Awww — AP Opines Plight of Illegals in Texas

Those poor, poor “undocumented citizens.” The Associated Press makes the case this morning, the apparent bias oozing from the headline: Legal and illegal, Latinos labor to rebuild Texas. Expecting an obvious slant considering the headline, the authors did not disappoint with the liberal lamenting.
Ike brought a wide swath of destruction, and with it the prospect of more work, higher wages and a respite from the ever-present threat of deportation. In recent months, many day laborers say, jobs in the Houston area had started to dry up, and police and immigration officials had been cracking down.
To sum up feelings on both sides — of both the illegal workers and the pro-illegal liberals — one Honduran immigrant had this to say:
Without us, how would they build Houston again? Without the work of our hands, there would be no way to move forward.
Well, you sure won’t find one of these whining liberals out there “working”… unless it’s to report on the plight of these laborers making $7 per hour, while the liberals sip on cups of chai that cost an hour’s work for these laborers.

Venezuela’s Chavez Paranoid - Sampling the Goods?
September 11, 2008
International
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is acting highly paranoid and marginally delusional, leaving third-party observers to wonder if Chavez may have fallen victim to the peer pressure of a high-currency drug trade whose home front is Chavez’s own country. According to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Venezuela is a a major transit point for cannabis and coca-derived illicit drugs.
In an Associated Press article, it is reported that Chavez has ousted U.S. Ambassador Patrick Duddy over concerns that the United States government is involved in a covert plot to have Chavez removed from power. He is quoted as saying, “They’re trying to do here what they were doing in Bolivia,” and, “That’s enough [expletive] from you, Yankees.”
Chavez recently invited Russia to deploy two Blackjack bomber aircraft to Venezuela, which U.S. officials have dismissed as inconsequential. Of the bomber delivery, Chavez said, “The presence of those Russian planes in Venezuela is a warning. There’s nothing better to keep yourself from being attacked than to dissuade.”
To provide some background, Chavez also referred to George W. Bush as “the devil” at a United Nations meeting, commenting that he could still smell sulfur in the room after Bush had left.
That must be some serious weed!
