this article by David Frum shows that one some issues he still gets it.

The Peace process is long on process and short on peace, we are best to stay out of it, why? Because there will be no peace until the Arabs decide that they no longer want to kill rocket or blow up Jews. As soon as that happens peace will take place. Until then it all you have are various pols trying to make themselves look good.

Just called in my unemployment and was informed I had no more weeks left. This seems to contradict what I was told back in January. Monday I will be running to the unemployment office to find out for sure. If this turns out to be correct then to say I’m in huge trouble is an understatement. I’ll cut what I can from the budget (there isn’t much left to cut) but from this point we start burning savings and selling off stuff.

The examiner gig so far has paid about $30 a week based on hits. That leaves $510 weekly to try to make up for Unemployment or $770 to make up from my old pay.

I’ll of course keep up my various plans that I’m trying to put into place but unless anyone is dying to hire a blogger/writer at once it’s pretty much going to be come hermit time or massive telethon time a-la Andrew Sullivan before he got his Atlantic gig. And of course anything I can grab I will but I don’t know how much George Bailey I have in me.

Joya was the only person who made the argument concerning escaping the violence in Mexico which I think is the best argument the open borders people have (choice between getting shot by drug cartels or breaking immigration law is no choice at all)

Her history in central and South America is iffy. She should read Gulag. Like most of the protests she was very ignorant of the actual Arizona law. Unlike the others she was the only one to suggest actually raising the legal quota.

I’m really surprised that she has been going to Mexico City regularly. I sure hope she stays safe when she travels there.

My review of The Book of Basketball: The NBA according to the Sports Guy by Bill Simmons is available at Amazon.com here.

This is what you would call a guy book without a question, and it is not politically correct in the least.
