Keep it up, Dems
0I don’t know about you, but the spectacle of our elected representatives (Dems in particular) standing to cheer Mexican President Calderon as he lectured the American people on the injustice of Arizona’s new immigration law was infuriating. And a bit nauseating.
That’s just the sort of behavior that’s going to garner them some serious comeuppance come November. I can’t wait to vote.
Anyway, I fired off a missive to Senators Warner and Webb here in VA to register my disgust with both Calderon and the Democrats’ behavior. It will be interesting to see if/how they respond. Here’s what I wrote:
The Honorable Senator Jim Webb
248 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510Dear Senator:
It is difficult for me to convey the utter disdain I have for Mexican President Calderon’s comments from the House floor today. He has neither the right nor the place to lecture United States citizens on immigration law enforcement — particularly when Mexico’s own immigration laws are so stringent and, I daresay, merciless.
The only thing more contemptible than President Calderon’s odious comments was the standing ovation Democrats gave him in response.
I would like to ask, Senator, if you were among those who stood to cheer. I hope not. But the courtesy of a reply to that specific question would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Robert R. Monti

Hey, Robert, It’s Your Birthday!
0Happy Birthday, buddy! I can hardly believe you’re 6 already. You are an amazing boy and a gift from God, and I’m so glad I get to be your dad.
And now, straight from outer space…
Bloomberg spews venom and vapidity on CBS News
0Oops. I was so furious over this that when I heard Katie Couric, I thought Today show. And I fired off a missive to Bloomberg’s office with that error in it. A quick-tempered man…
Oh, well. Below is the letter with corrections. I suppose Bloomberg’s office will write me off as an idiot. Another testament to the necessity of proofing.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg
City of New York
253 Broadway
New York, NY 10007Mayor Bloomberg:
Your recent comments on the CBS Evening News implicating foes of Obamacare in the attempted bombing on Times Square were contemptible in the extreme. It is most regrettable that you have chosen to equate those who ascribe to the values of our Founders with Islamic militants. It seems to me that one of those two groups has a clear track record of terrorist acts. Who, I ask, is more likely to detonate a car bomb in New York?
Your gratuitous and unwarranted slander of patriotic Americans was as fatuous as it was specious. Congratulations.
Sincerely,
Robert R. Monti

Big changes
0Well, I found out a short time ago that Blogger no longer supports FTP published blogs as of, well, today. This precipitated a hasty migration to WordPress. I have plans to redesign my blog, but I have no idea when this will occur. So you get to look at the stock WordPress template for a little while.
Stay tuned…
