Economic refugees from a country whose politicians are all Mexicans might be excused for not rising en masse to seat paisanos in local government. Striclty speaking, though, either preference would be prejudice.

I sent a letter to the editor of SBNP regarding a factually challenged Dr. Laura essay. It wasn't printed. When I bother to send a letter to the editor of a local paper, it gets printed about 85% of the time. Can't say I blame SBNP, though. Money is honey.

Please, anyone, comment on Claire's recent years! I last saw her around 1991 (chance encounter). I was informed of her passing too late to catch her memorial service, and this obit is all I know of her later years. There must be many locals who lost track of her after HS or college.
Did she change her name from Jean Kay Sangster in honor of a certain Claire, or did the name itself signify something to her? I won't ask what happened to her ski-jump, button nose! :-) But her new one looked dignified.
Thank you.

I was her paperboy when she was about 11 years old, and often saw her batting a tennis ball against the wall of her house with serious intent. In high school she and I played tennis in the park, and she beat me handily, before breaking my little heart, ha ha.
At San Jose State she felt guilty that she could always get an A on term papers that she researched and wrote up on the same night, while some of her classmates worked for weeks on theirs for lesser grades. She had gotten through Westmont in three years, summa cum laude. Quite the ace at La Cumbre Jr High too, ha ha.
It was awe-inspiring to witness a teenager playing a church organ. She had a fine sense of grandeur. It's wonderful that she was able to enjoy and share music as a career.
Please pardon the following personal note if the moral is cliche. Jean (as I knew her) asked a family member about me around seven years ago, but I did not enquire as to where she might be found, due to a bit of attitude about being the bug on her windshield in 1976. Needless to say, I feel asinine today for not having honored the positives with a courtesy call. It smarts. You heard it here last.
She leaves behind a wealth of memories, that's for sure.

I want all corrupt politicians to look like me.

Ah, yes, then there's the half-Israeli owned shipping company that skipped out of its lease and vacated WTC a few days before the attack. Also, Israeli company Odigo reported to law enforcement that they were forewarned of danger.
President W lamented that 140 Israelis lost their lives in the tragedy, but try sorting by Residence then Country at http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memoria... and read the one Israeli name, of an airline passenger.
Savor the sociology.

I don't believe in controlled demolition of WTC or a missile striking the Pentagon. Atta and his crew did it, but they were monitored by Israeli "art students" and "movers" who were confirmed to be intelligence agents. Also, there were several cases of FBI agents warning their superiors about the suspicious flight students, but they were ordered to drop their investigations. Fox News' Carl Cameron reported that FBI and CIA officials told him that investigation of Israeli espionage was considered career suicide.
What kind of sociology and psychology was Jon Stewart referring to when he said "My people are very tribal"? When Mr Netanyahu was asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations, he said "It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy'' [for Israel].
Israel is called our "ally" quite preposterously. Mainstream media hammered away endlessly with Ahmadinejad's mistranslated remark "wipe Israel off the map" even though MEMRI (pro-Israel translators) and others had debunked it. Holocaust is hallowed to Hollywood, but whoever heard of Holodomor? The memory hole is full of hard facts that are inconvenient to Jewry.
Raving denunciations fall on whomever breaks The Rules, even when positive ethnic generalizations are made. Jewish influence is an "ancient canard," "regurgitated" by primordial antisemites. Most Jews spell antisemite unhyphenated, because the actions of Semites never have anything to do with alleged hatefulness, according to many titled Jews.
It seems to me that there is a lot of psychology and sociology that few dare discuss. Oh, well. "Shove off already, Israel" may suffice.

PS, Jews eventually experienced a modicum of persecution in USSR (who didn't?), but in the early days of communism churches and priests were destroyed wholesale, while synagogues and rabbis were off-limits.

Al Qaeda can plot from any McDonald's in the world, if they want to.
I think that if we disengage from Middle East nastiness, for example by dumping our "ally" Israel, then things over there will improve overall in the long run, with no further cost in American lives and indebtedness. Why would Israel compromise on territory, when Capitol Hill visits AIPAC en masse every year to press forehead to floor? Obama has the right idea, but no clout. Et tu Brute?
BTW, Pakistan's counterterrorism chief said that interrogated jihadis "always talk about" Israel / Palestine when revealing their motivations.
Onward with glasnost and perestroika, comrades!
