thanks for the reality check on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1627102/posts , anyone could have read that article, even though it is headlined as "Sim-news" and believe it all to be true. laugh, because there were some other real investigative reports that documented some of satires;
-Democrats are fishing for illegal voters
-Most weren't even aware there was a boycott on May 1st
-People appreciated the lighter traffic on May 1st
-Drug cartels didn't recognize the boycott
-Aztlan movement called to be recognized at sporting events with their anthem played along with the spangled banner
so actually these aren't that far fetched, even for the sporting event joke, the San Diego Padres did, (or maybe still do), fly the Mexican Flag next to the Stars and Stripes !!!
I have yet to see a voter reform bill that was not opposed by democrats. Any attempt to have people prove their identity when registering to vote meets with their disapproval.
The one tip off to that article being satire that I noticed was the name Howie Connum (How we con 'em).
