Monday's Musings

The United States spends $51M to fly illegals back to Mexico. All of this money and they still will not use an American carrier.

R.I.P. Isaac Hayes. Man, the musical world will not be the same without you. Also, R.I.P to Bernie Mac. You represented Chicago well. This one really hurts. The world and the 'hood just lost one of its favorite funny men.

OPEC income hits record. Who would've guessed???

China overcomes the U.S. as the world's largest manufacturer. Given our obsession with outsourcing American jobs, this comes as no surprise. We're becoming a consumer nation that produces little.

Thursday's Tastings

The Pentagon is planning to send an additional 10,000 troops to Afghanistan over the next month or so to help reduce the rising violence over there. I wonder where we are going to get he troops from. Looks like more troops will be getting another tour instead of coming home.

Israel is building more settlements in the West Bank. Of course, the Palestinians are crying foul and are threatening to retaliate. Israel makes a peace agreement that says they won't make additional settlements on Palestinian territory, re-nigs on the deal; the Palestinians retaliate and get blamed for not wanting peace. For what it's worth, the Israelis are having enough problems themselves with these rouge settlers torching Palestinian olive farms and creating chaos.

An illegal alien kills a father and his two sons because they blocked an intersection with an AK-47. This guy has had several brushes with the law, but has never been deported. San Francisco's policy of shielding illegals from deportation has directly caused the death of this family.

The federal minimum wage is set to increase by 70 cents today. Not everyone is happy. Some business owners are already hurting because of reduced business and rising food costs . Now payroll is increasing.

Georgia schools are bringing dusting off their old paddles in an attempt to re-institute discipline.

NASA astronaut and moon-walker claims we have been visited by aliens on several occassions, but the government is covering it up.

Nas delivers a petition to Fox News with more than 600,000 signatures demanding that they remedy their negative portrayals of the black community. Who me? Racist?
