#1 In other Border News. Hugh Hewitt is breaking a story about the Colorado Gov race. The DNC candidate, Ritter used to be a DA and evidently allowed immigrants (both illegal and legal) to plea assualt charges and other felonies down to an arcarne charge of tresspassing on Denver agricultural lands - one of the few charges on the books that doesn't necessitate deportation. Hugh recommends checking the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post for the story - which I did - finding that the papers had already endorsed Ritter and covered the story in a way that downplayed the deportation angle.

#2 I did find this story as well:NORAD scrambles fighters to intercept Russian bombers. I don't know enough about the AF to know whether this is a common occurence.

#5 Is there no end to the $hit these people worry about? Or is it that they have some political agenda and they are trying to use bugs to stop the fence? Don't forget about the one very important critter this fence is supposed to control. What some people worry about never ceases to amaze me. I wonder what it would be like to walk around in the daze these people must live in. Or maybe they think everyone else is even more stupid than they are. Bright lights interfering with birds being able to fly at night. Does it get any dumber? Is this article for real? The only wild turkey I'd miss has a label on it. Jaguars? only if they have 12 cylinders will I even care. The insects will just have to settle for pollinating the cactii during the day I guess. Turtles are too slow to make it across without getting baked. The roadrunners can grow wings for all I care. Or if it is so important they can cut little holes in the fence so they can get in line with the snakes and dash across the border to take advantage of the better economic situation here. Next thing you know they're going to start worrying about the human rights of illegals and terrorists. Perhaps Radke's supply of cheap labor will dry up or something horrible like that. Duh.

#6 When I lived in Colorado Springs Super Hose NORAD was always scrambling after Russian bombers and they usually didn't tell us first that they were coming, I guess because we are at war Russia wanted to make sure this time we did not get jumpy.

#7 Radke explained that the jaguars are coming north because their habitats are filling up in Mexico. "If we cut off that access they are going to be restricted to areas where they are going to be in conflict with their own populations, it would have a negative impact,"

Certainly not for us.

#10 Who cares about Jaguar anyway? Ford pretty much ruined the brand.

Oh, never mind.

#14 make that ha, ha. Good catch.

You just have to wonder why they don't want a fence and why they want illegals to be forced through a border where they are robbed, raped and taken advantage of. Then they get here and are forced into a shadow existence. What is wrong with these people who can't grasp that this situation only benefits the large corporations that they claim to be against?? We, the people, subsidize their "cheap labor" with our tax dollars.

You have to tear the country down completely before you can rebuild it in your image.

You're talking about the post-Nations EU, aren't you? Oh, my mistake.

#17 they assume:
1) they can get the illegals to vote Donk as part of their appeal to chauvinist latinos.
2) the unions have turned from opposing the down-pressure on their member's wages to assuming that these illegals will be SEIU and UFW potential members, thereby retaining overall union strength at the expense of their white industrial/factory base

#18 The only animals the Dems are concerned about are coyotes. The fence could disrupt their everincreasing supply of absentee voters.

#19 #1 The DNC candidate, Ritter used to be a DA and evidently allowed immigrants (both illegal and legal) to plea assault charges and other felonies down to an arcane charge of trespassing on Denver agricultural lands Anyone else wondering just how much land in Denver County is considered agriculture land? Ten farms with a total of 40 acres. Here's a table. We know of at least 192 felonies that were plea bargained to this non-deportable offense. I wonder if all of them trespassed on the same farm or if they spread it around the ten farms. Or more likely, that none of the 192 felons even stepped foot on agriculture land in Denver County.

#20 Just to remind everybody New Mexico will issue its drivers license to an illegal immigrant as long as he presents some kind of ID.

#21 GK, the take of the Rocky Mountain Times is that all DA's use plea bargains in 95% of cases. They totally ignore the who felons pleading to one of the few misdemenor charges that won't result in deportation. The charge is so arcane that the DA would have had to have picked the charge on purpose. It will take national news to do something with this, as both Denver papers have endorsed Ritter. Maybe Fox News will take an interest.

#22 I got an email from the RNC yesterday accusing Bill Ritter of killing a man in Zambia in 1988 in a motor vehicle accident that was later hushed up. Sounds like a typical donk to me...

#23 I heard on laura Ingraham that major corporations have been donating to immigrant groups and legal funds. Among them, Coke, Pepsi, and Miller Brewing.
There is currently a boycot against Miller. She asked the company spokesman about it and he struck out. Really, his answer was like Miller has always been a beer company.
Yo, Miller, contributing to the Minuteman fence project may help you out of that hole.

#24 dang. Coke & Pepsi!! What about Koolaid. Can I drink Koolaid? This whole boycott thing is getting to be a pain.
