TV Appearances

For those of you, like me, who follow the pending legislation on immigration issues via NumbersUSA, you'll want to catch Roy Beck (President, NumbersUSA) & Rosemary Jenk (Director of Government Relations, NumbersUSA) on TV tomorrow.

Here's the schedule:

6:15 a.m. EDT (5:15 a.m. CDT) -- Fox & Friends on Fox Cable: ROSEMARY JENKS will be doing an interview about the LA Times story on corruption in the Department of Homeland Security and about the border report from the House Homeland Security Committee that came out last week.

8-8:30 a.m. EDT -- Washington Journal on C-SPAN 1: ROY BECK is scheduled to be one of two commentators on the role of immigration as an issue in the November elections. Viewer phone-ins. Pedro Echevarria is supposed to be the moderator. Simon Rosenberg of the Democratic Network is to be the other commentator.

7-8 p.m. EDT (6-7 p.m. CDT) -- Lou Dobbs' Broken Borders Special on CNN: ROY BECK will on a panel at a live town hall meeting in San Antonio. This immediately follows Dobbs' regular news hour. Also on the panel are leaders of two Hispanic activist groups (MALDEF & LULAC) and FAIR (the Federation for American Immigration Reform). Several Congressmen and other experts are expected to make comments, so it promises to be a crowded agenda.

Sorry for the short notice on these -- All three came up late today, so we weren't given a lot of notice.

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...

Pol Watchers Responds

I think it's important for anyone with a voice on the internet to present all sides of an issue. In that spirit, I am posting the response I received via email from John Stamper of the Lexington Herald-Leader to the piece I wrote about censorship on blogs: "Your post about Pol Watchers does not contain the entire thread of comments, as your blog states. If you go to the post in question , you will see that there has been no effort to eliminate comments just because they question Jonathan Miller and Mark Nickolas. Plenty of them still remain. However, as stated in my comment on Pol Watchers, we're not going to allow people to use the blog as a forum for name calling. It's that simple. Check around, it's a pretty common policy. For example, blogs at WashingtonPost.com have this policy: 'User reviews and comments that include profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site. Additionally, entries that are unsi...
