FREAKY DEAKY FRIDAY - #F10














Something more to think about:

Los Angeles on the way to becoming a ‘THIRD WORLD CITY


Los Angeles is well on it’s way to becoming a “Third World City”, and if our elected officials don’t get their act together soon, the United States will become a “Third World Country”, and a whole lot sooner then most people may think.

Immigrants, legal and illegal make up half of L.A.’s workforce, and one-third of the immigrants have not graduated from high school and 60% cannot speak English fluently, according to the Migration Policy Institute.

Thus, the immigrants are not equipped to fill the fasted-growing occupations in the State of California, such as computer software engineering and nursing, and guess what, as the so-called baby boomers reach retirement age, this exact same pattern will spread like wildfire across the rest of the United States.

According to the US Census Bureau, in a report last year, predicted that by 2050, (assuming our country lasts that long) minorities will make up half of all residents across America. The largest increase in the numbers of minority residents has been in Los Angeles and Riverside in California, Dallas and Houston Texas, and New York.

Our Good Neighbors to the South, caught stealing White House BlackBerries

A Mexican Embassy attaché was caught on camera “five fingering” several White House BlackBerries during the recent meeting in New Orleans between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Rafael Quintero Curiel, the lead press advance person for the Mexican Delegation took between six or seven of the handheld devices from a table, where everyone entering the room was required to leave their cell phones, BlackBerries and other such devices, outside a special room in the hotel where the Mexican delegation was meeting with President Bush earlier this week.

Secret Service officials viewed videotape taken by surveillance cameras which showed Quintero Curiel making off with the BlackBerries. Curiel managed to make it all the way to the airport before Secret Service officers caught up with him. At first, he denied taking the BlackBerries, but after the agents showed him the video, Curiel claimed it was all an accident, then claimed diplomatic immunity and left the US with the Mexican delegation.

Mexican Embassy spokesman Ricardo Alday, claims that Curiel was asked to tender his resignation once he arrived back in Mexico City, and will be responsible for explaining his actions to American authorities.

Well, strong fences make good neighbors, don’t you think?
