Then, of course, there's the roundup of Iraqi immigrants:

My favorite quote from this article: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/03/22/state2117EST0209.DTL

"Rest assured, that we are not going to go out and interview someone on the ruse to interview them for immigration violations," Iannarelli said. "Our major function is to gather intelligence to keep America safe and keep our soldiers safe."

And then, two days later, in this article:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/03/24/national1502EST0700.DTL

"...two law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity said about 30 have been detained on immigration charges since the program began last week."

Oh, yeah, this sort of thing would never happen here...

More importantly, I have a huge nasty burn on my neck from a curling iron, but does the world weep for MY tragedy??? Thankfully not. !!!!PHREEDUM!!!! I like this spelling better because it hasn't been used by Ford to sell trucks yet, and it reminds me of "phrenum", which is sort'a appropriate.
