May 6, 2010 Arizona has drawn a line in the sand. Not the line that boarders the state and Mexico but the line between Arizona and Washington D.C.. Arizona lawmakers have called the D.C. power brokers bluff. They have stressed already existing laws. Let me type this slowly so everybody can read this carefully. Arizona has only stressed pre-existing laws. They have called their bluff in a desperate attempt to find a solution, any solution to the ever growing problem of illegal immigration, illegal drug trafficking (is that being redundant?) and all the crimes associated with this traffic. The Obama administration has, what we used to call in the service “a pucker factor”, that has painted them in a corner concerning potential voters and following the rule of law. It would be naïve to believe that this sort of thing is new in Washington, but as Americans we have turned a blind eye, turned the other cheek so often that if it weren’t for all the daily doses of dramamine brought to you by the main steam media, we’d all be yarking our corn dogs and cotton candy on the political fairgrounds years ago. Not to be outdone by all the press that Arizona has garnered, we can sleep safely at night knowing that t-shirt vendors are doing a better job than the Department of Homeland Security in finding terrorists in our country. Has anyone given thought about moving all the vendors to Afghanistan? I figure three weeks and we’d have Bin Laden, Obama’s birth certificate, and they’d make a killing in burkas with “I heart New York”. The Obama administration can take all the credit they want, but the truth of the matter is Slappy bin Whatever set the alarm clock wrong, and a vendor spotted a smoking car. If it weren’t for the diligence of TSA agents . . . . Oops, wait a second, I wonder if Slappy even got searched on his way to Dubai? And to make matters worse for Uncle Obama, we have a massive oil spill that started on day one! Coincidently, that’s when Obama and company started saying they were doing something about the oil spill. Specifically, what they were doing was. . . . Stating that they were doing something at DAY ONE. Which is all well and good, but have they even done anything on day two? Day three? How about day four? All we need to do now is cover New Orleans with corn flour, torch the Gulf and we can have a crispy, crunchy (sprinkled with powdered sugar) Mardi Gras.
All in all, I think May has gotten off to a great start, the Gulf is a mess, New Yorkers are relying on street vendors to fight terrorism and Arizona has more stones than Washington when it comes to the law. Just as long as the vendors aren’t being profiled and asked for ID’s, we should be safe.
Can’t wait to see what happens next week.
