Going Arizona One Better on Illegals

Chip him, Dan-O. Trespassing One.

That's the immigration control solution of a guy actually running for congress in these parts.

Pat says what works for keeping track of his dog ought to be excellent for keeping tabs on illegals.

The Hell of it is, he probably isn't the Republican who will finish last in the primary. Worse, there's probably no way we can revoke his license to reproduce.

Reloading note

No matter how cheap they are, resist the impulse to acquire any GI .30-06 brass made in Denver in 1942 (Den 42) . I have fought government primer crimps and tight pockets for years, usually with enough success to create good loads with only moderate effort using a simple reamer with a radius grind.

No so this stuff. An hour of trying put me in a foul mood for most of the afternoon, and I finally dumped about 300 of them in a low spot I'm trying to fill over by the maple trees. It's almost as if they were re-specked with remarkably undersized pockets.

Also and more happily: It is very pleasant to run across four decks of large rifle primers you forgot you had.

Put the lawyers to work

I don't wants months of senators and other political creepy crawlies scoring points for the teevee audience off whatever it was that Goldman Sachs did.

I want prosecutors drafting criminal charges. I want a grand jury to indict for fraud if it sees fit. I want a trial. And then I want to see the guilty GS executives manufacturing gravel, one sledge swing at a time.

A bit of oversight responsibility is probably inherent in the legislative process, but a lot of justice has been buried under bullshit which is the sole ingredient in most congressional "hearings."

Dear President Obama,

I wonder, Sir, if you are attending to today's economic thermometer?

Our domestic stocks are tubing because, our experts report, the entire Ouzo production of Greece and all the of Portugal's best Madeira will not suffice to pay their kings' debts, and the folks who lent them money are getting more than a little (a) anxious to be repaid and (b) fricked if they'll ever loan money to one of them again.

If fact, lenders are starting to wonder about sovereign debt in general. That's, you know, like fronting cash money to nations.

Anyway, that just reminded me I just wanted to ask you to keep up a very good front in front of Chinese persons you happen to run across. I'd get pretty nervous out here if they decide to Greece us.

'course, I wouldn't dream of cramping your style by asking you to help make sure we start buying only what it can pay for. I mean health care and war and nations to build and like that.

Your Nervous Pal,

Jim

P.S. -- It is okay by me if you want to blame three or four of the guys who had the job before you for some of it.
