You wrote a lovely post last year about my dear boss, Scott Brazil. I'm currently participating in a walk to raise money for ALS research, in his memory.

Here it is. <BR/><BR/>Geraldo was absolutely correct: we have a system and economy built upon the assumption that there will be a surplus of cheap (oftentimes illegally cheap) labor; big business - and its policy and lobbying arms - want to remove barriers to entry and expedite the "illegal alien"-to-"guest worker" path; finally, our entire culture is based upon immigration and assimilation. During each wave of immigration, nativists rant and rail, foaming at the mouth about the destruction of America at the hands of foreigners. Perhaps O'Lielly and Pat Buchanan and their ilk should quit their punditry and reform the Know Nothings. I'm sure they could attract quite a few people.R.A.

I think each man believed what he was saying, but ratcheted it up for TV.<BR/><BR/>You might say Geraldo won on style points, but O'Reilly won on the actual issue. While the comments have criticized O'Reilly personally, no one has said "He's wrong! We need MORE illegal immigration."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-50695375709387590142007-04-07T12:18:00.000-04:002007-04-07T12:18:00.000-04:00Dark Tyler, I'm not picking on you, but when you s...Dark Tyler, I'm not picking on you, but when you said "field trip" instead of "field day", it made me think that Colbert's going to be going to the Museum of Natural History with his 4th-grade class. His moms will pack him a tuna sandwich, an apple, and a Devil Dog, but he'll trade the Devil Dog to Tommy Gunderson for his Funny Bone. Then he, Tommy, and Maggie Daniels will share her thermos of Mountain Dew (with half shot of vodka that she snuck out of the liquor cabinet.)<BR/><BR/>Stephen's gonna be pissed by the end of the day, though.
