From Today's New York Times
There are a couple of great stories, but this site does require registration. You've been warned.
A scandalous Arkadelphia INS raid is breaking as an important national story.
About 30 children, some as young as 3 months old, were left without their parents this week after immigration officials raided a poultry plant and took the parents away to face possible deportation.
Federal officers claim to have asked each of the 119 detailed adults if they had children. I am wondering exactly how they posed the question and if it ever occurred to any of these college educated morons that, perhaps, the question was not properly understood. They also might have taken into account that these proud hard-working people would never under any circumstance surrender their children to the United States government. Of course, that is a demonstration of character and nobody in government should be expected to "get" such an odd concept.
The other item concerns the United Airlines employee pensions. You may have heard that the airline has had a little "opps" on what I am sure many considered a sacred obligations. It turns out that, as you might expect, federal investigators are focused on everything but the real problem It's not how much money is invested each year but the appropriateness of the investment.
