Paging Michael Moore...
Who’s feeding Cuba, you ask?
The US:
Cuba expects to sign deals worth $150 million with American food producers at talks starting on Monday that point to sustained U.S. interest in the Cuban market despite political hurdles.
...
One U.S. farm state delegation after another has gone to Havana this year to pitch sales of wheat, corn, beans, peas, lentils, chicken and other products needed by communist Cuba to feed its people.
...
U.S. sales to Cuba are allowed on a cash-only basis under an exception to the embargo enforced against Castro’s leftist government since 1962. Despite the hostility between Washington and Havana, [US] exports have totaled $1.55 billion since 2001.

No, I'm going to lie to you.
Of course I'll give you my honest opinion, right or wrong I always try to do that.
I think it will pass, at least in the Senate, but not exactly in its current form. There will be enough weasle worded amendments allowed for the shamnesty first crowd to continue spinning any objections as nothing but racism.
The real battle is in the House where it may never come to a vote. The only hope for passage there is to get enough of the MoveOn Dhimmicrats on board and their Union bosses won't let that happen so long as the guest worker provisions are still there (unless they build in something like mandatory union membership?) and if the guest worker program gets pulled the pro slavery business RINOs in the Senate will never agree to that in committee.
Bottom line, I don't think it will get out of the House or will go to committee in such a radically different form that it'll never get out of committee.
This fight could be a great launching point for a Thompson campaign. If he publicly went to the House members who have indicated interest in his campaign and was able to marshal them around the slogan of "border control first" he might really strike a spark with a lot of people. There are also a lot of non-hispanic immigrants who feel their communities are being raped by this bill as well. If he makes the notion of immigration fairness the theme he can successfully deflect charges of racism and would make a big dent in those communities, as well as in the black community, who are increasingly bitter about illegals coming here and taking "their benefits."
Woof Woof Blitz on cnn just announced that Mayor(I have 4 billion and you don't) Bloomberg is forcing the 13,000 yellow cabs in NYC to go green.
NYC will be buying 13,000 over sized golf carts to ferry NYC's executives and tourists around town with specially designed Charlie Brown/Linus blanketed wagons in tow for the luggage.
Exactly!
I have to say that no one with any intellect who listens to Richardson this morning would ever vote for him for anything, much less President.
Exactly my point. He's not appealing to anyone with any intellect. He's appealing the Dhimmicrats and MoveOn.ORG types.

Sunk by a bunch of Fairy’s... ;)
To answer your question Johnnie..even though you didn’t ask me...
I have my doubts about this passing..and I think that the GOP should not only fight for what they think is right...but they should also know that if it does “fail”..they can say it “failed” under the DEM majorites in the House and Senate...
soo...failure in this case, may be the best hope of the GOP...
Happy Memorial Day
On the Press
I thought body counts went out with the Vietnam War. The AP is kicking off Memorial Day weekend with a fresh body count in Iraq.

Indy Star hides the news
An illegal alien abducted a 7-year-old girl from her home in the middle of the night and so savagely raped her that she required surgery. The Indianapolis Star did not bother to mention his immigration status until the sixth paragraph.
Then came the seventh paragraph.
Castillo also has prior convictions for two felonies — theft and residential entry — as well as driving while intoxicated and domestic battery, records show.

How To Make Global Warming Alarmists Sound Sensible
Tim Blair has a great column in the Sunday Telegraph noting that global warming alarmists might actually sound reasonable if we could simply swap “terrorism” for “global warming.”

LOL!
Bahbah, I don't get your point here. I'm reading "bottom of the chart" to mean one of the worst. If that's correct are you saying that the Republican administration that preceeded Richardson's governership was bad? Or that Richardson has run the state into the ground really fast? Or am I missing the meaning of "bottom of the chart?"
Sounds more like your anti-business. But you do use the cliches very well.

Your’s is a silly, nonsequitur-bound {and probably libertarian-based} argument.

I suspect there are two things at work behind this. 1 Military, the other political.
On the Military front, there is this
14,000 increase in Iraqi Army since beginning of May

Bush calls next few months critical for strategy in Iraq
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1839120/posts
Iraqi Security Forces

The on the Political side, it is going to be pretty tough for Democrat Candidates to demagogue on how they are going to “fix Iraq” in 2008 if the troops are starting to coming home.
