Third World sess Pool. Wow. That actually is very close to the truth right now. And it's happening at lightening speed.

Unfortunately I think a lot of people in this country might be missing the bigger picture with this bill in Arizona. I can't imagine for a second that they think it's going to hold up in federal court. You really have to think that this was done to open the eyes of the government who has been on and off the fence about this issue for years. Meanwhile, record numbers of illegals are crossing the borders everyday. As far as I can tell from all accounts, there hasn't been anyone just yanked off a street corner and forced to show proof of citizenship. At least not yet.

Something drastic has to happen about this issue. We are so quickly becoming a country that doesn't want to "inconvenience" anyone at the sake of their safety and protection.

Campbell - The world would be a boring place! =)

Immigration really is a complicated issue. And what bugs me is so many people are reacting to this bill (or the issue in general) without thinking.

I've seen some people compare this to Nazi Germany, which is just absurd...nothing Hitler ever did was based on the concept of "reasonable suspicion" like this bill is (just like so many other laws not at all related to immigration).

It also bugs me when people defend illegal immigration by saying the US was built on immigration. Illegal immigration and immigration are two completely different things, and you can't use one to defend/rationalize the other. Maybe immigration restrictions need to be loosened, but painting a picture that Arizona hates all immigrants isn't the way to do that.

I've seen some proposed solutions to the immigration problem that are about as far to the left politically as this Arizona bill is to the extreme right. I don't think either extreme is the correct way to go, but as I said in my other post hopefully this will force the federal government to finally act on the issue.

She's also kinda cute, and my age! :-) She lives on the other side of the country, though...argh.

I have a busy day today so I don't know if I'll get to watch it until tomorrow, but we'll see.

Hi Everyone.

Earlier today, I went to Best Buy and picked up the Chickenfoot DVD. Woo-hoo! I'm excited about that.

DTS: Austin, the winning time was 15:34, which means I was 3 minutes and 7 seconds behind. 2nd place was 14 seconds behind. 3rd was about 2 minutes, and 4th-6th was three minutes.

Elpp: Jose, thanks for the praise on my running. Sooner or later, I'm going to get my VISA/Passport and I'm going to travel to places and do some running there. I would like to do a marathon in Mexico or somewhere in the Central America area sometime. Thanks again for your comment on the guitar bug. I've just been thinking about it.

Cappy Steve: Happy Star Wars day to you to.

Satriella: Thanks. I love to run because of the feeling, experience, and people cheering you on, especially in races.

DTS (again): Austin, I agree with you that immigration is a complicated issue. There's so many different laws and bills about it and I don't get into it.

Oxley11: Thanks for the links.

Joe: Thanks for the blue, we appreciate it. I agree with you on the sb 1070 bill. That is such a horrible thing. I hope you're doing well. Best to you.

Stopped at Best Buy right after work and picked up Godsmack & Chickenfoot.

Nice booklet with the CF - Get Your Buzz On dvd. Great pics of the guys! I'm going to throw it on at 5:00. It cost $11.99.

Godsmack - The Oracle is a cd/dvd set. Listened to the first 3 songs on the way home - killer!! It cost $14.99.

I'ma have a fun day off tomorrow! lol!

PHOENIX (AP) - Poison frontman Bret Michaels has been released from a Phoenix hospital and is expected to make a full recovery after suffering a brain hemorrhage last month.

The lead doctor treating Michaels said Tuesday that he recommends Michaels wait at least four to six weeks before resuming normal activity.

Dr. Joseph Zabramski of the Barrow Neurological Institute wouldn't say when Michaels was released or whether he was sent home or to a rehabilitation facility. Zabramski says the 47-year-old contestant on "The Celebrity Apprentice" is receiving therapy and continues to suffer as blood pooled under his brain dissolves.

Two tests showed that Michaels did not suffer an aneurism, so doctors are unsure what caused his hemorrhage.

All the drugs Cory Haim did in his lifetime, and he died of complications of pneumonia.

good tuesday to all! been a few days a lot to catch up on.

first off hope everyone is doing as good as we can. michelle the basement flood suuuuucks! just went through it with my sis. congrats on some more well run races glitz.

as for the arizona stuff, the issue is complicated. the problem really is the government. if they had a policy that made sense and was effective, it wouldn't be an issue. it's not that complicated. if the federal government did thier job arizona wouldn't have to go so far to get attention. which is all the new law is.

but i digress, i had some craaaazzzzy thought that the feds or any government for that matter would do something that made sense!!

Aww man, Get Your Buzz On ROCKS!!

WOWEEWOOWOO!!

Still watching. LTF is on now.

Michelle - what's been your favorite part of the show so far?

Joe - So now that you're headed back into studio to do a solo album, are you going back to Peavey for this release or are you going to stick with the Marshall's? Where is Galen going to be for this one? Is he enjoying the new married life?

That pesky Iclandic volcano is back! ...more flights grounded and chaos to come
