illegal immigrants...driving and education

OK, I'm pretty sure this post is not going to be well received among a few of my readers. But hey, what can I say, we can't always agree on everything. I am posting two links to some articles about allowing illegal immigrants to get special drivers licenses here in the state and another one to allow them to apply at local colleges as resident students as long as they have graduated from a local high school. Now here is where I may angervate (yes that is a word in my dictionary, I'm sure Webster just missed it) a few people. I am all for BOTH of them. Yes I am. If we are going to get illegal immigrants this far north (which we have) I want to make dayem sure they can drive well, and get an education.

Do I actually know some illegals to be saying something such as this? Yes I do. Good friends actually. And guess what folks........They Pay Taxes, just like everyone else. And they will never see a red cent of it back. They DO NOT get free health care, they pay insurance premiums like everyone else, and they can even get a mortgage to Purchase Houses. Imagine that!!

Now if you have issues with this, too bad. Adjust.

The first article about schooling can be found here. The second article about drivers licensing can be found here.

Wis. panel backs creation of domestic partnerships

This article pi$$es me off on so many levels. But I'll take it one point at a time.

1. In 2006, we the people of Wisconsin, approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman and outlawing anything "substantially similar" for gay couples.
By nearly 60%.
(So now you are going to go against what the majority wants. OK typical politics)

2. Would allow couples who register with their county register of deeds to jointly own property, inherit each other's assets and visit each other in the hospital, among other things
(register with the register of deeds? Are you a piece of property now, or what? You can already jointly own property, put someone in your will to inherit and visit each other in the hospital without some law giving you the right to do so!(idiots))

3.One study has estimated between 1,400 and 5,000 same-sex couples in Wisconsin would sign up for the registry in the first year. (that is a mighty big point spread folks. Especially out of the estimated 14,000 gay/lesbian couples in this state.) (So we should override the almost 60% of those who took the time to go out and VOTE IT DOWN, to pander to the possibly 30% who MIGHT register. That is up to 30% of 14,000, people, NOT 30% of the state's voters)

4.Partners would not have to testify against each other in court.
(Sounds more like a "married" couple to me already)

5.The relationships could be ended with a notice of termination. (This is the one that really blew my mind folks! If you want to end the relationship you just send a notice. Divorce isn't that easy, nor is it that CHEAP! You want the benefits of a married couple, without the legal hassles. I THINK NOT!!!)

You want the same rights as married couples??? Then by God, grow a set of balls, and fight for the whole dayem package! Don't you dare try and shove this piece meal down my throat, picking and choosing only the good parts and leaving the rest behind.

The whole P.O.S. article can be choked on here.

friday dinner

Tonight on the menu, we have garden fresh green beans, mac and cheese, and pork steaks liberally coated in zatarains fish fry seasoning. Yeah i know, pork isn't fish but that stuff is the cat's meow on just about any meat out there.

It's the weekend

It is officially the start of the weekend. Well for me anyhow. The last couple of days sucked weather wise. We have had several inches of rain. The front yard where I play fetch with the dogs is a partial swamp right now. Yesterday, after I got home from work we played fetch, in the rain. (fun) Today it was warm and the sun was shining . Although the yard is still a mess, it was a blast. The pup was pretty much body surfing for some of the throws. And he didn't even slide into the big maple tree once. I was impressed.
Tomorrow I plan on sleeping late. (at least 8) Then play catch up on laundry, work on organizing my music list some more (moving in on 12,000 songs), get new tires put on the jeep, then see what other trouble I can get into the rest of the weekend. (legally that is, shame on those of you who thought otherwise)
