Aren't We All Immigrants?

*Blog*

Crazy weekend, kinda. Saturday me and the Mrs., excuse me, the Mrs. and I, were at home watching ... well I don't know what the hell we were watching, but anyway we heard the rain, and then heavy wind gusts and I just blew it off. A little while later, my mom called and said, "Terry!", and I said, "What?". "A tornado touched down in the front of the neighborhood!". I was like, "okay." The next day I drove the black beast a few streets over and saw all the people working on a few roofs in the neighborhood. Just crazy and a little scary. And then there was the draft...

If I can steal a line from my good buddy Tanna Ogeron, coming to us live from Savannah, GA., or Orlando, FLA., or some freaking-where-in-Europe, "Dude, I can't wait to buy Madden now. And I can safely say that the speaks for me, as well as every heterosexual male (i doubt that there are homosexual madden tournaments) between the ages of 8 to deceased living along the gulf coast. Seriously, now I'm not a die hard USC, or Reggie Bush fan, but hey, at least they didn't take a tackle. Some people are trying to downplay the Saints taking Reggie, but truth be told, this is probably the franchise's biggest pick since Archie Manning, Willie Roaf, and Ricky Williams (yeah they traded an entire draft for him and it was a bit much, but he was productive for us.). I don't know what they plan to do with Deuce now that Bush is there, or Michael Bennett whom we signed from Minnesota. Who knows, but I'm just glad that the team didn't take a tackle.

Random thought:

Had to ask, shouldn't the "Get Answers" promos feature reporters?

While watching the draft on and off this weekend, every time ESPN's Suzy Colber talked, all I heard was "Broadway" Joe Namath saying, "I wanna kiss you right now."

Okay, there's something in the news, both national and local that's been really "irking" me. This whole immigrants coming into the country and working, starting gangs, working and starting gangs, selling oranges, selling peanuts, shooting porn ... I don't know. Everyone's going crazy. Now about a month ago an immigration bill popped up in Washington and now much to the dismay of contractors everywhere, all the immigrants are going "welga". Yep, that's right. Cab drivers and cheap laborers all over the country will tell us "Lazy Americans" to kiss their collective asses today, by boycotting work, school, and shopping. But why are we so hard on these people coming into our country? They just want the same opportunities we have (although opportunities for them seem to come a lot more frequent). So with that, I ask you this question, "Aren't we living in a country settled and founded by immigrants -- illegal immigrants?" Last time I read my social studies book, I don't remember them saying anything about the pilgrims stopping by the immigration/naturalization office for green cards. Or was that "privileged information" located deep within "The Mayflower Compact"? Did El Conquistador Hernando Cortez have his "papers" in order when he came a lied to the "native" americans, telling them he was god before he made off with their "goods"? What about the "patriots" who fought for "sovereignty from Britain? Immigrants people. They were all illegal immigrants. Yeah, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but when the Indians were showing the Pilgrims how to plant corn, while they were coincidentally making them sick at the same time, they were there illegally. Christopher Columbus? May as well have been Jose Rodriguez the roofer getting paid under the table by "daddy" for services rendered on the weekend. Sometimes I forget, but we really are a country full of hypocrites. Hey damnit, "Los Bloges" is not only entertainment, it's also educational. For the kids.

By the way, since all the Mexicans are on strike today, shouldn't the city of "Gonzales" be closed? And can I reserve my copy of Madden 07'

Just my .02, take it or leave it.
