The 'Double-Trouble' Edition...
This past week has brought two significant issues to our (ahem) attention that begs to be commented upon. (I'm pretty sure you all have opinions on these matters, haha...)
The 'What does that even mean?' Question...
In the aftermath of the enactment of Arizona's 'Papers, please' law, various and sundry administration officials, politicians and activists have said that this event only proves the need for immediate "Comprehensive Immigration Reform". However, specific details were lacking and
Mr. Obama has shied away from the issue by saying congress has no appetite for that political 'hot potato' with the fall mid-term elections looming. So, here's your opportunity to give them your input (or a piece of yer mind, if that works). I trust (cough) Rahm reads Bartcop E*...
What would you like (or not like) CIR to include and when (or) should it be done?
The 'Drill, Baby... Spill!' Question...
Not a month has passed after President Obama proposed increased off-shore oil drilling operations when karma bit him in the ass with the BP platform disaster. (Hello? 911? Gaia calling!)
Should Mr. Obama rescind or modify (how?) his decision?
Well, then, Poll-fans. A light turn-out, but nonetheless entertaining. I separated the dual responses to their respective questions. I'm hopin' ya don't mind...
(Except fer mine. They're at the end)...
So, without further ado, let's get on with it...

The Vidiot opined...
I think that as a state's population shifts, like in Arizona, with a huge influx of, in this case, Spanish-speaking Mexicans, all of the institutions in that state should organically adjust. More Spanish should be spoken and be on used on signage. More of the immigrants should take public control of the reigns of power. The power structure should shift over and adequately reflect the make-up of the population. And since I believe that Nation States are illegitimate and oppressive structures, that no 'government' has the right to dictate where I can live and work, where I can travel and where I can't, that boundaries are arbitrary (constructed based on the wishes of a power elite), I do not view these 'immigrants' as illegal.
Those who support this policy of criminalizing the poor support white supremacy. The Arizona law is but one more of many steps to secure white power and domination that is perceived to be in peril with the transforming population. As the dominant population becomes numerically impoverished compared to the increasing minority population, racist laws will continue to pass, compensating for the rising immigrant population. Yes, they want the indigenous working for the white man, but they must remember that the white man controls the law, culture, state, and all that is social. This is what happens when the dominant population becomes, at the same time (due to immigration) the minority population. White power must remain though white people are no longer the majority. This law is only an extension of white power already firmly embedded in all American institutions.
The more the powerless population (in this case poor Mexicans) increase in numbers, the more racist laws are imposed to control them, thus rendering them in a perpetual cycle of inferiority and powerlessness. You can ask, "What part did nation states play in producing poverty and than criminalizing the impoverished they create? What right do nations states have in preventing individuals from migrating simply to alleviate the misery that free trade helped produce?
Mexicans are not simply living where they want to live. Instead, they chase jobs. The worthless value of the Mexican peso, the free trade treaty signed with NAFTA, and the continued exploitation and oppression of millions of indigenous people have all contributed to this mass migration of immigrants. Legalizing racial profiling only exacerbates the problem. It criminalizes the poor that the system produced; blaming the victim in an economic system that systematically produces poverty, misery, and decay. America needs to exploit the indigenous, weak, and powerless for profit (to do the shit work) while at the same time fears and despises those who they mercilessly exploit. The result is further punishment against those unfortunate enough to migrate to a country that hates them, only to secure petty wages that still offer an improvement to the grim conditions faced in Mexico.
What most white folks don't realize is that they are just as punished as the Mexicans, only their income is just a bit higher. Most white folks are just as disposable. So why do they identify with their white captors? Is it just because they share a European ancestry? Is it Stockholm syndrome? We as a whole are closer to the indigenous and marginalized in the world than we are to the privileged elite (those who finance the politicians) who pass laws like the Arizona laws. They are not looking out for our interests. We should instead join with our brothers, the marginalized, since that is whom we are closer to, and in case anyone has yet to notice, we are quickly on our way to their same fate.
