Whew! This week was work. A lot of controversial stories. I'm sure a lot of conservatives have a Jovial voodoo doll that they love to shove pins into. It has been a good week and thanks James for an excellent write-up, and Tim you're right I know the immigration bureaucracy can sometimes be overwhelming, but that's really extreme. Let's hope we don't get a round of copycats like we always do when some nut goes off kilter.
