I have a fantastic sense of humor, antceecee. You can ask anyone who knows me at all about that.....

I just haven't seen much that's funny on this thread.

I guess we'll just have to disagree on what is and isn't funny, eh?

(Do you think Monty Python is funny?? Can we agree on that? :)

[Serenissima Venezia]

(But the ones that are left just don't know when to quit. Employees of what agency?)

[Howlin]

Janet, what a surprise to find you here.

In all my time on FR, I've NEVER seen you on a live thread.

I guess you're here to disrupt, huh?

Aren't there enough immigration threads for you?

Or do you all intend to drag that stuff onto virtually every thread on FR?

[janetgreen]

Unlike you, I don't believe in idolatry.

idol·a·try
1 : the worship of a physical object or person as a god.

[ohioWfan]

Please accept my apology for coming across as nasty with you.

It was not my intent, and I'm sorry.

[JustPiper]

I'm 54 and I've seen two Great President's in my lifetime
Ike and Reagan, Bush had that potential until big business took over how the majority of American's feel, guess what though? I still support my President

[Borax Queen]

I haven't seen anyone lashing out and whining, but I guess it's all in perception.

[NathanR]

I feel your pain. The only time the 57 works is late at night and on weekends.

I often go that way during rush hour, but we take the back way, by streets.

[janetgreen]

Janet, what a surprise to find you here.

Ditto, howlin!

[JustPiper]

And THIS is why I am proud to call you my friend!

[SeaBiscuit]

Yes we are.. a novel thought; that the voice of the majority will be heard. We must make it so.

[Howlin]

I'm usually on ALL the live thread, Janet.

It's you who is so obvious today.

[eskimo]

We weren't discussing Roe vs Wade on this thread, Ohio. But then you already knew that...

But, distractions are all the silly political celebrity groupies have left.

From a Spiff post:

Worksite Arrests (immigration violators):

Clinton Presidency, first four years, :
1993 8,027
1994 7,630
1995 7,554
1996 10,014
--------------
Total 33,325

Best year was 1997 with 17,554 worksite arrests

Bush Presidency, first four years:
2001 735
2002 485
2003 445
2004 159
--------------
Total 1,824
Best year was 2001 with 735 worksite arrests

Heck, even in Clinton's worst year for it there were more worksite arrests than all of Bush's worksite arrests combined throughout his entire presidency.

Clinton's numbers weren't great, considering the size of the problem, but these numbers really lay bare Bush's absolute dereliction of duty.

[JustPiper]

This geezer is proud to be your ally!

[Serenissima Venezia]

Thanks for posting the speech, calcowgirl. I knew I'd be yelling at some inanimate object if I listened to it!

It's real important for the President to pay attention to people, what's on their mind, and that's what I'm here to do today.

Looks like he opted not to listen to any real people. The questions were obviously tailor-made and kissing butt.

[antceecee]

...spssst.... you're immigration blinders are in the mail... really helps to have them on these forums.

[janetgreen]

It's you who is so obvious today.

I'm happy to hear that. Hopefully those in Washington are reading FR today. Wouldn't that be great?
