Your ignorance, bias, and un-fair and im-balance shows through, Ms. Brigid. The people shown in the film were not 'anti-immigrant' or 'racist', they were 'anti-ILLEGAL-immigration' and definitely not racist. Also, your quoting of a well-known feloneous (aiding and abetting illegal immigration is a felony) hate group, the SPLC, for your statistics on so-called hate crimes (thought control) puts you in the same category: a bigoted, felony-supporting, un-fair and im-balanced anti-American. Both you and Huckabee should take a Hike! Wayne wrote on Dec 14, 2007 8:56 AM:Just because I am against the illegal aliens coming into my country, supporting the Minutemen, doesn't make me a racist. Many of you need to get your definitions straight on what a racist is. However, those same will continue the name calling no matter what, and since by calling those of us racists makes their world a happy and bright world, go for it.
Wendy: Case sent to fiscal
One day every year our elected representatives wear an outfit similar to the Grand Prix drivers, but rather than logos relating to GP sponsors, their overalls are covered in the logos of the lobbyists, and donors who make their lives so comfortable. .

Clinton Appoints New Campaign Manager As Obama Takes Maine
Barack Obama swept to victory in Maine last night, getting the upper hand in all the weekend contests with his rival Hillary Clinton in his bid to win the Democratic nomination for the White House. Mr Obama won Maine by 59 percent to 41 percent with 87 percent of precincts reporting. The victory was all the more impressive, as he was down in four polls before the caucus and lost in neighbouring Massachusetts on Super Tuesday. He even won a Grammy yesterday for the audio version of his book "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream," beating two former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter in the best-spoken word album category. Unable to blunt his advance Mrs Clinton responded by shaking up her own campaign. She replaced long time manager and friend Patti Solis Doyle, a move her campaign described as ‘a seamless transition.' The surprise announcement saw her position taken by Maggie Williams, another close confidante of Mrs Clinton.
Science U.S. Military Will Attempt to Shoot Dead Satellite With ...
Late last month DailyTech reported that a massive U.S. spy satellite had fallen unresponsive and was slowly falling out of orbit towards Earth. The uncontrolled crash would be the second largest in history at around 5-20 tons, second only to the harmless crash of the 78-ton Skylab into the Indian Ocean in 1979. Experts warned that if the spy satellite crashed on or exploded above land it could cause serious damage, partially due to its toxic load of Hydrazine fuel. Also, security analysts warned that government secrets aboard the spy satellite could be damaging if they fell into the wrong hands. The U.S. military made a worried announcement informing the public of the satellite's descent last month. Now they have decided on a course of action, which reads like a movie script -- they will shoot the damaged satellite out of the sky with a missile. The military under orders from the U.S.
Say No To The Vocoder
No matter who becomes President, this election year is sure to bring change in Washington. Both parties are presenting candidates who want to learn from the mistakes of the Bush years and regain America's standing throughout the world. Today, the Hip-Hop community represents an ever expanding range of backgrounds, ethnicities and experiences, so we have a responsibility to combine our vast resources to correct what may be the biggest tragedy of the last several years: the resurgence of the Vocoder. To be fair, the worst offenders actually use variations on the device like the Sonovox and Autotuner, but all of them are children of this mighty beast. Once an innocent vocal effect to help sing a song of love between a boy and his computer, the Vocoder family has since become a studio trick to cover up the fact that many of today's Pop singers can't actually sing (like, at all).
Dogs kill sheep at college farm
INTRUDERS have allowed a pack of dogs to kill three sheep and ravage a number of chickens at the farm grounds of a college in Sydney's west. A number of unidentified people cut a hole in a wire fence and entered the agricultural premises on Saturday night (AEDT) at Bidwill, near Mount Druitt. They then cut the lock on a gate to a paddock that contained a ram and two pregnant ewes and let in an unknown number of dogs to attack and kill the sheep. The dogs then moved into another paddock and ravaged a number of chickens. Police were called to the scene about 2pm yesterday after staff attended the college to check on the animals. Officers conducted an investigation and spoke with people in the surrounding neighbourhood.
Something's cookin' in the I.E.
At this school, you don't give your teacher an apple. No, you give your teacher a caramelized apple crepe with smoked Gouda. Or a buttered rum apple fritter with orange sauce. At this school, you don't eat a sandwich and banana out of a lunch box. No, you dine elegantly on rack of lamb with mint sauce, baked polenta with a tomato reduction sauce, and grilled artichokes. At this school, you don't have food fights. You have cook-offs. Welcome to the new International Culinary School at The Art Institute of California - Inland Empire, located just off Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino. If anyone needs additional proof that the Inland Empire has become a destination dining capital, here it is. We are enjoying the best work of today's best chefs, at exquisite restaurants throughout the region.
