Even the federal government can't bring itself to do anything about "undocumented workers," and Sheriff Ken Fries wants to track the activities of "illegal aliens"?
The Allen County Sheriff's Department is one of the first in Indiana to track crimes committed by illegal aliens.
But will it translate into helping rid the community of that unwanted influence?
Cool. Next time I have an extended stay in the hospital, I can have my IV tube and YouTube, too:
INDIANAPOLIS -- First, people got used to being able to surf the Web via free wireless connections as they sipped lattes at coffee shops.
Now, in many cases, patients and visitors to hospitals can whip out their laptops or other wireless devices and enjoy the same free Internet access.
Shocking, simply shocking:
LONDON (Reuters) - Rock stars -- notorious for their "crash and burn" lifestyles -- really are more likely than other people to die before reaching old age.
A study of more than 1,000 mainly British and North American artists, spanning the era from Elvis Presley to rapper Eminem, found they were two to three times more likely to suffer a premature death than the general population
Freedom of speech. OK. Religion in the public square. Check. Upholding the values of the First Amendment. On board. But what about when the sermonizing is amplified?
Last week, a U.S. senator's life fell apart in public, and there was hardly a shred of sympathy for him. An 18-year-old beauthy pageant contestant was savaged to the nation's great flee. The U.S. attorney general gave a resignation speech in which he felt compelled to disparage his father's whole life. GeorgeWill:
Good lord, what ignorant drivel:
You'd think it would be impossible for a Democrat these days to come with a plan for extending government's reach that hasn't been discussed to death already. So I have to give John Edwards credit. He is scaring the bejeebers out of me:
A solution brilliant in its simplicity; if too many students don't meet the standards, lower the standards:
At Metropolitan State College in Denver, half the new freshmen don't meet upcoming state requirements for the number of high school courses needed to get into public colleges and universities.
At the University of Northern Colorado, 22 percent of the freshman class fall short of the requirements. And among Colorado State University freshmen, the figure is 17 percent.
Woody Guthrie is one of my musical heroes, but he was, alas, a hard-core Communist. "This Land Is Your Land" was not a sentimental song of American idealism; it pretty much presented the Stalinist view of land and property. Many leftists who came of age in the 1920s and 1930s, it is said, became party members or avid followers of the Soviet Union out of some misguided sense of collectivist altruism. For many, this was true.
Well, duh. Give kids less time to forget stuff, and they will forget less stuff:
While it's the start of the school year for most U.S. students, children at Barcroft Elementary have been at their desks for nearly a month — and they're fine with that.
