June 14th 2007

Immigration
According to a survey by Rasmussen Report , 70% of voters would favor an approach that focuses exclusively on securing the border. Those in favor of the reform should not be discouraged though , maybe it means people want to secure the border so the 12 million illegals don’t leave and stay in the country.

President Bush had lunch with Republican senators in an attempt to revive the immigration reform bill stalled in the senate. Things didn’t go well for president Bush, some senators said they would rather revive via mouth to mouth resuscitation the TB guy than the immigration bill.

NRCC
The National Republican Congressional Committee is expected to raise only half of what was raised last year. Apparently the NRCC knows that 2007 has been economically rough for Republicans as they spent most of their money buying books against Hilary and jewelry to their wives to forget about the DC madam.

Bush
Press secretary Tony Snow denied president Bush had his watch stolen in Albania and said that Bush put it in his own pocket. Apparently it is normal for the president to put the watch in his pocket as prevention ; a procedure that he developed throughout the years after shaking hands with so many congressmen.

Pork
Chinese inflation rose to its highest level in more than two years in May, driven by soaring prices for pork due to a pork shortage. The US has offered some help, apparently the Democrats are willing to pass a bunch of bills with enough pork to feed the entire Asia.

Falkland Islands
The Queen, Baroness Thatcher and Tony Blair gathered today to mark the 25th anniversary of the Falkland islands' liberation. One of the biggest celebrity guests was Gore Verbinski, director of "Pirates of the Caribbean III" who was at the meeting recruiting people for the next sequel.

Starbucks
A great number of recent published books have numerous Starbucks references because several authors have turned the coffee chain's nearly 8,000 U.S. locations into their writing spaces. Other skeptics believe the coffee references in the books is just another attempt to keep the reader from falling asleep.
