A little worried that it’s all Sotomayor all the time, immigrant rights groups announce they’re forming a new coalition to help the current coalition push the issue of immigration reform.
Reform Immigration For America purports to bring all the interested parties together for the good of the immigrants. That’s nice and all, but how seriously can the beaners take a group called RIFA?
For the Spanish impaired, RIFA means raffle.
Is that the image these groups want to conjure up? That immigration reform is a LOTTERY?!!!
We hear there was some fierce internal discussion about this, but apparently all the letterhead had been signed off on, and changing it would cost too much money (apparently no one realized the whole RIFA nonsense until someone who came late to a meeting started laughing, not realizing it was FOR REAL), or so says the Humpty Dumpty brain trust that insisted on keeping it like that.
Of course, RIFA is real close to RISA — laughter -which is good, because this RIFA silliness is a JOKE.
The place where long speeches by fake ambassadors and non-binding long winded resolutions go to die…yes the OAS!
Cuba Readmitted To OAS “Without Conditions”
NESTOR IKEDA, AP
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras — The Organization of American States voted by acclamation on Wednesday to revoke the 1962 measure suspending communist Cuba, overturning a landmark of the Cold War in the hemisphere.
“The Cold War has ended this day in San Pedro Sula,” said Honduran President Manuel Zelaya immediately following the announcement. “We begin a new era of fraternity and tolerance.”
The action doesn’t mean Cuba will return to the 34-member body that helps coordinate policies and mediates disputes throughout the Americas.
Cuban officials have repeatedly insisted they have no interest in returning to an organization they consider a tool of the United States.
David Ortiz’s putrid 2009 numbers — .185, 1 HR, 18 RBI, 48 strikeouts — don’t qualify for a government bailout, as his statistics translate to an approximate worth on the free agent market of negative $5.2 million. At least he’s more valuable than Delmon Young.
So what is the likelihood of Dominican taxpayers offering to bail him out?
Fast forward to nowadays, and six pro-independence Puerto Ricans show up to the same place, this time they come in peace, an incoherent peace, but in peace nonetheless. They unfurled Puerto Rican flags and a bunch of signs IN SPANISH. Naturally WE know the signs said “111 Years of Colonialism is Shameful” and “End U.S. Occupation of Puerto Rico Now.” But because the signs weren’t understood by the same legislators they’re trying to convince, their message went nowhere. And on top of that, the signs were barely legible.
They were about to talk about colonialism when of course, the police show up and arrest them, charging them with disorderly conduct. There’s a rumor of an added charge of “looking Mexican” and therefore inciting panic.
They were released and ordered to show up in court at a later date.
THE GOOD NEWS: This has NOTHING to do with the swine flu….
