National Lampoon to Make Al Qaeda Spoof

June 12th, 2007 by Quan Tranh

National Lampoon is running a survey on their proposed film 72 Virgins. This looks like it’s going to be a masterpiece of comedy.

National Lampoon’s 72 Virgins
Two idiot college students unwittingly join an Al Qaeda cell in order to get the 72 virgins promised to terrorists when they die.

I’m all for this.  Comedy of any time is great, though another installment of The Naked Gun or Austin Powers would be even better.

Chris Krok Protest Over

June 7th, 2007 by Quan Tranh

We made it out alive, but considering that only 5 Mexicans decided to show up that’s not too surprising.  The protest against the Senate Amnesty Immigration Bill was a success in my opinion.  Thanks to Chris Krok for putting this together.  Also thanks to the Cobb County Police for keeping things professional.  I hope this sends a message to Senators Isakson and Chambliss that the people who can reelect them probably won’t if they vote yes on this horrible legislation.

One ironic thing about this picture is the Mexicans are holding a sign that says “No One Is Illegal”, but there’s a cop car in the picture and they’re being shooed away from Men’s Wearhouse for illegally trespassing on the property.  You might not be illegal, but you can sure act that way.

Proposal for Immigration Reform

June 6th, 2007 by Quan Tranh

There are a large number of problems with the immigration reform bill going before the Senate this week. Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson have decided to sell their constituents down the river in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens. Since our current elected officials have decided they are incapable of fixing the problem, I have created a proposal that should secure the borders and usher in a new era of immigration reform.

Dear Representatives, Senators, and Mr. President

I am writing to you to voice my opposition to the current immigration bill and any others that follow the same philosophy. I am an Asian-American son of a Vietnam War Vet. I understand the gift of the freedoms Americans enjoy and I understand the reason many want to come to our great nation. I am greatly concerned that amnesty will be given to illegal aliens.

I have friends who have married Europeans and they live in constant fear that INS is going to break up their family because paperwork is constantly being lost or simply because INS refuses to investigate illegal aliens.

Metro Atlanta Sheriffs and Police Chiefs have made many statements on AM 750 WSB that INS does not support their efforts to clean up the streets. Local law enforcement cannot enforce federal law which leaves gaps in some areas and duplication in others.

First, we need to secure the border. Some have stated that building a wall is not the proper approach to securing the border. I would like to cite the Great Wall of China. It is a marvel of Asian ingenuity and engineering. I believe it is time for America to build a Great Wall for the 21st Century to protect our border in much the same manner that the Great Wall of China has protected them from invaders. Securing the borders is essential.

Our immigration system is broken and we need to fix it in a way that puts Americans and those who want to become American first. My proposal to securing the borders and immigration reform involves the following:

  • Dissolve INS/ICE and issue severance packages to all employees. They, as an agency, have demonstrated they cannot enforce immigration and instead resort to harassing legal immigrants and their American spouses. Incompetence is not tolerated in the private sector and should not be tolerated in the public sector.
  • Dissolve the DEA. This represents an annual savings of $4 Billion. The War on Terror and the War on Drugs are not compatible since the terrorists receive funding from the black market for illegal drugs.
  • Allocate $2 Billion from the DEA breakup to the 50 states. The states shall choose whether to legalize drugs and spend the funds on treatment and education; or maintain their various controlled substances acts and spend the funds on enforcement and police expansion. Either way new jobs would be created in social services or state/local law enforcement.
  • Assign all the former DEA agents to border protection. Allocate $2 Billion to first build a fence and then fund the new agency.
  • Dissolve the IRS and implement the Fair Tax. This represents a savings of the requested $11.6 Billion 2008 operating budget request, cited by the US General Accountability Office.
  • Assign all former IRS agents to border protection, Social Security Fraud, and Identity Theft Enforcement
  • Eliminate all guest worker programs, including H1B visa programs for college educated technology workers. If there is a worker shortage it should be permanently corrected, not band-aided. This becomes more relevant as baby boomers retire and further create a worker shortage.
  • Expand the number of green card candidates. Both agriculture and IT/Science industries cannot meet the demand for labor. We should be inviting more people here to become American and be assimilated into our culture rather than sending them back home every year. This eliminates the need to track guest workers since all workers will be permanent.

I have outlined approximately $15 Billion in allocations that can be made to enhance border security. I believe these proposed changes will enhance our security and assist America with the expansion of our economy and our culture.

A Lack of Jurisdiction

June 2nd, 2007 by Quan Tranh

I am always deeply amused how FOXNews.com likes to make a big deal over nothing. We all know that Schwarzenegger smokes cigars. Big deal. For some reason everyone is making a big deal about the possibility that he smoked a Cuban cigar while in Canada. Now you can legally import them to Canada, but some brain dead person took a statement that made absolutely no sense and included it in the article.

“Persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction are prohibited from purchasing or importing Cuban cigars, regardless of where they are,” U.S. Treasury Department spokeswoman Molly Millerwise said in a statement.

That statement makes no sense in context of the FOXNews article or in any other context.  You are not subject to US jurisdiction after you leave US soil.  If I go to Moscow the FSB, not the FBI, have jurisdiction over me.  The current administration seem to have this idea that no matter where you go or what you do your fall under US jurisdiction.  While that may be a pleasant thought to people such as AG Gonzalez, it isn’t practical in the real world.  You are bound by the law of the land where you are located.  You can’t be put on trial in another country for breaking their laws while here.  Why should it work in reverse?
