PT's Randomness

    So the word on the street is that Sen. Bond crossed over to the dark side in voting to move the Immigration Bill forward in the Senate. I would beg to differ on that one. I think he made a wise choice voting to move the bill forward in exchange for a promise that his amendment to the bill would be voted on later on. Why waste any more time stalling this bill? Just move the thing forward to the next stage where amendments to the bill will be voted on. The American people don't want this bill. I heard a Gallup Poll said something like 3% of Americans favor this thing, that's not even the 14% that still believe in our Congress.

    I cause I spoke too soon when I welcomed common sense to the party over on Randomness Without Ritalin. The Georgia Attorney General, Thurbert Baker, has said that he will appeal the decision. Who does Thurbert Baker think he is? I seriously doubt that the people of Georgia wanted their money spent prosecuting Genarlow Wilson in the first place. How do stupid prosecutors like this guy and Johnny Sutton look at themselves in the mirror each morning? I am sure they laugh all the way to the bank where they deposit your money. Talk about a great rate of return.

    Mexico continued its winning streak in U.S. courts with the conviction of Gilmer Hernandez back in December. Monday, Hernandez, a Sheriff's Deputy, was sentenced to a year and a day in jail andwas also ordered to pay $5,347 to the "victim" and a $5,000 fine. His crime? Shooting at the tires of a Suburban carrying illegals immigrants after the vehicle had tried to hit him during a traffic stop. An initial investigation cleared the deputy, but the Federal Government opened another investigation after talking to the illegals in the van, according to the Washington Times. The Federal Government had recommended a seven-year sentence for Hernandez, who leaves a wife and seven-month old daughter at home.

Hernandez stopped the vehicle after it ran a red light on the night of April 14, 2005. When he went to question the driver, he noticed that the passengers in the vehicle were crouched down. He then asked for identification and the vehicle took off, swerving towards him as it fled. He drew his firearm and shot 2 times at each rear tire. Further down the road, when the Suburban crashed, 8 or 9 illegals fled. The "victim" was found crouched in the back cargo area of the vehicle. A fragment from either the bullet or the vehicle had clipped her lip and broke two teeth. Gilmer Hernandez was convicted of violating her civil rights by "recklessly" shooting at the vehicle. The woman reported that she paid about $2,000 to be smuggled in in that Suburban.

Jeez, just think when all the illegals figure out they can turn jumping the border into a profitable venture.

    Seriously, who let the middle school student government put up bills at the state level? Anti-bullying bills in the House AND Senate?

    I was going through old posts and figured I should post about what I am reading now

Excavation by James Rollins

--The ""Cloud People" of Peru have been in the news lately (go here if you didn't know that). James Rollins wrote a book about them in 2000. It's a good read

Tyranny of Tolerance by Robert Dierker

--A darn good read. I didn't realize how nuts some judges were. Read the chapter on abortion and justify to me why something that heinous isn't considered murder.

    This post from the Power Line blog strikes me as quite funny. The new president of William and Mary college has decided to take down the cross on the altar in the campus chapel. Apparently, when people used the chapel they had the option to take the cross down and 15-20% of wedding were doing that. I don't even understand why you would have a wedding in a chapel if you had a problem with the cross. A wedding is for your marriage in the "eyes of god" as far as I understand it, if you didn't like the cross, go to the courthouse to get hitched. But seriously, who ever heard of a chapel without a cross? Isn't a chapel without a cross on par with a VFW hall or a ballroom in a hotel?
