We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]
Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wa., spoke eloquently about the students who have lived here most of their lives, finish high school with an excellent grade point average, but cant attend college to continue their education because they dont have a green card. On the other side, Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Az., and Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., spoke against the bill. They argued that the passage of S.1291 would give more incentives to immigrants to come to this country illegally. They also emphasized in their arguments that the bill would reward lawbreakers who have come to this country undocumented and then remained here without changing their status.
Shaking my head on this one. What part of illegal do some people NOT get?
MORNING EVERYONE!! I called Dad last night to remind him of the meteor shower...now it seems as if I wasted my time!
Heard about James Coburn dying. I never thought much about him one way or the other until recently. Another familar face missing.
Speaking of missing faces, prayers to all of our freeper friends missing in action. And Deej, I wasn't able to post yesterday when we heard the sad news. Many prayers and hugs go with you on your journey in Atlanta.
Raven, so sorry to hear of your loss. But it seems as if sunshine has dawned brightly. What an adventure to build a new house! Will it be done for Christmas? (((smiles)))
Mr. Mulliner, I think of you often for lots of reasons but especially since I envision you in class!
janey, a Guennie is certainly in order. Guess there's no new news?
The continuation of blaming whites for everything. She believes there are injustices everywhere...move on..get over it..and learn from your experiences.
My question is who is he? I've seen his face, but don't remember from what?
He was the dreamy TV version of Superman :)
It was called Lois & Clark.....oh my goodness, he's still got it, LOL!
Morning Bit! How are things in PA?
However, I'm here now and want to make the most of my teaching day. Today our Reading class assignment is a C. S. Lewis graduation speech called "The Inner Ring." I look forward to it, but it's a test for me to make the adjustments that I think the students are expecting out of me today.
Thanks for your encouragement. I'll need lots of that to decide to keep this job and keep commuting.
I hear you had a nice week-end too.
Mail call in a minute.
oh my goodness, he's still got it, LOL!
I noticed THAT...right away. LOL
Here he is with his wife country music singer Mindy McCready.
Thursday we're doing Clarence Thomas's speech from when he received some award and I gave it the title Courage and Civil Society. I think it's a good antidote to whiny liberalism.
I couldn't find a good 3rd piece for this week so on Friday I'll give a mid-term exam since it's the last day before our one-week Thanksgiving break.