bebo sent an 'on scene' report...
Since I live in the Phoenix area, ground zero of immigration reform, I feel I am somewhat qualified to comment on the subject. on Feb..14,1912, when Arizona stopped shooting Indians & became a state, every administration, both state & federal, has used Mexico as a source of cheap labor.( read: $10 for a head of lettuce vs. $1 for a head of lettuce). Everyone knows that illegal immigration is a problem but because of the economic benefits, it's always been put on the back burner. That is until B. Obama was elected POTUS. since then, the local wingnuts & their ilk (read: racists & bigots) have decided that the problem has to be fixed RIGHT NOW! I can't remember the last time I've lost a minutes sleep over illegal immigration. Of course this doesn't mean I'm apolitical. I've been real busy working on the medical marijuana initiative that's coming up for a vote in November. In fact, I've already bought a pair of bib overalls & brogans so I can be ready to put in a crop in my backyard when the initiative passes.
(Bart will love ya, Dude!)
DanD first ROTFL...
AAAAAAaaaaaHA,HA,HA,Ha,Ha,Ha,ha,ha,ha -- ha -- (urk) hack ... cough, ahem ~
(Then composed himself and, as only he can...)
... a double-down WPE(dition, tm: BttbB); (Yuppers, a two-fer...)
I will include here a reader's comment that I wrote for the Pasadena Weekly as a response to an online (and default dead-tree) piece ( Pasadena Weekly,~go to the end of the article):
Is it true? I mean, a whole class of "brown" people are getting the "Apartheid" shaft ... only because they are brown? It's rather obvious, the fact that MOST immigration scofflaws in Arizona not being Caucasian has absolutely nothing to do with it of course.
Well, tell me, how many Caucasian European types that are being rounded up along say, the Canadian border, have the prospective option of now flouting immigration law, but only if they feel like they're being racially discriminated against? Do Canadians even do illegal immigration? Or is it more than just an urban legend ... it's written somewhere in the Bible I think, "White" people can't be racially discriminated against (and if they are -- well -- they obviously deserve it).
And so far, are the "racist hand jobs" of Arizona at fault for the massive debacle of immigration crime assaulting their southern border and spreading throughout the state? I mean, could it -- just possibly -- be that overburdening tax-drain living their high-life in Washington D.C. (you know, the ones who just can't seem to be bothered with comprehensive -- and fair to the local taxpayer -- immigration reform) might be a major part of the problem?
So, a fifty percent-plus majority of primarily (first-language) English-speaking Arizona citizens who are most likely Caucasian (along with an uncounted number of, not disagreeing, "brown-skinned" Arizonans) apparently endorse a "Show-me-your-papers" kind of law that is primarily intended to reassert their own authority over who actually qualifies for their own, tax-supported and State managed public services infrastructure?
Ah, the fascism that is democracy! (I do like what ol' Winnie said, however "...democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.")
There is a Federal law, you know, that requires all noncitizen immigrants to carry their green cards with them while they're out and about exploiting the freedoms of living in the United States. Now, it used to be that all legal immigrants first had to show their green card in order to get a driver's license. Prevalently, it probably is still that way in Arizona.
Anyway, I want to know something, just how many illegally immigrating Caucasians are assaulting the U.S.'s southern border with Mexico? Surely, there must be at least a few ... have any been caught? I know one thing, when I try taking my white bright ass across the U.S./Mexican border, they make me show my Citizenship papers.
What a can-o-worms. (Merely a can? Hows 'bout a dump truck full!)
I would like to include that we (you know, at least some of us law-abiding, proletariat types) do not condone the rule-of-lawlessness practiced by ALL criminal border-crossers, merely because some lower-rung, economically competing serf-like opportunists are less educated (a qualified presumption) and brown-skinned (an also, circumstantially shared fact*) -- in the end -- what are we telling our children?
"Hey babies, just as long as you have foreign government and corporate sponsorship, you can steal as many public services AND JOBS from America's lower economic strata as you want ... and us collaborating corporate classes will also frequently let you riot, IN AMERICA, for a legal representation that -- Constitutionally -- you don't even qualify for."
This is where America's hijacked promise of equality only makes the majority as equal as the lowest rung of wage-slaves, rule of law be damned.
