Well, truth be told, since I am 34, my memory of Rowan and Martin, as well as all those songs from the 50's and 60's is purely due to oldies FM stations and reruns...
But there are some days I feel like I belong at the Senior Center...

In his press conference on December 20th, President Obama urged the House of Representatives to support the Senate’s immigration bill, which passed 68-32 in late June. Among the concerns cited by Americans who oppose reform are that immigrants will take their jobs, drive down wages, increase criminal activity, burden the welfare system, and reshape the cultural dynamic of the country. These concerns are mostly ill-founded. The legitimate concerns have real solutions, and a more open immigration policy will be a net benefit for all Americans...
Highlights from Article:
- A 2013 study by the American Action Forum states that "immigration reform can raise population growth, labor force growth, and thus growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).”
- In 2013 the Bipartisan Policy Center came to similar conclusions. It makes the prediction that current provisions, as included in the Senate Bill, would raise GDP 4.8 percent over twenty years.
- According to the Immigration Policy Center, immigrant males between the ages of 18 and 39 (which constitute the greatest portion of the prison population) are five times less likely to be incarcerated than are natives.
- A 2011 survey by the Pew Research Center revealed that 92 percent of second generation and 96 percent of third generation Hispanics speak English proficiently.
- A 2010 Gallup poll revealed that Hispanics attend church services more often than non-Hispanic whites.
- Since an influx of immigrants means an expansion of the labor supply, many assert that the result will be less jobs and lower wages. However, as asserted by Jason Riley, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, “The number of jobs in the United States is not static. It’s fluid, which is how we want it to be.”

Bob, your writings are like Norwegian Wood.
I’m reading “Ben-Hur.” It was mentioned on a thread about weirdness in New Mexico. I’m surprised at how good it is - the prose isn’t nearly as turgid as one would expect for an 1870s historical potboiler. Perhaps Gen. Wallace had learned in the Army to express himself somewhat directly.
Would Love for You to Show Me What I’m Missing .... More Bob, More, Please!!!
Perhaps am being a bit too direct. Wow!!! The written word(s) and then comes the insatiable appetite.
Drinkin from a firehose, man.
