I’ll trade my political humor (see below) for a little vitriol, especially since it highlights more big government excess in an administration that was put in office by supposed conservative voters.

Michael Leavitt, Bush appointee as Secretary of Health and Human Services, used the HHS private jet that is assigned for emergency use to fly around the country pushing Bush’s Medicare snake oil — even, in two instances, forcing HHS to hire a seperate jet for real emergencies.

I had my first noticable impact from the immigration “crisis” this weekend. I got up early on Saturday to get a new metal cutting blade so we could work on the fence. I decided I would grab a breakfast taco while I was out. On the way to Home D’pot I took the back road which normally would have 3-4 taco stands. Now, there are none. So I took another way back to the house which has a taco stand or two occasionally. Again, no taco.

Thanks to Republican hysteria — used to misdirect the US public away from any real issues in an election year — I went hungry Saturday morning, and I bet I’m not the only person who has missed a meal because of this un-Christian and un-American attitude towards immigration.

The Republicans don’t care if regular Americans go hungry.