(*Go ahead, ask almost any "across the ponds" legal immigrant types, i.e. (mostly professional) Southeast Asians, Africans of non-Caucasian descent, Levant immigrants, et-al, of what they think about all those "wetback" types from all compass locations [regardless of race], and you will get a very Arizona-like earful of what needs to happen to those kinds of border-crossing crooks.)
Charlie Y. allows...
I haven't been concentrating much on the immigration issue lately. The only comment I have is that since the so called "free trade" agreements have apparently created a lot of displaced and impoverished Mexicans looking for someplace to go, maybe we should rescind those for starters (ha, ha).
(Yeah, like THAT'S gonna happen!)
The 'Drill, Baby... Spill!' Question...
Not a month has passed after President Obama proposed increased off-shore oil drilling operations when karma bit him in the ass with the BP platform disaster. (Hello? 911? Gaia calling!)
Should Mr. Obama rescind or modify (how?) his decision?
Richard McD. sent...
Drill my ass. You can't govern from the middle, Clinton tried it, did it work for him? It could take some of these States 50 years to recover if ever... admit that he made a bad judgment call and get on with it.
The Vidiot again...
RE: the drilling thing. Obama is more dangerous than Bush and I'll tell you why: Obama is more able to further the agenda of white power and ruling elite because of the way he was marketed, the support he garnered, makes it way harder to criticize what he does and so, as a result, he tries (and succeeds) in getting way with more than anybody else. If Bush had signed the more drilling law, you can bet folks would've been screaming, but because their beloved Obama did it, well, they stayed quiet about it. The man's dangerous.
DRD wrote...
I feel Mr. Obama has stepped into a very sticky mess by his effort to take a preemptive strike in the upcoming battle for bank reform by taking away the opponents main talking point of 'drill baby drill!' and it will be a drastic cost factor to his ability to muster support for other much needed projects! Proper or not, the GOP will ride this dead horse even if they have to hook it to a fire truck and drag it down Main Street while the siren blasts loudly for all to hear!
The best answer for this dilemma is for the American populace to awaken from their long slumber and demand rapid development of alternative energy sources as at the same time we wean ourselves off of all the unnecessary junk product binge we have been on for too long already! This, given the outlook of the average joe blow, will be a task comparable to the rush on 'The Manhattan Project' of WW2. This would have a very limited negative effect on jobs here as most of the junk is being made off-shore! So drill or no drill, we are between the rock and the hard place in our zest to furnish energy to a daily surge of more, more, more to the ever increasing world population! We must reduce this demand regardless of drill or no drill!
bebo tersely said...
He should fire Ken Salazar & keep punting.
DanD sez...
"And now, for door number two:"
Obama should first come clean on just how much money he was bribed to liability-limit BP's disaster exposure. THEN, he should line up every last one of those BP employees, from the CEO down to the lowliest managing technician (as well as many collateral government and corporate co-conspirators), and make them clean shorelines for the next 20 years ... but that's just what I think.
Charlie Y. rounds it out with...
I have been following the mess in the Gulf of Mexico pretty closely, where the bad news gets worse by the hour so it seems. Yes, Obama should rescind his decision, but along with that, he needs to propose programs for public transportation and alternative energy, to state the obvious. Other than that, I find myself short of ideas.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sigh... I am extremely conflicted about the immigration issue. I empathize with ALL whom are affected by this conundrum. I try to understand and make sense of all their view points. I visualize myself in their immediate predicaments and think, "How would I feel? What would I do? To what extremes would I go?"...
I do not know what solution would satisfy everyone and I don't think anyone else does, either. I feel that is the basis of the political inaction that is prolonging the agony... and fear is driving the desperation of everyone involved and push is going to come to a very large shove in the near future.
And that is what I fear most...
I have a suggestion for Mr. Obama concerning off-shore drilling. Declare a moratorium on new drilling until the oil companies create a substantial group insurance fund that would cover the expenses of any future spill clean-ups, stock pile necessary clean-up equipment in strategic locations with a ready force to use it on a moment's notice and place it under the supervision of the EPA/Coast Guard. Then we'll talk...
So, there it is... Thanks to all! You are, of course, THE BEST!

