I know it's not PC, but I'll say it: this really annoys me

All that shit costs a lot of money, and we're paying for it. I can't express *fuck you* large enough.

.........end mini rant.

*Chingate*

Well, at least we can all share the misery equally at "For the Caution of Health".gov! http://hotair.com/archives/2014/01/1...glish-version/

(Well, I'd personally translate "CuidadoDeSalud.gov" more as "Be careful of health" (with "be careful" as in "caution, be careful and avoid health"))

Well, when was the last time you actually had to press 1 for English? Just about every play I call now says to press 8 for spanish, and just continues on in English.

Apparently the poster is a misprint then:

That would be referring to, say a work visa. It is illegal to hire illegal immigrants. You have to run their social security number before you can hire them.

Ronin, didn't your Army buddies have some foreign-born spouses? Have you ever talked to immigrants who fled Eastern Europe in the 80s and 90s? For that matter, almost anyone who fled Western Europe as it slow-rolled its way toward their current Socialist structure would give you an earful. There's a gentleman down here in C Springs who immigrated in from Ghana -- he knew Obama personally in college and will talk your ear off about how worthless the guy is and how much it means to be an American citizen and how America has been (until recently) the leading light of the world.
