A serious car accident and a clown that says nothing is going to happen to him because he is returning to “his country.”

Yes, this would probably make coming to America a bit less palatable.

Last year, 92 Congressmen sponsored a bill that would change the 14th Amendment so that children of illegal aliens born in the United States would not be granted citizenship. The bill is still in committee.

via Author of Arizona immigration law wants to end birthright citizenship.

She completely misses the boat on SB1070.

Mischaracterization of the law:  “The new Arizona law generally known as SB 1070 is considered the strictest anti-immigrant legislation in the country and is explicitly intended to drive undocumented immigrants out of the state. One reason it has instigated a boycott is because to a whole lot of people, myself included, it appears to not only invite but require the police to engage in racial profiling.”

Uhm, no that is not what it says.   The statute requires police not to engage in racial profiling.  Sandra paid for quite a bit of education, but she still does not comprehend what she reads.  I’d want my money back.  A bit about Sandra:

Sandra Soto, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies * Office: Tyndall 108 * Phone: 626-9150 * Email: sotos@email.arizona.edu * Office Hours: TBA

Sandra K. Soto is Director of Graduate Studies, Co-coordinator of the Chicana/Latina Studies Concentration, and affiliate faculty of English, Mexican American Studies, and Latin American Studies.

She holds a PhD in English from the University of Texas at Austin (with a focus in Ethnic and Third World Literature). Her interdisciplinary research agenda draws on Chicana/o and Latina/o literary and cultural studies, queer theory, and gender studies to offer innovative approaches to the overdetermined terrain of social relations, cultural representation, and knowledge production. Her book Reading Chican@ Like a Queer: The De-Mastery of Desire (University of Texas Press, 2010), replaces the race-based oppositional paradigm of Chicano literary studies with a less didactic, more flexible, framework geared for a queer analysis of the discursive relationship between racialization and sexuality. She is currently working on her second book tentatively titled Feeling Greater Mexico, which pursues unlikely connections between critical transnational studies and U.S. ethnic studies and focuses on the Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide. Her teaching interests include Chicana/o and Latina/o literary and cultural studies, feminist theories, transnational feminisms, critical race studies, US Third World Feminism, and queer theory.

Anyone out there know what queer theory is?  Gosh, I always found the Sandras y Panchos in my classes to be tiresome.  And you know, I am Hispanic.  I probably would have booed as well.  Graduation time is not about her nor her politics.  Someone should have told her that before she wrote her speech.

Shoot, not everyone can read so here it is on video Sandra.

Then again, Ann atleast apologized for her boo boo in recognizing the wrong grads.

ROFLMAO…

Jonah, re that story about the District of Columbia upgrading the quality and size of its free student condoms, I think this paragraph deserves to be chiseled on the tombstone of the Republic:

“If people get what they don’t want, they are just going to trash them,” said T. Squalls, 30, who attends the University of the District of Columbia. “So why not spend a few extra dollars and get what people want?”

The Hyacinth Girl responds:

Hey, T., why don’t you spend a few extra dollars and buy your own, jackass?

She has a point. Why should T Squalls, 30, bill DC taxpayers for his sex life? Thirty is so old you’re not even eligible for Obama’s child health-care coverage. Thirty is what less evolved societies used to call “early middle age”.

Why is (DC taxpayer) Jonah Goldberg buying condoms for 30-year old men he doesn’t know? Because that’s big government for you: You start a free-condom program for sexually active Fourth Graders, and next thing you know elderly swingers in the twelfth year of Social Construct Studies want in. The DC condompalooza is a perfect example of progressive thinking’s malign paradox: It both destroys childhood and infantilizes adulthood, leaving a big chunk of the populace in eternal adolescence.

Shamelessly taken from Frugal Cafe, because they have a great sense of humor in these dark times.

Well, not for me, for my daughter.  I hope you don’t mind, but today is her day.  I’ll be back in few days.  Whew, the guest speaker was NOT Al!  lol
