 To protest the FAA's proposed change of flight paths of airlines flying out of and into the sixth busiest airport in the nation, Sky Harbor International, the parents of the towns of Carefree and Cave Creek are invoking the magic phrase: "The Children."  (In case you aren't familiar with the residents of these bedroom communities 26 miles north of downtown Phoenix, let's just say that 80% of the people moved there in the last ten years from outside of Arizona with buckets of money.)  Protesting FAA flight path changes, these snobby, snooty, wealthy parents, claim that passenger airliners flying well over two miles high above these pseudo cities, would cause such an unbearable racket "the children" would not be able to concentrate on their school work. Har! Har! Har! For decades these FAA airline routes have been directly over my house and my children's grade and high schools without causing grade degradation. These parents want an example of actual stress on the children? How about the entire grade school populated by "the children" ending classes at noon, gathering into teacher-led groups and walking home in rehearsal of our nation's first thermonuclear war? That's what I and my classmates did in October of 1962. Now that's stress. Hell, it even topped the abrupt heart stopping double thunderclap of supersonic military jets flying out of Luke Air Force base. Sonic booms that shook windows, rattled the very ground and reminded us shaved head bumpkins that war was just over the horizon. All I can ponder is, that if these Carefree children are so sensitive that the whisper of a Southwest Jet or the silent chalkline of a tardy AmWest 737 scratched on the blue pallet of God, disrupts their studies, their concentration, then I fear for the future of Arizona and America.
The Bush Administration rescinded a recently proposed USDA standard of zero tolerance for salmonella testing of ground beef purchased by the federal government. The Democrats cry that Bush doesn't care about "the school children." These moronic critics fail to accept, that in properly cooked beef, all salmonella is killed regardless.  To your Mr. Wonderful, the whole controversy is laughable, because here in Maricopa County, the most populous county in the state of Arizona, there are no governmental health standards for food service workers. That means, anyone, even say . . . undocumented workers from a third world country (with fake ID) or legal immigrants from a third world nation can 'legally' work in any food service position, regardless of unrealized diseases they may be harboring. In the 1960s when I worked in the food service industry, I was required to submit to a health examination by officials of Maricopa County prior to be issued a food service card. I believe one of the diseases they tested for was Tuberculosis . TB, virtually irradicated in the United States, but which is spreading with more and more frequency in Mexico. So once again the Democrats are voicing concern about "the children" but are totally unconcerned about the real dangers facing all fast food Americans.
Since a fairly conservative President is in the White House, you, like myself, probably, naively assumed that the insanity would soon end. What form of insanity you query? The insanity that the April 3rd, 2001, Wall Street Journal reports as instructing U.S. Border Patrol agents to ". . . pick up garbage left by illegal aliens . . . and to steer clear of endangered animals." What a crock. These under paid, overworked agents who are literally risking their lives are now just armed sanitation workers? Arizona is detaining such huge numbers of illegal aliens (every one a criminal) on a daily basis that if these outlaws haven't yet committed a violent felony on U.S. soil they are simply captured, cataloged and carried back to the Mexico/Arizona border! And now, some left-over Clintonista appointee insists that Border Patrol agents are further hampered by sanitation and zoological duties? Citizens, this once again exposes the fact that our federal government wants these illiterate, illegal and criminal aliens to continue to flood into our country in order to populate our jails, our schools, our hospital emergency rooms, and our voting booths.
I've been knowing that something like the March 28th, 2001 high-speed rear ending of a Phoenix police car by a Xécore Inter taxicab piloted by a crazed Mexican-National was bound to occur. Not that one would specifically slam into a Ford Crown 'Vic' police vehicle, but that one (or more) would crash. How do I know the driver of the cab was most likely a Mexican-National? A most likely undocumented Mexican-National? He had a hyphenated surname. Why doesn't the media relay this important information to you? Because they imagine it would be 'racist' to refer to the country a person 'of color' comes from. Why is it important for you to know? Because individuals from Mexico are coming from a Third-World country with a culture of carelessness, lawlessness, and drunkenness that makes a weekend with my beer swilling cousins in Wisconsin (one of whom bankrupted his brewery - apparently he was drinking the profits!) seem like a trip to the local Sonic drive-in. For instance, I've occupied the same residence for decades and just the other night, I experienced a first. A car crawled straight into a curve thirty feet from our house and rolled to a stop. Not parallel to the curb, but at a right angle. After the vehicle sat there a few minutes, engine burbling, hi-beams washing my neighbor's living room windows, one of my security people notified me of its' presence. Donning my my night vision goggles, I casually wandered out onto my darkened front step. I could detect no movement inside the stranger's white, late model, Detroit-made sedan. I then phoned 911. Later as Phoenix police officers awoke and dragged the sopping drunk driver out, I heard them speaking only Spanish to him and he replying in only Spanish. The sure sign of a Mexican-National. Understand, this type of behavior is quite accepted in Mexico. Well, except the guy would have been passed out sans Dodge Neon. Remember, immigration is not about race, it's about nations and shunning all undesirables. Immigration is about empowering our government, not foreign nationals, to chose the individuals, regardless of this damn stupid color issue, who display the civility, the literacy and the high tech skills America needs.
 03/21/2001: Kidd Gets Off the (Right) Hook !
Of course you knew that Phoenix Sun's star, Jason Kidd, was going to be exonerated for whacking his wife over a disputed french fry.
Early this morning I heard the first P.S.A. from APS, the electrical utility that supplies millions of Arizonan's with power: "APS asks you to conserve power this summer."

Even though I'm sure those words were also broadcast last autumn, they certainly would not have registered in my mind. However this Monday, with the possibility of my Summer electric bill nudging four digits, I listened. As we brace ourselves over a possible megadollar bidding war for megawatts with California, we Arizonan's have always thought ourselves immune to actions of what some have labeled as "The largest outdoor insane asylum in the world". We didn't understand that the electrical utility power grid that has served Arizona and all the West virtually flawlessly for decades, could be overnight corroded by the political insanity of the state that is home to over 40% of this nation's illegal aliens. (When a large percentage of any state's population is undocumented it becomes impossible to plan or realistically support statewide infrastructures, such as the electrical grid.) However, as APS radio spokesmen comfort us with the words " . . . if we have a mild summer, there shouldn't be any problems . . . " I continue to listen and learn that today, the final day of Winter 2001, will deliver a high temperature of 85F degrees!
Air pollution? Blame the 10,000 illegal aliens who drive cars registered under a straw purchaser that pollute up to 1,000 times more than legally registered and inspected vehicles. And now the death of a Phoenix fire fighter attempting to rescue possibly trapped customers inside the blazing Southwest Supermarket on McDowell Road and 35th Avenue. Understand that your Mr.Wonderful worked for over a decade just one half mile up 35th Avenue, so I am quite familiar with the location. Southwest Supermarket's, after discussions with my American-Mexican compa's, was created to fill the grocery demands of illegal aliens. So, the enterprise should not even exist in the first place. In the second place, as I have argued before, these illegal aliens are not the cream of the Mexican crop. Many in their native language are illiterate individuals who often have criminal records and are steeped in the ways of a Third-World Narco-Republic. Knowing those facts and understanding that the origin of the fire at the Southwest Supermarket was near or in the trash dumpster. A trash dumpster crammed full of flammable cardboard. How far of a stretch would it be to assume the fire starter was a burning fag carelessly tossed by one of these illegal, illiterate, Third-World aliens rushing back to work after a smoke break?
