A friend will help you move, but a REAL friend will help you move bodies.

Ah spring, when love blooms, and unfortunately so does every damn plant in creation. Ivars shivers and coughs and sneezes piteously.

The dignitaries from 138 countries reflected the extraordinary mix of faiths and cultures that John Paul courted during his 26-year papacy: Orthodox bishops in long black robes, Jews in yarmulkes, Arabs in checkered head scarves, Central Asians in lambskin caps and Western political leaders in dark suits.

In a gesture the pope would certainly have applauded, Israeli President Moshe Katsav said he shook hands and chatted briefly with the leaders of his country's archenemies, Syria and Iran.

Obviously we CAN get beyond politics for at least 2.5 hours....

I really try to make myself look at issues from both liberal and conservative perspectives....which leads me up to the horrible situation with Terri Shaivo.

Pres. Shrub should not have intervened in this horrible family mess. That said, I don't understand liberals who will argue this point and decry the death penalty and call it "cruel and unusual punishment," but had no qualms about TerryShiavo being subjected through a long, gruesome death via starvation. They decry the government intervention into the case, yet yelled and screamed for government intervention in the case of convicted felon Rodney "Can we get along here? Can we all get along?" King.

Law enforcement officials have said they fear the project will lead to vigilante violence. Mexico’s foreign relations department also pledged in the days leading up to the civilian operation to pursue all legal and diplomatic means to stop the volunteers and ensure they do not violate the rights of Mexican citizens.

The volunteers may alert authorities when they see someone cross the border, but are not allowed to detain anyone. The immigrant who complained he was held illegally was later picked up by the Border Patrol, and remains in custody.


I guess what this means is that the Mexican authorities are going to pursue all legal and diplomatic means to stop the American citizens from guarding the border because of the failure of the US Government to protect the sovereignty of the US bordrs, and ensure that they do not violate the rights of Mexican citizens to illegally cross the border into the United States. Meanwhile, George Bush, Mexico's co-President stares into the TV lights like a deer startled by car headlights.

Of course then you have the dimwits who go around carrying placards saying, "NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL."

Mugger steals bag of dog feces

According to police, an early-evening mugging in San Diego turned out to be a real waste for the crook involved.

San Diego police spokesperson Dave Cohen said that on March 28, an unidentified male suspect approached a woman walking her dog and snatched a plastic bag she was holding.

The suspect reportedly stopped to check the bag and discovered that the bag contained animal waste.

The angry suspect threw the bag to the ground and demanded money from the woman. When she told him that she had none, he pointed his gun at the woman's dog, Cohen said.

The man then allegedly pulled the trigger, but the firearm failed to discharge. The suspect attempted to shoot the animal a second time, but the gun again failed to fire.

Cohen said the man then fled the scene in a waiting silver car.

The suspect is described as Latino, in his 20s, with a stocky build and about 5 feet 8 inches tall. Anyone with information should contact the San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000.
