“Saint” Tancredo’s Wall Spares Mexicans the Fiery Katrina

Tom Tancredo is being hailed as a saint for his visionary mercy when he created the wall that spared the lives of millions of Mexicans from the fiery Katrina that is engulfing much of their northern neighbor.

When asked about his being compared to Mother Teresa and James Lee Witt, Mister Tancredo, ever the shy cosmopolite, whisked it away with a gentle flick of his polished hand. "It is nothing any other shy cosmopolite would do."

•  Kind of tacky.

  Offensive, actually.

  IMHO.

•  As with NOLA after Katrina, most of the cleanup

  and construction labor that will take place in Southern California will be done by undocumented workers.

•  We need them to freeze instead

  Let me know if you need a link.

  But Salt Lake City (or so a survey said) has the best job market in the country.  The ski resorts around here are desperate for employees and will not ask too many questions about that social security card that you bought in Macarthur Park.
