THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

His fifth grade class, which meets for the first time on Monday, will have thirty pupils. That’s eight more than his fourth grade class had. Seems the public school system has no maximum size requirements for fifth grade. Getting them ready for the crowded classrooms of middle school, I’d bet. The school principal says she’s [...]

An activist group for German-Americans, eerily reminiscent of Aryan Nazi racism. How about an Armenian Studies Program at a major university? Or a “wise Pakistani” on the Supreme Court? Yet few seem to question The National Council of La Raza, the Chicano Studies Program, or the “wise Latina” —all eligible for Affirmative Action originally intended [...]

The latest telephone poll taken by the Arizona Governor’s office asked whether people who live in Arizona think illegal immigration is a serious problem? 29% responded, “Yes, it is a serious problem.” 71% responded, “No es una problema seriosa” Meanwhile, Obamalot is assiduously guarding the northern border. Figures.

BLITZER:  Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants? CALDERON:  Of course! Of course! BLITZER: If somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico and they wind up in Mexico, they can going get a job? CALDERON:  No, [...]

Of all the city council’s silliness over the years, its new boycott of Arizona over illegal immigration takes the booby prize. The funniest part, though, is the boos so far outnumber the yays in the letters-to-the-editor at the daily: “In a town as reliably liberal as Austin, wouldn’t one assume that a few would stand [...]

Blogger John Salmon and I are continuing our argument (when he’s not trying to change the subject to the “awful” Mexican War) about his favoring leaving the Southern border open and amnesty for all comers and, by-the-by, calling me and others who disagree with him racists. One of his arguments against the new Arizona immigration [...]

I’ve always enjoyed reading/listening to Mickey Kaus, formerly of Slate’s Kausfiles. Now I wish I could vote for him for Congress. Although to do it I would have to live in California. Uh, uh. He doesn’t have anything against his incumbent opponent, Barbara Boxer, other than that she’s in bed with the unions and all for [...]

Tired of illegal immigration from Mexico? Then you might start lobbying your Congressrat to do away with the ethanol scam. It’s enriching Iowa farmers (especially agribusiness), sure, but it’s adding to the impoverishment of the Mexican poor. When they’ve had enough, guess where they’ll set out for? Instead, we could push our pols to do [...]

On the way home from the Scrapper’s game last night, Mr. Boy and I stopped at Wendy’s for takeout suppers. When we left he said he’d decided to rate the food a hundred percent, but the service just twenty percent. His second grade class is doing the light fantastic over the business economy this week, [...]
