Guest Worker Program and other signs that the end is near

Signs of the Times

1. We are publicly discussing a Guest Worker Program. Such programs do nothing but create two classes of people unequally protected by the law. While immigration policies do need to be re-thought, the answer is not to use Germany as a model.
2. Rove is back in town. Of all the possible survivors, who thought it would this porcine little man? This shows where the President’s priority is: propping up friends and getting rid of detractors.
3. Laura Bush is doing the PR circuit as a Feminist. If anyone ever made a bona fide feminist wince, it is Laura Bush. Tipper Gore, too.
4. McDonald’s is leading the school nutrition programs across the country. How sad that our children get to learn about the food pyramid from Ronald McDonald and the Frito Bandito.
5. Hillary and Rupert dating. This is hard to stomach no matter how you look at it. It seems that nothing good could from this unholy alliance. Let’s wait and see, though. They might actually birth a whole new political party and break up the Washington fun.

All joking aside, these are serious issues with many important things at stake. The link between Guest Worker Programs and anti-Union activity hardly ever comes up in polite conversation. But that is because low-blow news and Fox pseudo-news drown out all other voices. With as many media outlets as there are in the country, why do we get more entertainment news that anything else? It’s McDonald’s nutrition for the mind, body and soul – God help us all!
