"Blue collar foreign laborers create white collar jobs. Without laborers you don't need managers."

Well, what kind of a day would it be without someone completely and unashamedly ignorant of basic Economics chiming in with his opinion.

Boy I've seen a lot of really dumb stuff posted here, but I've never seen anyone so proudly display their absolutely complete lack of anything remotely resembling either common sense or education in their tagline.

Hey, let's send some of these folks to your house! You'll have oodles of 'blue collar workers' at your beck and call. Before you know it, you could be a white collar manager.

Just think of the possibilities....

108 buses are being allowed into the Astrodome now and more volunteers are being requested. They're going to let some into the Reliant Center.

I spoke with News 2 (NBC click2houston.com) about an hour ago and they are putting together an effort beginning at 11AM broadcast Friday (today) to hook up evacuee families up that arrive at the Astrodome with families in the area who will take them in.

We had our name on craigslist but it does little good as families don't have access to this info. We called News 2 to ask them if there is a way to coordinate willing families with evacuees and she told me they just so happened to be preparing for this effort starting at 11 AM.

Can you imagine the scene in the parking lot when Texans fans start showing up for games at Reliant Stadium adjacent to the Asrodome? Think it'll put a damper on all the tailgaters?
On the other hand they may get some good experience "running the gauntlet."
