Immigration? Let us consult the Constitution.

So long as profit prevails over decent wages and lazy-ass Americans refuse to do the "dirty jobs", there has to be a steady stream of SOMEONE to clean toilets and pick strawberries. (Some blowhard on NPR claimed that immigration hurts low-skilled American workers, especially those without high school diplomas. Hello! Lazy, not low-skilled!)

So long as they aren't criminals, and they pay taxes (and if the company they work for isn't breaking the law, they DO pay taxes), I'll take that over paying $10 a quart for strawberries.

I caught a little bit from Mind of Mencia that sums it up pretty nicely: Carlos Mencia said, "yeah, let's kick ALL the immigrants out. Everybody out. Because nothing would be sweeter to my ears in the morning than hearing [knocking] [Texas accent] 'Hey, housekeeping, y'all.'"

Also, Wal-Mart to offer organic produce? Isn't the whole point of organic the small, replenishable, profitable domestic farm? That article is scary. If there was ever a reason for us to buy a home, it's the advantage of growing our own vegetables. Eek.

This is why I should not listen to NPR. I hate fair and balanced asshattery. :|

Last night's The Colbert Report totally rocked. He totally pwned Mike Brown. What a whiny, blame-deflecting asshat (Mike Brown, not Stephen).

So what do you all think?

The Mike Brown on Colbert snippet from "The Motherload" was hillarious. It was obvious that Brown wouldn't take any blame, and he should be man enough to do so. The Margharita bit was especially funny.
