States stepping up to tackle immigration laws. It's about friggin time. It seems Georgia and Colorado have found the 10th Amendment. The feds have no intention of fixing this problem at the national level. Bush thinks he can garner more Hispanic voters by pandering to them and the Democrats know they are the party of illegal immigrants. Small business owners don't want this either. They love cheap labor who can't complain for fear of being fired or turned in to ICE. (That might be tricky as they might ask how he came to employ said illegal worker in the first place).

This is exactly the right approach. Put the states to work to solve the problem. California is not, and never will be serious about the problem. However, Colorado and Georgia (?) are. I didn't realize there was such a serious problem with illegal immigration in Georgia. Colorado has been miffed about this and making noise about it for nearly a decade now.

Will Tejas and Nueva Mexico follow suit? Or will they assume the California ostrich pose?

Take it to the bank prediction: Neither Governor Doubtfire nor the State Assembly in Delaware will do anyting regarding this matter.

For Gerard

 Many moons ago, I started reading blogs and shortly thereafter I started reading them.  I became discouraged because I read many writers, far more talented than me and the ease with which they elucidated the very points I wanted to make but so much more elegantly and completely that I just gave up.    Gerard of American Digest was one such writer.  His facility with prose and his ability to evoke emotion was remarkable.  I linked to him once with my nascent blog and he was kind enough to reach out to me and thank me for the link.  I literally had zero readers.  Just like now.  But that was the measure of the man.  He took the time to reach out to me and genuinely thank me for the link.   The closest I ever had to meeting the man was meeting Morgan in person.  Morgan and Gerard were friends.  They had an evident mutual respect for their respective works.   I never met Gerard, didn't know the man personally but having read his work I had a sense of the man.  He's dying now.  If

So....the autism thing

Since April is nearly over and it's autism awareness month, I suppose I should talk a bit about it. I guess the best way to start is to rehash the story of How I Got Here. My oldest was born in 1999. Healthy, happy and so on. One peculiar thing he did as an infant was to avoid eye contact. Our doctor assured us it was because he was so young and his eyesight was undeveloped and he was probably focusing on something in the background that was more interesting. Besides, babies don't recognize faces for a few months after birth. Only later did we find out that our doctor was an idiot. He was 16 mos. old when his little brother was born and he was walking and making wishes known by pulling me or my wife by the hand to whatever he wanted etc. He was fascinated with the wheels on toys. If you gave him a truck he'd turn it over and spin the wheels and smile. Only later would I find out this is a major warning sign. This was our first born and what the hell did I know?
