PRESIDENT SENDS TOKEN TROOPS TO BORDER

Responding to increasingly loud calls for action on the Mexican border and illegal immigration issues, President Obama will send “up to” 1,200 National Guard troops to deal with the situation. This news comes as Arizona Governor Jan Brewer turns up the heat on the White House to do something about the problem.

COMMENTS:
Let’s do the math. 1,200 troops… “Up to” is an important hedge. It could be one, it could be 20, but it will not be over 1,200. Taking 1,200 working eight-hour shifts with no days off, that’s 400 per shift. The border is 1,969 miles long, according to Wikipedia. That’s roughly one guardsman to every five miles, assuming they are not watching porn with their friends at the SEC or EPA. (Sorry to my friends in the Guard, but I had to take the shot. After all, Obama and his buddies have been intimating for days now that the Arizona cops don’t have brains enough to administer the new immigration law in that state). Frankly, we might as well send just one additional guardsman because one per five miles is somewhat equivalent to siphoning off 2,000 gallons of oil from the 100,000 gallon per day Gulf oil leak.

A. At issue is $1 million Kwame Kilpatrick was ordered to pay the city as a condition of his parole after pleading guilty in 2008 to obstruction of justice. He’ll be working as a Czar in the White House within days, if not hours.

Q. What’s with the stock market? (Abby ~ Clarksville, TN)
A. Dear Abby: Investors are starting to understand the perils of ObamaNomics, Greece and Europe.

Q. The Texas Rangers filed for bankruptcy? I thought the Bush family owned them. (Jesus – El Segundo, CA)
A. George W. did, but he sold his interest in the “Bush League” team in 1998 so he could run for the Presidency. I guess they’ll all have to saddle up and head back to patrolling the border and cleaning the beaches.
