Joke of the Day

Mexico says it may go to the United Nations to challenge US plans to build 700 hundred of miles of fences on its southern border.

Not that the fences are going to do any real good, anyhow. Unless you plant machine gun nests every two hundred yards and lace the riverbanks with mines, they're simply going to climb over the fences.

This whole situation has taken a turn into bizarro-land. Fox is acting like he's contracted mad cow disease, and Bush is trying to distance himself from the illegal immigration issue like a man running from hornets. The entire situation has the everyday working man standing back and shaking his head in confusion, because the solution is so obvious, but no one will implement it: enforce the immigration laws.

Hell, if anyone has a greivance to take to the United Nations, it's the United States. We are the country being invaded, not Mexico. Forty years ago, when the United Nations was still a nominally functional and useful entity, that is probably what would have happened. Now the entire Assembly listens to a failed Presidential candidate hawk his latest psuedo-science book to them while the Secretary-General picks wax out of his ears. The entire organization has descended into self-parody.
