Making immigration a non-issue?

Well, this may be a sign of it.

If Taco Bell can take off down there, then we can probably solve illegal immigration in the same way that we took down the Soviet Empire: A tonof rampant capitalism and exportation of American pop culture.

Moose thinks he is a cow...

This is not a joke.

Well, they both make good eating. ;)

A great line...

Over at Flopping Aces, Wordsmith has provided us with an excellent line:

Do you see that bumpersticker that says "Department of Peace"? We have that dept. already. It's called "The Department of Defense".

Amen to that. People don't start fights when they think they're gonna get their asses kicked.

He asked for it...

Michael Vick's possible involvement in dogfighting (he is innocent until proven guilty) has led to a very nice response according to today's Rush and Malloy.

If you want one, head to vickdogchewtoy.com and get your order in before the lawyers put an end to the fun.

You Gotta be on Google

(to the tune of "You've Gotta be in the Guard" by Dos Gringos)

A long, long time ago
Before there was A-O-L
Nobody told a Microsofty
What he could not sell
He could integrate the browser
He could put icons in the toolbar
Now I know some things had to change
But we've gone to f***ing far!

Now you can't program this
You can't program that
Some f***ing lawyer just might get upset
And I just can't believe in this lurch
You gotta be on Google to do search!

They say that we've got talent
But judgement's what we lack
Like writing that Netscape memo
Well we won't take it back
Boies said he was offended
But that only made us smile
Because we knew deep down that he loved it
And he was only in denial!

Now I don't think it could get any worse
You can't update code and you can't search recurse
And I just can't believe in this lurch
You gotta be on Google to do search!

To do search.
To do search.
I just can't believe in this lurch
You gotta be on Google to do search!

Now this antitrust correctness it must come to an end
'Cause we're in the business of business, who gives a f*** if we offend
I can code bugs by the thousands but I can't upgrade Word
Now that's the dumbest f***ing thing that I have ever heard

Now I don't think it could get any worse
You can't update code and you can't search recurse
And I just can't believe in this lurch
You gotta be on Google to do search!

OK, this is a stretch...

It seems someone claims the Brits were worried we might fire off some nukes in the aftermath of 9/11.

Now, I do recall the weather forecasts that were posted in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. I guess that must have spooked some folks on the other side of the pond.

But they were jokes, for cryin' out loud!

A funny post...

Mary Katherine Ham and I do not see eye-to-eye on the immigration bill. That said, her cinematic moments post is pretty funny and well-done in technical sense.

That said, there's something that deserves comment. To quote the original Hotline report:

"I promised the President today that I wouldn't say anything bad about ... this piece of shit bill," he said, according to two attendees.

I don't know about anyone else, but I thought that promises were meant to be kept. Now, I know John Boehner is a politician, but shouldn't a promise to the President of the United States be worth more than what he called the bill?
