	<description>x jeremy jarratt is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and roustabout. Also, something he calls a &#34;behavioral artist.&#34; (Not sure.) This is his latest home on teh internets - where he stores his swear words, when he&#039;s not hurling them at the sun in vain.</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>May I just take a moment of your time to point out that:</p>
<p>Every white (and non-American Indian) person living in the United States today is a descendant of debatably <em>illegal immigrants?</em> And that, while we&#8217;re on the topic, the non-white immigrants to this country were nearly exclusively brought here in chains by whites?</p>
<p>So just exactly what god damn right does anyone have to say that any human being is <em>illegal</em> or that they are <em>trespassers</em>?</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/haventohome/images/hh0041s.jpg" class="liexternal">The New Colossus</a></strong><br />
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,<br />
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;<br />
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand<br />
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame<br />
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name<br />
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand<br />
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command<br />
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.<br />
&#8220;Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!&#8221; cries she<br />
With silent lips. &#8220;Give me your tired, your poor,<br />
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,<br />
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.<br />
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,<br />
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!&#8221;<br />
<cite style="text-align:center;">-Emma Lazarus</cite></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Massive props to <strong>Karina Garcia</strong>, Political Chair of the Chicano Caucus at Columbia University, where she is a senior, for taking on that racist, slimey, pig-fucker Jim Gilchrist (founder of the anti-Mexican <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Minuteman_Project_Inc." rel="nofollow" class="liwikipedia">Minuteman Project</a>, a vigilante group which patrols the US-Mexican border, taking the law into its own shotgun-carrying hands).</p>
<p>Recently, he was at Columbia University, where his lap dogs kicked a student, who was passing in front of the stage, in the face. The resulting chaos, in which students waved banners and protested peacefully, was labeled by his hatemonger group (and, go figure, by FOXNews) as a &#8220;riot&#8221; by &#8220;thugs&#8221;! You can see a clip of this happening at the link below. Hopefully someone will post this to YouTube soon&#8230;</p>
<p>Check out the RealPlayer video of <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/11/1430231" class="liexternal">Gilchrist on the progressive syndicated program &#8220;Democracy Now!&#8221;</a> (<a href="http://play.rbn.com/?url=demnow/demnow/demand/2006/oct/video/dnB20061011a.rm&#038;proto=rtsp&#038;start=28:05" class="liexternal">128k stream</a>, <a href="http://play.rbn.com/?url=demnow/demnow/demand/2006/oct/video/dnB20061011a.rm&#038;proto=rtsp&#038;start=28:05" class="liexternal">256k stream</a>) where he abruptly cuts off a barely-begun debate as soon as he is asked a question. What a coward.</p>

<blockquote><p>Reuters confirmed that Mr. Maguire was granted conditional approval to write his book on Ms. Coulter&#8230; When asked what changed once the book was ready, a company statement pointed to Reutersâ€™ principles of â€œintegrity, independence and freedom from bias.â€</p></blockquote>
<p><em>So what is all this talk about Liberal media?</em> And before you point out that Mr. Maguire&#8217;s book may or may not be left of the dial, a book is one thing, but news is another thing entirely. By firing a guy for pointing out that Ann Coulter is &#8211; <em>duh!</em> &#8211; a mindless raving lunatic (and doing so in a perfectly legitimate venue), they are effectively supporting biased journalism of a far worse kind than that which could have ever conceivably come from Mr. Maguire himself.</p>
<p>And anyway, if pointing out that the Emperor* is wearing no clothes** makes you a traitor, then does that make unbiased journalists insurgents?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><small>* <em><sup>1</sup> Coulter</em>; or, <em><sup>2</sup> mainstream media in general</em><br />
** <em><sup>1</sup> is a blathering idiot</em>; or, <em><sup>2</sup> has no business presenting a blathering idiot&#8217;s foolish, inane lies as the truth</em></small></p>
