All in all...

Senate endorses border wall. Sigh. Apparently to be a senator you don't need no education.

Does anybody else think this is a stupid idea? While I admit it will be really cheap to build, it's just dumb. The only thing it will accomplish is keeping Mongolians out, and are we really concerned about Mongolians? I'm not...anymore. Thanks Dr. Racy!

Originally envisioned in 1939 by Jean-Paul Sartre and approved in 2006, The Wall is designed to keep Mexicans out of America. Or keep Americans in. I'm not really clear on that. My only hope is that they tack on about $50,000 to deal with the very angry Zombie Reagan we'll have in about 26 years.

Do we really need this? I've been to the Mexican border and there's already a wall there. It's made of rusty, jagged sheet metal. That's enough to keep me from heading south for Haitian cigars. And I think that if you've got your tetanus shots, you've earned entry to the US. Albeit over a heap of oxidized iron. Knowing what "ozidized iron" is should also allow entry into the US, after a severe paddling of course.

Isn't immigration what created this country? Why are we working so hard to keep people out? It seems that people are just assuming Mexican immigrants will create problems. Why not spend the money preventing/punishing problems which might occur rather than assuming they will? Or maybe spend it on education, healthcare, not wars in Irag or the dozens of other good things we apparently don't need.

Things just got a little too serious for this blog o' mine. But it'll continue, so deal with it.

If you ask me, this wall is roughly 1500 miles (2400 km for the European reader my tracker has identified) too far south. That's right, we need a wall between the US and Canada. Those canucks are destroying the fabric of American society. Their obsession with hockey, flapjacks and poutine will be the downfall of this country. The streets will run amber with Molsen!

"Look at us! We are a clean, industrious people with low poverty and a high standard of living." "Regardez-nous! Nous sommes des peuples propres et travailleurs avec la basse pauvreté et un niveau élevé la vie." Is that what you really want?

Sure, there are good Canadians. Chris, Bear - I'm looking at you guys. Just like there are good genetic diseases: sickle cell conveys a malaria resistence, after all. Nothing is ever entirely bad. So what I'm saying is that Canadians are the sickle cell anemia of North America. We certainly don't need them, but they'll help from time to time.

We can let a few in on a case by case basis, with strict Shatner-esque standards. Unfortunately, that might lead to immigrant smuggling. I can already see little hybrid cars full of well-dressed moose-lovers speeding across the border towards freedom. Jibbly.

In summary: Mexican Wall = bad idea. Canadian Wall = excellent idea. But we don't really need it. If we tell them to stay out, they'll just stand by the border politely requesting entry. Suckers...

We should also blow up Quebec. I think we can all agree on that.

So...they're starting a giant construction project on the boarder to keep mexicans out. Who do they suppose is going to be building this wall?

Hence the "really cheap to build" comment. The key is tricking them into doing it. Hmm...

FYI, the sheet metal wall is only a small strip along the border. Most of it looks like this: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/images2/azborder.jpg

Saul! Long time no hear. What're you up to?

That second picture makes me proud to be an American. It's so patritoic.

There's still a risk of getting scratched slightly. That would keep me away.
