Reading this post by Dave Neiwert, this jumped out at me:
The first thing that jumped into my mind was the Berlin Wall.
Note to Minutemen: Be careful what you wish for.
Of course, that's the sort of thing they'd probably like.

What, exactly, do they mean by “border security”? It’s hard to pin down the exact definition of a “secure border” – reflective of the fact that it is a coded phrase – but in the hands of various Congressional Republicans, what emerges is a fantasy portrait of a militarized fortress-style border with Mexico secured by a towering fence and the constant buzz of manpower patrolling it. In the immigration-reform bill passed by the Senate (but still bottled up in the House), the legislation requires construction of 700 miles of new double-walled border fence and 20,000 more Border Patrol agents to man it.

Good post ... but how do I reblog it easily to my blog? It has reblog buttons; yours doesn't.
(BTW, the word to prove I was not a robot is 'menswel'. Indeed.
I have no idea -- I'm not even sure what "reblog" means. Unless you're talking about pingbacks, which I don't seem to be geared for.
I normally just plop a link into a post saying "Look at this." Of course, being me, I usually make a comment of my own.
And I didn't even know you had to prove you're not a robot to post comments here. Obviously, I don't have to do that.
