BE HERE, OR BE NOWHERE!

[Tarkus2040]

Are you getting anything on the KNEW stream, Rock? It's playing, but I hear nothing.

[period end of story]

If you look at Zogby's numbers, Mikey 's right about them, they're skewed to the left.

Most definitely.

but I hear nothing.

Don't worry; Mikey's mailing this one in tonight. Whenever he has a guest on it brings the show to a screeching halt. Bad week for talk radio; nothing but Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, and revisiting everything he's ever said.

He's still talking about this one.

Haggard claims be bought the meth but didn't use it. It almost smells like Clinton's excuse about the marijuana.

"When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it. I didn't inhale and never tried it again." –Bill Clinton

Oakland’s Bilingualism - No Americans Need Apply

On Tuesday, April 24, the Oakland City Council passed a law which will require the city to fill openings in certain designated job categories (e.g. librarians, building inspectors, etc.) with workers who are bilingual in either Chinese (specifically Cantonese) or Spanish. Council member Ignacio de la Fuente, one of the two sponsors of the measure, was interviewed on NPR's "All Things Considered" on Tuesday, and made a number of interesting remarks.

This morning, Oakland mayor Jerry Brown was interviewed on KGO radio in San Francisco. Actually, I used to be something of an admirer of his, as he has usually been much less corrupt than most politicians, but he seems to be going off the deep end these days. He had already made a fool of himself yesterday on Fox Cable News, saying "Don't worry, we won't be hiring people who know only Spanish or Chinese," which of course was never the issue. But today what Brown said was more interesting, though no less objectionable in my view.

Interestingly, Brown related the "need" for "equal access" bilingual service to the H-1B program! He spoke of the "global economy," and how much we "need" the H-1Bs (this was right after he mentioned a big plan to make Oakland a high-tech center). He said, "Go to any Silicon Valley company, and you'll see them speaking Chinese, speaking various Indian languages. Go to the computer center at UC Berkeley and you'll see the same thing. We are benefiting from importing high-tech people."

Of course, I disagree with his view of the "need" for H-1Bs. But what he said next took me aback, because he tried to connect this issue to the bilingual-services issue:

He said that once the H-1Bs become immigrants, they bring their elderly parents to the U.S. The latter don't know English, and according to Brown, can't learn English. (My personal experience as an ESL teacher in San Francisco Chinatown says otherwise.) He went on about this at some length, about the need for elderly Chinese women to be able to complain about neighbors dumping illegal garbage. In other words, according to Brown, this new law is basically motivated by the "need" to provide "equal access" for government service to parents of immigrant programmers and engineers!

[KeyLargo]

LOL. Cool!

[KeyLargo]

I like the pictures. It looks like a cozy place to have some drinks and enjoy the food.

[KeyLargo]

Yeah, I think he is a South Park nutball.

That list has been posted every day, and a point-by-point rebuttal has been posted.

That's why he keeps puttin it on a new thread every day.