The 'Sympathy for the Devil' Edition...
Glen Beck(-elzebub) - or perhaps some unearthly entity clothed in Glenn Beck's skin - on Faux and Fiends, discussing the Miranda Rights of alleged Times Square car bomber Faisal Shahzad said… "He is a citizen of the United States, so I say we uphold the laws and the Constitution on citizens… If you are a citizen, you obey the law and follow the Constitution. He has all the rights under the Constitution… We don't shred the Constitution when it is popular. We do the right thing"...
You weren't expecting that, were you? I don't think anybody was...

Lenny Kravitz Among Headliners At Benefit
Gulf Aid
Lenny Kravitz, Ani DiFranco and Mos Def are among the headliners for a benefit concert to support relief efforts for those affected by a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Kravitz, who lives part-time in New Orleans, was the first to sign up when asked by Rehage Entertainment president Steven Rehage to participate in Gulf Aid. Others participating are: Allen Toussaint, Zachary Richard, Jeremy Davenport and The Voice of the Wetlands Allstars, which features Dr. John and Cyril Neville.
The benefit concert will take place on Sunday at Mardi Gras World River City, which overlooks the Mississippi River in New Orleans. Tickets cost $50.
Proceeds from the event will benefit fishermen and their families, whose livelihoods depend on the Gulf, and other organizations.

Tops Maxim Hot 100 List
Katy Perry
Singer Katy "I Kissed a Girl" Perry topped Maxim magazine's Hot 100 list on Monday, toppling "House" star Olivia Wilde on a roster that saw Angelina Jolie fall to No. 38.
Perry, 25, who shot to fame in 2008, was deemed by Joe Levy, editor-in-chief of the men's magazine, to be a "triple -- no quadruple -- kind of hot."
The U.S. singer, who had a No.1 hit with "I Kissed a Girl, is engaged to British comedian Russell Brand. She beat swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, "Avatar" actress Zoe Saldana and "Gossip Girl" actress Blake Lively for the top spot on the mens' magazine's 2010 list.
Wilde, who plays bisexual doctor Thirteen on TV medical drama "House", was bumped from her No.1 spot last year to 20 on the new list.

Toronto Tagging?
Banksy
It appears legendary British graffiti artist Banksy has left his mark on Toronto.
The Show & Tell Gallery blogged about several supposed sightings of the artist's street work, posting photos of mostly black-and-white paintings apparently found hidden away in downtown back alleys.
Distinctive for their satirical look at politics and culture, the pictures include a businessman with a sign around his neck that reads, "will work for idiots," and another businessman with a sign reading, "0% interest in people."
Show and Tell's director, Simon Cole, says he has it on good authority that Banksy did the work and notes that the pieces are full of the artist's hallmarks.

House For Sale
Truman Capote
The Brooklyn town house where Truman Capote wrote "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and other notable works is on sale for $18 million.
Sotheby's International Realty agent Karen Heyman said Monday that the building is expected to break sales records as one of the most expensive townhouses in the borough.
She said the Brooklyn Heights house is on the market for the first time in 70 years. Built in 1839, the house has 11 bedrooms, a finished basement with a wine cellar and a 2,500-square-foot garden.
Capote rented a basement apartment from Broadway art director Oliver Smith for 10 years in the 1950s and 1960s. The author wrote an essay, "A House on the Heights," based on his experiences in the neighborhood.

UNICEF goodwill ambassador Mia Farrow is calling for women raped at last year's stadium massacre to receive help and compensation.
The U.S. actress says that she was profoundly touched by the survivors she met in Guinea, where at least 156 people were killed and dozens were raped last September.
Farrow also said Sunday at the end of her five-day visit that she had seen children who could have been saved by better health care.
She says the upcoming June election also presents a unique opportunity for the West African country to improve health care.

