Hillary Clinton's call for $5k for every baby born in this country in the future is ludicrous. The so-called " baby bond" idea originated in California and Clinton has apparently co-opted the idea. The bond would supposedly pay for college or buying a home.
Of course Hillary was pandering as she spoke before the Congrssional Black Caucus and no one knows how serious she is, but the cost would be staggering considering there 4 million babies born annually in America.
Another question is..how will this impact illegal immigration? Our southern border,already overrun will surely become a highway for those seeking to get their children "off on the right foot" at the expense of American taxpayers. Anchor babies will proliferate.
Will Hillary's proposal deter or encourage illegal immigration? Surely it will encourage it as never before.

NY City And State Lawmakers May Penalize Columbia
The New York Sun is reporting that the city and state legislatures in New York may withohold funds from the school in the wake of the Ivy League institution having Iranian President Ahmadenijad as a speaker today.
Lawmakers have apparently warned Columbia President Lee Bollinger there will be repercussions for having the man who is officially listed as a terrorist by our government speak. In an interview with state assmebly speaker Sheldon Silver, the Sun is reporting that Silver says lawmakers are outraged and will consider holding back financial assistance for the school along with capital aid.
Silver and other lawmakers are joining an outcry that the school is giving a forum for propaganda and legitamizing the anti-American terrorist and leader. Bollinger says it is a matter of academic freedom and first amedment rights.
This is a most difficult situation. I detest Ahmadenijad and everything he stands for,especially his anti-Americanism and his tyranny in his own country,where there have reportedly been numerous executions recently. Some of the offenses given death were homosexuality and women being stoned to death for not following Islamic law.
Is this really the kind of person we want speaking at our institutions at taxpayer expense? Columbia students say they will grill him rigorously. We will see.
The question of whether we will allow this tyrant who is supporting forces that kill Americans daily in Iarq, one who denies the Holocaust, one who sanctions state terrorism, to have an open forum is debatable. Should the state and city legislatures stifle this type of " free" speech by withdrawing funds?
Columbia and schools like it have become podiums for what seems like anti-American propaganda recently. Who is correct,and should we abandon our principles to correct their seemingly traitorous nature? Is this free speech or legitamizing an illegitimate despot?

Ahamdinejad At Columbia
Should Ahamdinejad be allowed to speak at Columbia? If this is really about free speech why is Columbia University President Lee Bollinger denying the request of the press to hear the Iranian president and holocaust denier speak? Will there be debate or will this just be an open forum for the anti-American and Jew hater to spew his propaganda.
It is interesting that this is the same university that refuses to let ROTC chapters operate on campus. It seems on surface this is the continuation of anti-Americanism on Ivy League campuses. At least his request to tour ground zero in NYC was denied.

Olson Should Be Attorney General
Much has been in the news lately about who the next Attorney General of the United States should be. Democrats are eager to have a " non-political" attorney general. Is there any such thing , and should the Democrats expect such ?
Did Clinton or Carter or Kennedy provide the Republicans or America with such a person? No , of course not.
The best person for the job is brilliant constitutional lawyer Ted Olson. Olson represented Bush before the Supreme Court in the Bush v. Gore case. This shows just how talented he is. This is also the problem. Democrats will never confirm Olson without a fight that will be reminiscent of the Bork confirmation hearings.
Democrats could care less who the best person for the job is. They just can't afford to have Bush rub their faces in the mud before the moveon.org crowd.

Gingrich Says Republicans Need " Clean Break " From Bush
Former House Republican Leader Newt Gingrich says that Republicans need a " clean break" from President Bush to win the 2008 election.
Reuters says that Gingrich was quoted as saying, " If you don't represent real change, you just gave away the 2008 election." Gingrich cited the Iraq war, the federal government's handling of Katrina, and the country's broken borders and immigration system as proof that we need to change the way we govern.
He added: " I believe for any Republican to win in 2008 , they have to offer a bold ,dramatic change. If we nominate somebody like that, they get the nomination, but there is very, very little chance they can win."
This statement is probably true, the country is ready for a change. But is Gingrich... who seems to fancy the nomination himself, however undeclared he may be, the person who represents a " new diredtion "?

OJ IN THE NEWS- ROBBERY IN VEGAS?
O.J. Simpson is back in the news...the same day that his ghostwritten book, "If I Did It", was released. The book supposedly tells how O.J. " might have killed" Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman " if he did it."
This time he is accused of holding up a sports Memorabilia dealer at gunpoint, supposedly for items " that belong to me."
Can you get life for this ? Let's hope he gets the max allowed by law.

Seante Votes To Block Meixcan Trucks
A U.S. Senate vote on Tuesday to block Mexican trucks from traveling in OUR country is welcome. The Senate voted to block funding for a Bush administration test progam that will let long-haul Mexican trucks cross the U.S. and drive on our highways. The prgram s part of the 1994 NAFTA agreement.
This move is especially welcome since a Mexican truck loaded with dynamite exploded Monday.
29 people were killed when the long-haul truck hit a pickup truck. Do we really want unregulated Mexican trucks on our highways?
The Bush administration responded by saying it had "enough safeguards in placeto insure a safe and secure program." Hello..is anyone out there? W and his cronies have got to be kidding!
