Adventures of the Coconut Caucus

We know nobody agrees on the 280 or so page bipartisan immigration reform package… but we can`t help but loose hope when the Minutemen can`t even agree with each other about the border fence they all support…..

BISBEE, Ariz. (AP) — A man who mortgaged his home in order to help the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps build a border fence in Cochise County is now suing the group. (so who mortgages their home for a fence? now granite countertops, gold faucets and a bathroom jacuzzi maybe, but for some barbed wire?)

Jim Campbell filed the complaint earlier this month in Maricopa County Superior Court.

Campbell accuses Minutemen officials of falsely promising to build a multi-layered Israeli-style security barrier on a southern Arizona ranch.

Campbell says he took out a loan on his home and donated 100-thousand dollars to the project last year. (Was that tax deductible?)

However, the ranch owners eventually rejected the plan in favor of a more traditional range fence.

Personally we don`t care what kind of fence you get as long as it stops Americans with TB from entering through Canada and spreading their germs everywhere….

The dozens of readers of this blog probably think Alberto GONEzales is the only Hispanic around, because of our intense coverage of him lately, and that is pretty bad considering he is not even a “true” member of the Coconut Caucus, but hey we need to get all the mileage we can out of him before he resigns for personal reasons and to spend more time torturing his family…

So what have the rest of our fearless leaders been up to lately? Here is a glimpse:

Loretta Sánchez takes on Nancy Pelosi… and wins…

Luis Gutiérrez represents Illinois, but he is everywhere else

Since Richardson López is sooooo well known by voters… he no longer needs to be on TV

Meanwhile…. Ciro Rodríguez and Henry Cuellar attend a funeral

Hilda Solís gets a Post Office named

Meanwhile, super busy Senator, Mel Martínez, now also in a campaign to promote gay marriage

Diaz Balart, the only Latino not driving a Honda... (or at least pretending to support Ford)

Despite representing New York, José Serrano still thinks he was elected in Vieques or something…

When he is not busy promoting Bush´s immigration plan, Carlos Gutiérrez is waiting for Castro to die…

Grace Napolitano does some complicated local water hearing thing for political reasons

In case you missed it…
