I think this is a funny take on the "immigration debate."
I'm sorry that you will have to click on the link. I tried to get some code to embed the video here, but it was written wrong and I didn't know how to fix it.
Trust me, this video is well worth watching!
Just click the freaking link!

Dubya and Libya
If I lost a loved-one on in this tragedy, I would be renouncing my citizenship right now and moving to Canada. I feel so sorry for the people who's worlds were torn apart and now have to deal with this.
Let me set the scene for you as I see it. There is this country with a dictator who organized terrorists to bomb a plane and kill 259 people (many of them American, including 35 college students returning home to Syracuse University). He has harbored terrorist training camps, had the most devious and effective nuclear development program (until the UN paid him $$$ to stop), and is know to be cruel and torturous to his own people.
Based on our foreign policy of recent years, you might think we are planning to invade his country soon. Wrong. We are lifting our sanctions against them as fast as we can, and we are throwing ourselves headlong into becoming best buddies with them (planning to open an embassy there, renew diplomatic relations, increase trade for things like oil).
Trust me, the families of the Lockerbie victims are pissed. Wouldn't you be if you were in their shoes?
Sorry about the downer of a post, but for some reason this just stuck with me all day, and my heart really and truly goes out to all the people touched by this. In my mind, the fact that it happened 18 years ago doesn't make it any less important. All of us who have lost loved ones know that while we may get better at coping with time, we never stop loving and missing those we lose.
