How to Solve Illegal Immigration

I’ve made a vow not to post more than 3-4 YouTube videos a month on this blog unless they are ones that I create. I consider it to be lazy blogging or mimicking a sloth to just keep zapping the “post it” button on YouTube and sharing it with everyone.

But the new episode of The Pinky Show merits being posted here. After an absence of more than two months, Pinky is back and brings in her wise friend Daisy to provide the most intelligent analysis I’ve seen to date on the immigration “debate”. What a pathetic commentary on contemporary journalism that a cartoon cat has far more intelligent insight on this issue than CNN, the New York Times and The Nation combined. Too much of the media thinks that balanced news or a debate means bringing in opposing sides to scream at each other. Sometimes you do need an analysis like this with a decided slant to move true discourse and understanding forward.

Momento de Miguel - Hey Max

Although I could be offended that Miguel had an English language lyric for this song, the whole point is that it is broken, immigrant English. It came out around the time he started speaking out against the "wall" to "protect" the U.S. from Mexico and that inhuman piece of sewage known as the Patriot Act. The lyric, since it is actually a bit hard to understand is: "...you can be a souvenir, you can be a perfect idiot, not in here, at home ..."

The stop-motion approach is not unlike Junk-Mation, and it's worth it to go to the end when he is kissing two guys.
