Not Yo' Daddy's Union

By Donna Locke
Tennesseans for Immigration Control and Reform
Three things here, unrelated - though, as I think about it, perhaps not.

I've thought it over, and I believe that someday, probably soon, a new job category will arise in the spirit of professional housesitters, plant sitters, and dog walkers. Yep, professional guest-bloggers are just around the corner. The guest-bloggers gone pro will organize and eventually have their own union and will post Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Bob Tuke's press releases verbatim even as imported, illegal cheap labor steals their jobs and Tuke's press releases are issued only in foreign languages. President Bush will brag about all the new jobs that have been created, and no one will look behind the curtain. It will remind me of this and this and, of course, this.

Speaking of the corner, it's always good to have a backup plan. I'm makin' myself a sign: "Will Guest-blog for Food."

Next: Every day for years I have checked Tennesseans for Immigration Control's inbox and waded through e-mails from people gushing about how much they loved me in Neon Maniacs. Please. I am not that Donna Locke, though that does sound like a movie I would have been in.

Next: Wonder how your U.S. House representative is voting? Wonder what he or she is voting on? Roll call votes in the U.S. House can be found here. On each line, click on the number at the outermost left to bring up the roll call for the bill cited on that line. Be sure, though, that you understand the question the reps were voting on. That can be tricky.
