We've got a lot of congressional talk swirling around the belfry.  Because I'm in San Diego, that means immigration.  So of note is that Congress is planning to postpone the passport requirement for Mexico and elsewhere until 2009 because the government can't keep up with the applications.  Well played.  I'm kinda overwhelmed today by stupid news like food-fight lawsuits, dolphins shot to death and a baby served booze at Appleby's, so you're gonna have to seek out your own inspiration this weekend. It's healthy and I'm proud of you.  But on the immigration tip: The White Stripes - Icky Thump

"Well, Americans:
What, nothin' better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too."
