It's Monday morning and I've already found someone with enough stupid to last me through the week. I present to you Don Goldwater, nephew of Barry Goldwater. Don's running for governor out in Arizona, and he's come up with an innovative way to build a wall on the border AND stop immigrants in America from running rampant through our streets, mowing our lawns, fixing our food and raising our kids. At an anti-immigration rally in April he was quoted as saying:
"Build us that wall now!"...referring to a proposal to add 700 miles of fences along the U.S.-Mexico border. He promised then that if elected, he would put illegal immigrants in a tent city on the border and use their labor to build the wall.
Internment camps for Mexicans? That's fucking brilliant!
I'm here. I was just too busy calling mis primos in Arizona and telling them to get the hell out of Dodge...
I think Carlos Mencia, in his only funny moment, proposed this too. Get the illegals to build the fence, tell them to go to the other side to see how it looks, then close the gate.
Brilliant strategy, Mr. Goldwater. No wonder your uncle didn't become president.
Actually, Kinky proposed something similar to this in the Austin Daze, a hippie-ish Austin rag. See austindaze.com (issue with Armadillo on cover, pg. 7).

oh, lordy! PD raggin' on Rawhide's photoshop skillz?
He looks a bit like William Shatner to me. Plus, that pic looks like it should be captioned:
"Guess how many bananas I have in my butt right now!"

It is now June 28 and there is a story in AP by reporter Paul Davenport that the reporter of a Spanish newspaper on this story misunderstood and therefore, misquoted Don Goldwater. The story is as follows:
By PAUL DAVENPORT

A Spanish news agency apologized for a report that described a Republican gubernatorial candidate's proposed work program for illegal immigrants as "concentration camps."
The story last week caused an international stir when EFE, a national news agency of Spain, quoted candidate Don Goldwater as saying he wanted to hold undocumented immigrants in camps to use them "as labor in the construction of a wall and to clean the areas of the Arizona desert that they're polluting."
EFE Executive Vice President Emillio Sanchez said a freelance writer for the news agency inaccurately described Goldwater's plan.
"Upon further reflection, our investigation has determined that your plan to house illegal prisoners in a tent city is consistent with accepted practices for nonviolent American prisoners in your area," Sanchez said in the letter released Tuesday by Goldwater's campaign.
The letter also acknowledged that the freelance reporter never interviewed Goldwater or any of his staff for the story.
Sanchez confirmed the letter's contents when contacted by The Associated Press by phone on Tuesday.
Goldwater, nephew of the late Sen. Barry Goldwater, said he accepted EFE's apology and hopes that several Republican members of Arizona's congressional delegation also will apologize for criticizing him following the report.
Goldwater is one of four Republicans seeking his party's nomination to challenge Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano.

I love the simple blog post title. Your photoshop skills are horrendous and it would be offensive to even compare them to SuperWow!'s abilities.
Plus, am I the only one here today? Who said all y'all could have the day off?
