Another Article I Won't Be Reading
| Immigration Reform Isn't Just About Numbers--It's About Skills, Too |
| Since immigrants are disproportionately poorly educated, any overhaul needs to focus on bringing in fewer but more talented people. |
| DAVID FRUM |
Yeah, because all these folks had with them in the 1800's was their DISSERTATION RESEARCH:
And really, Mr. Frum, Canadians like you don't need competition from overseas. You act like there's a shortage of former speechwriter hacks we need to resolve.
My Proposed Compromise with Republicans
So all over Morning Jehosephat today the meme is compromise: We give you a Minimum Wage Hike for you passing the Keystone XL pipeline.
No, really.
"Along with Keystone, Republicans are interested in offering amendments blocking regulations on coal, and boosting liquid natural gas exports."
Coal, fracking and Keystone. And we'll LET you give the working poor a raise?
My counterproposal:
We let you pretend you are sorta not against and kinda for the minimum wage hike because you stop blocking it.
That's it. That's the compromise.
No, really.

Blue Gal tries car shopping.
Ed note: This post is not a spam catcher. :D
Hello! I'm a fifty year old mother of three and I am interested in that 2014 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta you have listed on Cars.com for $479,995.
My pediatrician recommends my children sit in the back seat until they reach the age of 12. I notice this car in the picture does not have a back seat. Is it because the back seat is optional? You really can't charge extra for a back seat with a price like that.
Also, if I get an eight year car loan at 2.9% interest that car will cost $5600 a month. I don't even begin to make that much, and besides, that's a lot of money for 3.6-second 60-mph time, which, you gotta admit, isn't all that great for a 731-hp car with 509 lb-ft of torque. I know, because I've done my research! But some information is missing. Tell me, does the Berlinetta have one of those automatic parallel park it by itself thingies? Because sometimes I have to parallel park at Junior Dude's orthodontist.
I hope we can work out something about the payments. How about my husband writes a number on a piece of paper and you check with your manager? That is, depending on the optional rear seat. Thanks!

Do these cookies make my progressivism look big?
I'm going to be one of the curmudgeons who said two weeks ago that Honey Maid's "This is Wholesome" campaign is over the top. The only "alternative" couple missing from the first ad was chandelier bondage aficionados. It felt like an overly eager attempt to catch a ride on the rainbow Oreo / Cheerios mixed couple bandwagon, and the art studio "response" stirs in an episode of Portlandia.
The response on social media at this point`to anything promoting "different family" is completely predictable: Wingnuts shout "not my values!" Everyone else shouts "Yeah Huh Our Values!" And meanwhile the BRAND NAME of the product is mentioned and endorsed a million times in the name of outrage.
Congratulations to the Madison Avenue geniuses who knew it would work, ("That hipster clicktivist dollar is a good dollar!") but are we really at the point where buying or boycotting a cookie/cereal/cracker is how we prove our politics? Really?
That said, hands off my Girl Scout Cookies, because, Sisterhood.
