Spent two days with friends and family and talked and listened to at least forty people. Without exception the main topic was illegals. The same would not hold true in Washington, natch. Everyone was asking the same questions: who benefits?, won't Americans take the jobs if the wages are decent?, if sixty people can shut down the border it means that Bush is violating the law and lying to us, isn't that so? Here in SoCal there is no other topic. I'm sure the same is true thoughout the Southwest.

One other point about Charlize Theron and the apple bong. Does she look better HERE, or does she look better HERE? Enquiring minds want to know.
