Let’s Have A Contest

I’m certainly no fan of Gonzales, but this is pretty funny. But we can all play this game. What other amendments could we add to this resolution?

  • The Congress expresses no confidence in the ability of Speaker Pelosi to conduct negotiations with the enemy.
  • The Congress expresses no confidence in the ability of Congressman Murtha to plan troop redeployment strategy.
  • The Congress expresses no confidence in the ability of the Congress to micromanage a war, particularly without doing it in such a way as to give hope to the enemy.
  • The Congress expresses no confidence in the ability of the Congress to write legislation that will effectively secure the borders.
  • The Congress expresses no confidence in the ability of Congress to competently stipulate the optimal efficiency of clothes washers, or toilet tank size, or the correct national speed limit, or average fuel efficiency for automobiles.
  • The Congress expresses no confidence in the ability of the Congress to know what the single correct “minimum wage” should be to apply to all fifty states, both rural and city.
  • The Congress expresses no confidence in the ability of the Congress to even know what the content is of the legislation that it passes.

So easy, a caveman can do it! Errrr…unless the caveman is a Congressman…

The Absurdity Of The Immigration “Compromise”

Like abortion, I’m one of those folks who don’t have strong opinions/feelings about immigration, but I think that Mark Steyn makes a great point here:

Is that This-background-check-will-self-destruct-in-24-hours clause for real? If the entire “undocumented” population of, say, Falls Church, Virginia wanders into the local immigration office at 4pm on Monday, the clerks have got till 5pm on Tuesday to find anything on the guys or they’ve got no choice but to issue the Z visa? For the agency that takes the best part of a decade to process nanny applications and which sent Mohammed Atta his visa six months after he’d died, this is, to say the least, a massive cultural change.

If the 24-hour dry-cleaner standard were to be mandated for every government agency, I might reconsider my position. But it seems curious, to put it at its mildest, that only the lucky members of the Undocumented-American community will get to enjoy the benefits of express service from the US government.

Regardless of one’s opinions on immigration, legal or otherwise, we should all be appalled at how such an important issue is being railroaded through the Congress with so little review, or time for it.
