Let her stay

Maybe it’s the Sicilian (we are big into family) in me but I think it’s tacky that there are still deportation hearings on the president’s aunt.

Cripes if a local cop and fix a ticket for a friend the president should be able to let his aunt stay, there have to be some privileges for the office.

If it was before he was elected that would be one thing but I think it’s tacky for the president’s aunt to be kicked out.

All of that being said the president should pardon the aunt and be done with it, but if the lawyer for the president’s aunt filed a motion to delay proceedings until after he leaves office I wouldn’t have an issue with it…

…after all why should she escape the miserable condition that her nephew will leave the country in?

My mother did that once…

…running into a burning building to try to save a neighbor. She ended up missing him but only a foot or two and ended up with lung damage, however it is a proud story and it is no less proud now that she is 84.

I suspect if she acted in the way the police did here she would have 40 years of guilt instead.

There is nothing sadder than watching one of the father’s of all cultures commit suicide.

… don’t worry. In my opinion people who are going to be hit by this are the same people who will be hit by a dozen other virus due to unsafe practices.

The thing to do is not to worry on one day of the year, it is to be careful on the net as a normal way of acting and then the “big virus release day” will be just another day.

So don’t open unsolicited e-mails, ignore items that are forwarded a million times, beware of stuff like limewire and don’t be sharing files or passing around stuff, and be careful on the net where you surf.

The basic stuff hasn’t changed it just is stuff that people don’t want to do.

Apparently former speaker Newt Gingrich will convert to Catholicism during holy week. A very good move in my opinion of course but I would stress what I’ve always said the reason to become Catholic is because it’s true.

The Huffington Post being the Huffington post makes fun of the conversion and the forgiveness of sins. That’s fine, forgiveness? People need it, we do it. If you guys are interested in it give the church a call. If you are willing to come we are willing to forgive, that’s part of God’s modus operandi.
