...They're just here Illegally! At least, that's what Immigration Service spokesman Martin Bruinsma had to say about the new Detention Centers that the Netherlands has just brought online.
A crackdown on immigration in the Netherlands began after 2002 elections in which the anti-immigration party of the late politician Pim Fortuyn won more than 10 percent of the national vote.
Yeah okay, so GOBA was over a week ago, but it's taken me another week just to get caught up. That's what I hate about vacations.
Simon Houpt in the Globe and Mail:
Bloody? Tragic? Shocking?
No. No. No.
Entirely predictable, as the direct result of poor leadership and leftist ideology run amok?
Yes.
I've toyed with the idea of going to Vegas for a long time. Now here comes another reason: this August, the planet Mars is going to be closer and brighter than ever before in human history.
Yeah okay, so what does this have to do with Vegas? Only that the area all around Vegas is a big stupdendous desert, and deserts make prime viewing areas for the night sky. A one hour drive should take me plenty far enough away from the bright lights of the sin city.
At least, I hope so.
My site is now updating weblogs.com every time I post. Okay, so this turned out to be trivial and I should have turned it on months ago, but I can't be a genius all the time, can I?
Let's face it, McGoofy Group was never the same after Jack & Pat left. (Well okay, they were both left all along. It just took a while for the truth to become clear in Pat's case.)
Back in those days, when I was but a young lad, I used to wonder how Jack could spout all that crazy leftist blather about economics, and really believe that any of it was true.
My wondering days are now over: Jack doesn't understand math! The sudden realization hit me while listening to the radio. I happened upon this snippet of Morning Edition on NPR, in which Jack talked about his obsession with horse racing.
From the website: "He has been going to places like [Charlestown Races and Slots in Charlestown, West Virginia] for more than 40 years. Horseplayers around the country share Germond's hobby nearly every day. These are people who don't need an attempt at the Triple Crown to find passion at the track."
Passion and penury, I'm sure. Jack ends his segment with a comment about how he hopes to "finally figure out this business and win a big jackpot."
Well Jack, I'm not one to brag, but I figured out "the business" years ago and it works something like this: The only person who gets rich at the racetrack is the bookie.
