Prosecuting the Death of a Good Illegal While Raiding the bad Illegals

Nancy Pelosi’s statements follow the “good vs. bad immigrant” discourse. Undocumented immigrants may not get that path to citizenship which according to some they never deserved anyway because they are “illegal”.
This same story played out yesterday in opening statements in a trial against a border patrol agent in Arizona accused of shooting and killing an immigrant. Meanwhile in parts of California ICE targeted the “worst” of immigrants, gang members.

23 Oct 2008I definitly enjoy imagining this one:
NOTORIOUS Irish skirt-chaser Colin Farrell stripped down to his birthday suit to dance for mega-babe Sala Hayek – to settle her nerves about appearing nude in a flick.
Hayek was worred about losing her clothes in the 2006 film Ask The Dust.
…
“And I wasn’t dating her – we were working together. We were doing a scene where she had to be naked, so I thought, ‘I want to be naked’.”
I want to be naked with Colin and Salma, too!

Thought Things Were Settling Down?

Well, prepare to huddle back into your fetus position. Economic (supposed) guru wizard, Alan Greenspan just gave testimony in front of Congress about the state of the economy. His news is, of course, terrifying.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Thursday the current financial crisis is a “once-in-a-century credit tsunami” which will have a severe impact on the U.S. economy, driving unemployment higher.
Greenspan, who headed the nation’s central bank for 18½ years, said that he and others who believed lending institutions would do a good job of protecting their shareholders are in a “state of shocked disbelief.”
He said that the current crisis had “turned out to be much broader than anything that I could have imagined.”
I’d offer you one of my thumbs to suck on while in your fetal position, but I need it myself.

23 Oct 2008As promised, here’s the next episode of a Voto Latino‘s novela, La Pasión de la Decisión The theme is: no sex until you are registered to vote. My theme is, no sex until you do something beyond voting (this may explain my lack of sex).
Nancy Pelosi Proves that Dems Aren’t Immigrant Friendly Either

Still think that electoral politics is going to solve the immigration issue? Or that being a Democrat means a magic answer to save Latinos once we, as a sleeping giant that everyone keeps talking about, vote? Gracias to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is keeping it real by stepping away from offering a path to citizenship to immigrants.
…Pelosi also said Congress would have to tackle the politically sticky job of overhauling immigration laws in the new Congress, after a bipartisan measure collapsed last year.The estimated 12 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally “are part of the U.S. economy. We cannot send them all home, and we cannot send them all to jail, so we have to address it,” Pelosi said.
Any solution would have to be bipartisan, she said, so it may require sacrificing some of Democrats’ past priorities, such as giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
“Maybe there never is a path to citizenship if you came here illegally,” Pelosi said. “I would hope that there could be, but maybe there isn’t.”

Daddy Yankee isn’t finished horrifying Ricans and Latinos in general.
Thankfully next month he steps away from politics and into the realm of the fluffy again when he launches a cologne. For $39 (small bottle) and $49 (big bottle) you can smell like a strange pesto spilled on your shows it seems as the main aromas in the scent include apple peel, ginger, cedar leaves, sage, basil, amber, and suede. Mmmm sexy.
