The finishing touches are underway at the Stewart County Detention Center.

You may remember, the private jail sat unfinished for four years until
Corrections Corporation of America was able to finalize a contract to
detain illegal aliens


This facility will hold over fifteen hundred illegal aliens with
violations ranging from speeding to some violent crimes. But once
they're here, it's up to immigration and customs enforcement to
determine where they go next.

The detention center will contain four courtrooms, where based on their
offenses, detainees will either be deported or deemed capable of
citizenship.

Watch the latest CNN interview of Sheriff Arpaio, the one arresting
and jailing Illegals in Arizona. ICE and the Feds will not pick them
up and ship them across the border. They refuse to do it. So Arpaio is
bussing them down to the BP himself, who do then take them back
across. And the Feds are actually threatening Arpaio about it.

Reminds me of federal threats about Medical Marijuana here in
California. They threatened, they did some things, but public opinion
just wasn't with them and the pot is still available for sale at the
Cooperatives.

Until the Feds completely change their act, which is unlikely under
Bush, Detention Centers like this will be useless. It's good they
built it, we will need it later, but for now they are only a free meal
and a cot for mojados. SOP is they will be released out the front door
at the order of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

I was reading some comic book last night.

Comix have changed a lot since "the old days" when you bought them for a
quarter or 35 cents. Nowadays they art may be much better, the printing
certainly is far better, and the writing may be top-flight and
comparable to or in excess of the quality one expects of a fine literary
novel.

One of them pointed out that there's no need to think about Massive
Global Conspiracies or Area 51 or MKULTRA or any of that stuff. One
interpretation makes a great deal of sense and it's so earthy, so
prosaic, that according to Occam's Razor, it's the most likely explanation.

The theory states that the present administration is, simply said, the Mob.

That's right, old school organized crime -- says the theory -- is
running the country.

That theory is simple, and explains everything.

It explains the laws violated, it explains the end-runs around the
Constitution, it explains the no-bid contracts to Halliburton and other
outfits generally agreed to be somewhere between the old Mob-dominated
but generally semi-legitimate Union outfits like the Detroit auto
industry of the 1980s, and the openly-criminal rum-runners of the 1920s.

Basically, the country's "on the take" at most levels of government.
Idealists and people who actually believe in the laws are being
marginalized. The insanity of the Senate's counterproposal to H.R 4437
might be viewed -- by adherents to the "Bush Is MAFIA" theory -- as the
equivalent of repealing Prohibition to disempower the rum-runners.

Any thoughts on this, folks?