Judge Refuses To Unseal Testimony
Roman Polanski
Secret testimony given by the original prosecutor in Roman Polanski's 33-year-old sex case will remain sealed, a judge ruled Monday.
Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza, turning down a request from Polanski's lawyers to unseal transcripts, said there was only one circumstance in which the material would become public. That would be if Polanski returns to the United States for a hearing and the retired prosecutor, Roger Gunson, is unavailable to testify in person.
"We continue to be bogged down in the question of whether he will ever return," said Espinoza.
The judge noted in a written ruling that Swiss Justice Ministry officials aid the transcripts "are irrelevant for the extradition proceedings."

Starlet Pleads No Contest
Bling Ring
A reality starlet accused of burglarizing Orlando Bloom's house pleaded no contest Monday to felony burglary and was sentenced to up to six months in county jail after reaching a deal with prosecutors.
Alexis Neiers, 18, an aspiring model who has been the subject of the E! Entertainment Television reality show "Pretty Wild," entered the plea shortly before her trial was slated to begin. Bloom, star of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" film franchises, had been expected to testify.
As part of the deal, Neiers was sentenced to three years of formal probation and six months in county jail for the July break-in. She also agreed to stay away from Bloom and his Hollywood Hills home.
She will begin serving her sentence June 24. She had rejected plea deals that required jail time but was facing up to six years in state prison if convicted at trial.

Pleads Not Guilty
Fernanda Romero
A Mexican-born actress living in Los Angeles has pleaded not guilty to charges that she had a phony marriage.
Fernanda Romero and her American husband, Kent Ross, both 28, pleaded not guilty Monday to federal marriage fraud charges. Each could face up to five years in federal prison if convicted.
The U.S. attorney's office says Romero paid Ross $5,000 to marry her in 2005 so she could become a U.S. resident but that they never lived together.
An investigation began after Romero's ex-boyfriend, fashion photographer Markus Klinko, told immigration authorities her marriage was a sham.

No Guarantee
Nancy Grace
Attorneys for talk show host Nancy Grace say the mother of a missing toddler who appeared on her cable show in 2006 shortly before committing suicide had "talking points" for an interview and wasn't ambushed on the show.
Grace's attorneys say Melinda Duckett wasn't taken by surprise in an interview about her missing two-year-old son in a motion they filed asking a judge to throw out the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Duckett's family.
The lawsuit accuses Grace, the host of a talk show on HLN, formerly CNN Headline News, of inflicting emotional distress on the 21-year-old mother with her questioning.
The trial in federal court in Florida is set to start in August.

'Irreversible' Damage
UN Environment Programme
The UN warned on Monday that "massive" loss in life-sustaining natural environments was likely to deepen to the point of being irreversible after global targets to cut the decline by this year were missed.
As a result of the degradation, the world is moving closer to several "tipping points" beyond which some ecosystems that play a part in natural processes such as climate or the food chain may be permanently damaged, a United Nations report said.
The third "Global Biodiversity Outlook" found that deforestation, pollution or overexploitation were damaging the productive capacity of the most vulnerable environments, including the Amazon rainforest, lakes and coral reefs.
"This report is saying that we are reaching the tipping point where the irreversible damage to the planet is going to be done unless we act urgently," Ahmed Djoghlaf, executive secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, told journalists.

Spanish Radio Show
"Polvo eres"
Spanish journalist Nieves Concostrina has brought her career back from the dead zone of unemployment with a hit radio program based on an innovative niche: dead people.
Concostrina was laid off after working on a national newspaper for years, and struggled for months before she first went on the air in 2003 with "Polvo eres" (Dust thou art), which is named after a line from the Bible.
Her morning program on public radio has since garnered a cult following with its tales of the unusual ways in which people find death, or what happens to their remains afterward.
"'Polvo eres' just seeks to show that death can turn out to be as interesting, extravagant or funny as life itself," Concostrina told Reuters in an interview.
