If you don't secede at first, fight and fight again ...

     But what can you expect from such a timeless place of such beauty and separation from the rest of America, mixed up with a melting pot of people literally driven mad by the heat, then massaged with tourism dollars seizing them, for a few months, with perfect praise, in the winter. Doomed in 1912, they were, I believe, with a failure to lock into daylight savings time ... same year as the Titanic ... and a few decades before that, by a territorial history of genocide and hidden greed. And now, this, from a blogger at Salon.com ...

      "Just when you think that the leaders of Arizona could not demonstrate a higher degree of lunacy, they always manage to come up with something crazier.  Today, the AZ Legislature introduced a new bill (SB 1433) that essentially allows Arizona to decide for itself which U.S. federal laws and regulations will be enforced.  As E.J. Montini, of the Arizona Republic, said today, SB 1433 is 'a bill that would allow Arizona to secede from the union without having to do so officially.' ”

Aid for Egypt continues: Day Three, the part that says, "Hey, are you going to let a few mamalukes rush through and ruin the party? Hell no, passive, peaceful resistance is Ghandi's way, Thoreau's simpler day ... and Pink Floyd just might play, if we can just withhold the almighty dollar, aye!"

Do they need their papers in Muskogee?

If you thought perhaps one of the perennial voices of the crusty old silent majority, Merle Haggard, who once sang "Okie from Muskogee" and the other counter-counter culture hit of his period, opposing the Vietnam War anti-war movement, "The Fightin' Side of Me," might certainly be feeling like a caged old country crooner who might support Arizona's new immigration bill.
If you think that ... think again.
According to the seventh paragraph of a Page 56 story in the May 6-12, 2010 edition of New Times Phoenix, written by Martin Cizmar, Haggard lawyered up and out against the new law:
"I think it's unconstitional. You know, you see the guy on TV ... the Mexican kid that's fixing to leave home and go fight (in Iraq), and he was born here and if he wasn't in uniform, they'd profile him. That's not right ... There certainly something that needs to be done about the border ... there's no doubt about that ... but you can't just jump up and criminalize everybody."
Will any celebrity with an opinion on the topic ever speak in favor, as opposed to against the new law? Where's Willie Nelson? Arizona needs a new jingle for a new marketing image to fix this immigration blowout mess ...
For some suggestions on how Gov. Jan Brewer might pursue this marketing campaign, see ...
