Morning Mail - 7.29.10

Pumpkin: The way it is now, you're taking the same risk as when you rob a bank. You take more of a risk, banks are easier. You don't even need a gun in a federal bank. I mean, they're insured, why should they give a fuck? I heard of this one guy, walks into a bank with a portable phone. He gives the phone to the teller, a guy on the other end of the line says, we've got this guy's little girl, if you don't give him all your money, we're gonna kill her.
Yolanda: Did it work?
Pumpkin: Fucking-A right, it worked. That's what I'm saying. Knucklehead walks into a bank with a telephone! Not a pistol, not a shotgun, but a fucking phone. Cleans the place out, doesn't even lift a fucking finger.
Yolanda: Did they hurt the little girl?
Pumpkin: I don't know, there probably never was a little girl in the first place. The point of the story isn't the little girl, the point of the story is, they robbed a bank with a telephone.

Not a lot of mail today…

Yesterday over dinner we talked about how our forefathers planned for each American to be in control of themselves and not have the government choose for them what they should and shouldn’t do. Most of our forefathers were Republican, that ideology led to states being able to decide for themselves what they would do and the laws to govern their states. And then you have Democrats who believe that the government should provide the support for the people. And they are the ones who believe in the government setting the direction and pace for the people. Le sigh, this is why we have two branches of the government, thank God.

So a federal judge overturned several key pieces of the Arizona Immigration legislation set to go in place today. Great news. Now get back to work. Be real, that job is not one that any American was willing to take anyway, I don’t know why you complaining. This is also my stance on why I don’t think America really plans to do anything about the immigration problem.

In other news, we are still not allowing any Cubans into America.

I don’t like when the government tells everybody what to do and what not to do, I think we should all be able to make some decisions on our own.

Kanye West is on twitter. I am not sure I would be able to follow him.

I think my cell phone is broke again.
