation and sick days.
Mayor Rillastine Wilkins has questioned that $50,000 figure, noting that Burns himself apparently was responsible for keeping the records. "

Slap an environmentalist upside the head!

A-3s in Museums: "NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey
NA-3B
BuNo 138922 FEWSG Bird
(dateline 5/3/04) They originally had 2 Skywarriors. One was being transferred to a museum somewhere in New Jersey by helicopter sky crane which broke loose and dropped the Whale in the woods totaling it out..............this was about 12 years ago. The last Skywarrior they had was scrapped/destroyed because the environmentalists in the area were concerned about pollution off of the old aircraft. So Skywarrior #138922 is no more"

American idiocy!

The Blotter: "Terreri says air marshals are not able to work undercover because check-in and boarding procedures at airports make it impossible for air marshals to maintain their anonymity:"

Illegals granted Social Security: "The Senate voted yesterday to allow illegal aliens to collect Social Security benefits based on past illegal employment -- even if the job was obtained through forged or stolen documents. "

There is a difference....

... between democrats and GOPers.
Reid calls language proposal racist: "Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called a proposal to make English the official language 'racist' on the Senate floor yesterday.
'This amendment is racist. I think it's directed basically to people who speak Spanish,' the Democrat said during the already tense debate over immigration reform. "
The opinionated Senator just happens to be a DEMOCRAT. The article sorta thinks it's not too important. I disagree.

What would Jesus do?

Mexicans Say Nothing Will Halt Migrants -- Newsday.com: " 'We'll go under it, we'll go over it, we'll go through the air, the sea or the earth, but they're never going to stop us from crossing,' said Jesus Santana, a Tijuana truck driver who was caught trying to cross and deported. "
Well, at least we don't have to wonder...

Ummm, fresh Faggot......

1st Mesaba, now NWA!

Northwest Airlines warns flight attendants negotiations are over: "Northwest Airlines Corp. is warning flight attendants that they won't get a better deal if they reject the wage-cutting pact they're voting on now.
Flight attendants are voting through June 6 on whether to accept a tentative agreement that would cut their pay 21 percent and require them to work longer hours. "
Get your walkin' shoes out, Muskegon!

Nifty site!

RedKid.Net
AtlantaGuy has been tormenting me with this one lately.

Fly-over country, once again....

Main local airline may face strike: "Muskegon County Airport officials are keeping 'fingers crossed' as Mesaba Airlines heads into a possible showdown with its workers today, when a bankruptcy judge could rule on whether the feeder carrier for Northwest Airlines can reject its union contracts.
The unions have warned they'll strike ......
At Muskegon County Airport, Mesaba's Northwest Airlink service carried 67 percent of the passengers that went through the airport in the first quarter of this year. Besides Northwest Airlink's three round-trip flights to Detroit, the only other commercial airline in Muskegon is the commuter service of Midwest Airline to Milwaukee.

The liberal dumbdown continues!

Title IX shouldn't be used as an academic weapon: "But they are conducting a review of math, physics and engineering programs at selected universities to root out supposed bias against women and girls. Their weapon is Title IX, which 'is not just related to sports,' says Stephanie Monroe, assistant secretary of Education for civil rights. 'We're in the process right now of putting together our dockets.' She assures us that these Title IX reviews are just business as usual for her department. "
If the Education Department and National Science Foundation were strictly to impose Title IX compliance standards on academic science, we could see men's participation in math, physics, technology and engineering capped at the level of female interest. That would wreak havoc in fields that drive the economy and where the USA already lags other countries.
And our nation snoozes on....

When "effort" equals failure

Superintendent honored for diversity effort: "Schulze, who is retiring at the end of June after 14 years as superintendent, has seen African-Americans become a majority of the student body at Muskegon and has strived to promote minority employees.
He also has implemented a 'Changing the Odds' initiative to address achievement of students of color.
Schulze said he is 'very honored' and 'very pleased' by the establishment of the fund.
'I think (diversity) remains the main issue that our society has still yet to come to grips with in any significant way,' Schulze said. 'I think we've made steps forward but we've also taken steps backward.
'If there's any important thing I've done, it's certainly in that area (of diversity) ...
Well, his focus on diversity has resulted in an almost exact correlation with declining scores for his "diverse" students over the last 14 years. At least we're not honoring him for his success in educating our children. The emperor has no clothes and no one will stand up and tell the truth.
