John Gibson had two guests today talking about immigration, Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO)and Jim Gilchrist, co-founder of the Minuteman Project.

The transcript follows:

Gibson: A week after Arizona declared a state of emergency along its border with Mexico, the Feds have finally stepped up and responded. The Homeland Security has promised to help the state fight illegal immigration, drug smuggling, human trafficking, and the violence that comes along with those activities. So what does this promise really mean?

Congressman Tom Tancredo joins us now. The Colorado Republican is Chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus. Congressman, Governor Napolitano in Arizona put on a lot of pressure and the Feds have said OK we’ll come help. What kind of help can she realistically expect?

Tancredo: Well that’s a great question. I don’t know what help has been promised and I don’t know what they’re actually going to do because, of course, everyone in America has been begging them to go down on the borders and do something about the fact that we have an invasion. And so far they’ve ignored it. Now I am happy that both Governor Napolitano and Governor Richardson have done a U-turn, a political U-turn on this issue. You know you do wonder I have to tell you when those two folks look in the mirror in the morning how many faces do they see? {laughs} Because, honestly, it’s just incredible to me that you can be so pro-open borders, work so hard for the ah you know to placate the immigration crowd and then the next day when you decide it’s politically, the thing to do, popular, make a big turnaround.

Just heard on Fox News:

Cindy Sheehan is leaving the anti-war protest in Crawford because her mother has had a stroke.

Our prayers are with her mother.

The BTK Killer was sentenced to 10 life sentences today.

Fox News has the story:

WICHITA, Kan. — BTK serial killer Dennis Rader (search) was sentenced Thursday to life in prison, with no chance of ever going free.

Rader, 60, who terrorized the Wichita area and taunted police during a 17-year murder spree from 1974 to 1991, received 10 consecutive life sentences — one for each of his victims — for a minimum of 175 years behind bars without the chance of parole.

It was the longest possible sentence Judge Gregory Waller could deliver. Kansas had no death penalty at the time the killings were committed.

He has a life to live, unlike his victims, whose lives were cut so tragically short. Hopefully, he’ll use the time to reflect on his crimes, but I don’t think he will…

It has been 90 days since John Kerry said he signed the Form 180 to release his military records. So far, we have learned that his college grades were slightly lower than George W. Bush’s.

Have we seen the actual form 180 yet?

Have we seen any more from the Globe? Have they posted the documents?

As Blackfive says:

This SF180 issue will never be cleared up until he signs an SF180 and lists the recipient as an independent journalist or committee, etc.

We previously wrote about Edward’s KidSafe Playhouses here.

Here are a couple of pictures of one of his latest:

Note: it is only 4 feet from the ground to the top of the stairs.
From Edward himself (in the comments)

Not to cause confusion but it is 4 ft to the last open step near the corner post of the playhouse.

The playhouse itself is elevated about 6 feet. The whole structure is 8 feet, 4 inches wide and 9 feet, 2 inches long.

Email Edward for more information.

Stop the ACLU has a link to a new video re Christmas and the ACLU. Go take a look!

In the Ben Stiller/Jack Black movie Envy the character Nick Vanderpark (Black) invents an aerosol spray that instantly vaporizes doggy doo-doo.

Oh how I wish that product were real! I just spent an hour clearing out the “landmines” that my Siberian, Nikita, left in the backyard. It’s been a while since that particular task was carried out. There were pounds and pounds of the nasty stuff.

I do know that I could avoid this by cleaning up right after Nikita places his landmines, but when they are fresh they can be especially nasty – after a few days they dry up and aren’t as aromatic.

Maybe someone could invent a “roomba” type machine that will search out and destroy canine landmines…

When my Dad had cancer this was something that we looked into, but his cancer wouldn’t have responded to it. Sadly, he passed away almost three years ago, September 4th, 2002.
