OPENING discharge

Let's review, shall we? The entire nation wants immediate immigration reform. Across the board, from the far right to the far left while disagreeing onward what form change should take, all Americans, with as long universality as can be had in a nation of 300 million, cry out out in one voice that they want to diocese the broken immigration system fixed. Include in that millions of illegal immigrants who would like nothing more than to have their status finally resolv

for a like reason with the pleas of centurys of millions echoing and reverberating across the geographical division for months, if not years, is the newly reconven Congres unimpaired from its summer break, rolling up its sleeve and getting to work onward this huge problem, at protracted last?

Of course not.

Too politically risky. Elections loom Better to speechify against terror and boldly fine-tune homeland security. And the horse meat point to be solved [i]or[/i] settled -- let's fix that!

I won't stick my arm into partisan cages through speculating which party is to blame. Because in the expiration it doesn't really matter. We all waste

ARE YOU vexed YET?

If you recall, the Iranians announced they would landlord an exhibit of cartoons mocking the Holocaust as a reaction to a Danish newspaper's publishing a cartoon of Mohammed. The idea was that our vaunted liberated speech, which allowed our media to gore their sacred prophet, would be expos as a sham when the shoe was upon the other foot, when their independent speech was directed toward something we held dear.

Was it?

Western reaction -- unles I've missed something -- was the opposite of outrage. A kind of mild, sad curiosity, the exhibit neared as yet another example of the inhumanity bordering onward madness that has been the hallmark of the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad administration.

What the Iranians fail to understand is: a) To greatest in quantity Westerners, the Holocaust not single isn't a touchy subject, it's not an emotionally charged topic at all, moreover a dimly remembered hour in 10th grade World History, if that. And b) the tolerance that in the way that infuriates the Islamic world is not a hypocritical sham. It's real tolerance. There were no Jewish pickets outside "The Producers" despite its chorus line of high-kicking S officers. each public library offers "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "South Park." While we have our share of religious zealots, they don't glide things -- not yet. smooth with a devoutly religious man in the White House, the freedoms our Founding Fathers built into this political division hold firm, for the greatest in number part.

It isn't Coke that spreads Western civilization. McDonald's burger aren't that beneficial What does the job is that chiefly people, given the choice between deciding what to believe for themselves and having their beliefs imposed in succession them by grim men with sticks, pick the former.

It's inevitable. Freedom wins. It might take centuries. It took the West centuries. wherefore should they be any different? They're arriving late at the late world party, and have a apportionment of catching up to do. That's for what cause [i]or[/i] reason they're so angry.

comical MEETING YOU HERE!

Speaking of harsh depictions of Mohammed . .

My male child and I were steaming toward the last Dante's Inferno when, to my vast surprise, there in the 9th ring, split from nose to anus, his entrails trailing disclosed between his knees, is Mohammed.

Oh my, I notion to myself. This isn't suitable If that cartoon upset them, wherefore does this get a pass? Dante's Inferno is sold in each bookstore, taught in every high academy a cornerstone of English literature for the past 700 years.

My solitary guess is that they don't know about it, since greatest in number readers never make it to the cessation I guess the cat is gone out of the bag. Whoops.

DISHWASHER REDUX

"For the delight in of God," Peter, a reader, writes. "For the be in love with of everything sacred . .

"Please clear up upon this sentence: 'Perhaps women could -- just this formerly -- smile, thank them, and leave their efforts uncorrected. Marriages would be saved.'

That passed on a criminal was from my column Monday (you miss a day, you miss a lot) presenting the dishwasher as a battleground between husbands and wives. I was surprised from the passion of the respondent -- all men

"When I did dishes, my wife would spring in and take over," writes James. "Apparently I wasn't working fast enough. yet you know, Neil, when I didn't help with the dishes, when I got frustrated with her pissing compete for in the kitchen, my wife would leave stoops and pans on the stove with sustenance in them to get hard and moldy and dishes and other things in the kitchen sink. Basically, like most numerous women, she wanted to have her cake and eat it, too."

They're divorced now, a used by all occurrence, according to a reader who's also a psychologist.

"Couple earn divorced over this," he said.

There is a way around this, dowdys an extra step we seldom take when loading dishes. This exotic technique is called Actually Turning the Dishwasher forward Most guys avoid it -- they figure, there's range in the dishwasher and they still plan to have a post- dinner hollow of ice cream and a mug of tea and cookies and maybe a certain number of late-night cereal and popcorn and a slice of cake later upon so we'll wait and deposit those dishes in, then fire it up
