We had to have our old leaky pipes replaced, opening up a wall in our entry hall, and yesterday the electrician found this gem from an old newspaper with no date on it, possibly 1935.

Government's Duty

On numerous occasions Mr. Roosevelt has said he wanted [illegible] "reform" and "recovery" intertwined in the accomplishments of his administration.

[paragraphs missing] ... After the NRA's [National Recovery Administration] decision, the question was whether the "new deal" would fold up, or find new methods of carrying on. It never has been Mr. Roosevelt's habit to surrender without a fight. He showed fight plainly in his famous press conference remarks about NRA and the constitution.

To say he was angry might be open to question, but certainly he was aroused, and the result was [illegible] he enlarged his program and ... demanded action on it...

Maybe Obama could take a page from history?

There are two recent articles on NJ GOP Lt. Gov Candidate and Monmouth County Sheriff Kim Guadagno's application for Monmouth County sheriff officers to be trained as ICE agents (so called 287g). No surprise that the weekly Examiner had a more reasonable headline than the Asbury Park Press (Gannett):

Examiner's: Opinions differ on need for immigration checks
APP: Monmouth jail got good deal on housing illegals

Even Guadagno's GOP running mate, Chris Christie has pointed out that "illegals" as a term is incorrect, as many people who are undocumented have over-stayed a visa, which is not a crime. Drivers who let their parking meter run out are not 'illegal drivers'.
