FREE Campean & Ramos!

Let Our People Go! Save our Border Patrol AgentsThe word ‘scapegoats’ comes to mind when I think of our two Border Patrol agents rotting in prison for shooting ‘in the leg’ a fleeing Mexican drug dealer.

Frankly, I don’t see anything good happening.

What it does clarify even to the most deluded of us, is that ‘we’ — meaning our government — really don’t want our borders secure and that immigration policy is something we use to keep some folks out and let others sweep in.

I feel sorry for most sorry for the friends and families of former Border Patrol Agents Campean and Ramos. Free them now! Let them do their job.

Al Franken …. Senator? heh heh… okay… you got me on that one

Al Frankin ... given it to you 24-7They say in American anyone can be president… but can anyone be a U.S. Senator…. maybe. Well, we’ve got Barbara “never-saw-a-soldier-I-didn’t-hate” Boxer… so maybe Al Franken can make it.

However Al has a few explanations to make:

“I used to say I’d never run because I’d be a terrible officeholder,” Franken said. “Now I don’t want to say that, because it would look bad if I ever did run.”

I do worry about our country … too many ‘actors’ out there already. You know what I mean… say one thing and live another way. That — they say — is ‘politics.’ Actually, there are people who I admire who play this game… but they are few and it is far too easy to become tempted and corrupted.

Once apon a time, I ,too, put a very small toe in the water of politics ( at a much lower level) and came away learning a lot… it’s a tough game and I can’t help but wonder if Al Franken is tough enough? He can dish it out… but can he take it? Besides, I know what he is against… but what is he ‘for?’

P.S. 2008 is gearing up to be a fun election … oh yeaah, it goes without saying that Al Franken wins the coveted BIG WEENIE AWARD for doing little more than being himself.
