Friday news roundup
- The front page of CNN reports that the Pentagon may be planning on helping secure the border against illegal immigrants. Why does this provide me with zero confidence? First of all, I'm not sure I'm fully on board with the idea of troops at our borders, but moreover, knowing this Defense Department, isn't there a good chance get confused and send troops to the Connecticut/New York border instead? Watch out, Danbury.
- President Bush will address the nation tonight regarding immigration, but I'm sure it's more geared around the most recent NSA silliness and the administration's belief that the American people need to see the President's face and receive some reassurance. Of what I have no idea. I'm planning a drinking game based around how many times the President will say some variation of: "Immigrants are a vibrant group and provide valuable contributions to our society".
- Paris Hilton has a video game. No, not a virtual sex game although I will say that there is definitely a market for that. She has a video game called "Jewel Jam", which while sounding like a porno title, has something to do with jewelry. Anyway, at an event to promote the game, Hilton appeared, called the game "DiamondQuest", and then left. That's hot.
- On a non-news related note, next week I plan on writing several substantive columns covering such issues as... Well, I have no idea, but they should be funny. Moderately funny, at least.
