Because America LOVES your pain...

It's great TV, because it's not me...The Smoking Gun posted a document from the casting department at ABC, looking for ratings-winners for their pile of crap "Extreme Makeover-Home Edition". Although why finding a kid who cannot experience pain would be hard, I have no idea: If the ratings for "EM-HE" are so good, there must be MILLIONS of people who cannot experience pain.

Because Republicans are CLAMORING for those jobs...

Illegal Immigrants must GO! They're taking away all those high-paying, prestigious agricultural jobs away from tax-paying, law-abiding US citizens! (Because what we really need is American union labor to begin flooding the fields! That'll bring those pesky lettuce costs down!)
They must go, because obviously American high-tech companies are to blame for hiring so many foreigners to fill jobs that our fine American college graduates would be happy to fill! (Because those graduates really know their math and science!)
And, they must go because the last time I checked, America was for Americans! I mean, Americans that look like me. Not the ones that look like
them...
