A few years ago, I visited Chile with my family after graduating from college. After landing in Santiago and paying my $50 Reciprocal Visa Fee, literally the first words out of my mouth were “¿Donde esta el baño”, putting my four years of high-school Spanish to good use.

The Omaha World-Herald has given an online platform for cranks to write what they would say to President Bush regarding Immigration to the United States. I’m no stats wizard, but there seem to be two common threads to those wishing to speak to El Jefe. They speak in incomplete sentences, often switching between yelling and [...]
