I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

So I ran across this article from Drudgereport.com and really couldn't believe what I read. Basically, this po-dunk town in Pennsylvania made a law saying that if you hired an illegal immigrant or rented a property to them, you would be fined. Sounds logical enough to me, you are aiding someone who is committing a crime by merely being here in the United States. I always though aiding a fugitive was against the law, but what do I know? Anyway, a federal judge has ruled that the City can't enforce that ordinance because it violates federal law. So, its ok to aid a fugitive? So next time a bank robber asks you for a ride after robbing a bank you can say yes? Give me a break, this judge is ridiculous. There is no reason to not have a law like this town tried to implement, it would slow the influx of illegal immigrants and provide penalties who are keeping them here by providing jobs for them. Don't get me wrong...I love the hispanic people and lived for two years in South America and absolutely love their culture. I just want people to come in through the front door and not sneak in through the back. Here's the article.

The Pursuit of Happyness

Janell and I watched The Pursuit of Happyness probably a month or so ago and really enjoyed it. This article talks about the guy who lived that experience. I found the article really interesting. Here's the link from Yahoo!

Cas Haley

I am almost ashamed to admit it, but Janell and I have been watching America's Got Talent as of late. The show isn't really that bad, there's some pretty interesting stuff in it. The real standout is this dude named Cas Haley. He is phenomenal and has huge potential. I'd love to be able to play the guitar and sing like this guy does. I've posted a video of his audition below. He is from the group Woodbelly, so you can go to www.myspace.com/woodbelly to listen to more of his stuff or search on youtube for Woodbelly. Thought everyone might be interested in this.
