Our American Idols

AMNESTY DELAYED!!

Hello Jim & Kim fanatics...and welcome to JimmyPowell.com!
A fun & entertaining site where you can get a glimpse into our little world!

I can remember a time when I thought Terri Hatcher was hot but lately something has gone terribly wrong with her DNA. I don't know if she's had any work done but if she's gonna continue to try and look young and sexy (she's like 41 now) then maybe she should cause she doesn't appear to be aging well. This is how she looked at the GLAAD awards over the weekend...

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just saying...what happened to Terri Hatcher?

President Bush, First Lady Laura and Dick Cheney were flying on Air Force One. George looked at Laura, chuckled and said, "You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy."

Laura shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy."

Cheney added, "That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy."

Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, "Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of them out of the window and make 56 million people very happy.

Like one of my favorite Tesla songs things are definitely getting better every day! Here's why...

• Kim is back! - After being sick for the better part of the last week Kim is back to herself again which means I have my best friend back. I was starting to get lonely and didn't have anyone around to laugh at my jokes and immature antics.

• Spring is here! - Spring is finally "springing" up here in the South Bay. We've been in perpetual weather limbo for the past few months...always hovering between winter and spring but if finally looks as if our "normal" weather is gonna show up. The sun has been shining all day for the past few days and even though it's not exactly beach going weather yet, it's a far cry from the rain and never ending cloudy days we've been having.

• Daylight Savings Time - we've finally made the switch to what I consider "sensible" time. Why we don't stay on DST all year long is beyond me. At least it will last a month longer starting in 2007 thanks to a new law passed by Congress. In 2007 DST will start in March and end in November instead of April & October. Awesome!

• Home Movie Night - After picking up The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe on DVD, we pulled out our sofa bed in the living room for the first time, turned off all the lights, lit a few candles, and had our own "cozy" night at the movies Saturday night.

• Almost Debt Free - On my ongoing quest to be debt free in 2006 I'm down to only more credit card to pay off and only 5 more car payments and then I am done! Woo-Hoo!!! (Don't worry, I'm gonna start paying off Kim's stuff after I'm finished with all mine)

• Getting Caught Up - Even though I have about 2 more solid months of web work ahead of me before I can say I am truly caught up, I managed to knock out a lot of "little things" that have been on my radar for way too long. Only about 8 more major websites left to complete...guess I should be working on them instead of rambling on my blog huh?

It's been a while since we had a good steak and since Kim had been cooped up in the house most of last weekend, we decided to head to The Outback for their Victoria's Center Cut Fillet along with some Shrimp on the Barbie.

The Senate failed to garner enough votes to push the latest immigration amnesty bill up for a vote. I for one was somewhat overjoyed...at least for the time being. No bill means nothing new will be done to secure our borders but it also means no amnesty for the 11 million illegal immigrants.

Let's hope the Republicans get their act together and introduce a bill that totally secures our border and stops illegal immigration but also doesn't offer amnesty to illegal immigrants already here. Amnesty will only send the wrong message and we'll be in the same dilemma again 10 years from now.

This is something all the metal heads out there will enjoy...

It's hard to believe that this crazy black woman (Cynthia McKinney) is the representative for the state of Georgia. She's been all over the news this week after striking a congressional police officer because he tried to detain her after she refused to stop at a security checkpoint. She claimed that "he should have recognized me" even though she wasn't wearing her congressional security pin which would have instantly identified her as a congresswoman and had recently changed her hair from (get this) her normal corn rows. This isn't her first run in with security personnel in Washington and seems to be a pattern. Just another angry black woman whose let a little power go to her head and then tries to play the age old race card whenever she gets in trouble.

It looks like the 11 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS currently residing in America will soon be getting amnesty which just goes to show you how fucked up our government is. The House and Senate are close to reaching a deal that would put illegal immigrants on the path to citizenship while simultaneously sending a clear message to the millions more waiting in the wings that it's ok to enter the U.S. illegally because eventually you'll be granted amnesty. All of this is a result of "political pressure" from the millions of illegal immigrants who have protested in recent weeks over legislation that would enforce our immigration policy. Unbelievable.

Personally, I think it's time to end ALL immigration to the United States and yes...build a huge fucking wall. It's not just about illegal immigrants, it's also about the billions of tons of illegal narcotics flowing across our southern border each year. Drugs which fuel the violent street gangs and fill the streets of the inner cities with crime and violence.  

We have enough poor, huddled masses here now. At what point do we wake up and realize that if everyone comes to America, everything that is great about America will die. Not to mention the fact that American culture is being eroded by the influx of dozens of new cultures from both legal and illegal immigrants. Do you really want to have choose 1 for English, 2 for Spanish, 3 for Arabic, 4 for Chinese, etc., everytime you make a call to a major company?

But maybe we deserve that. When the American Dream finally does die maybe the only people we'll have to blame is ourselves for not standing up to our government and our representatives and demanding that they enforce our laws and secure our borders. Maybe it's our fault for believing the myth that Americans can't mow their own lawns, wash their own cars or perform menial jobs such as cleaning hotels or picking lettuce.

Before the disastrous immigration Bill of 1965, these jobs were somehow being done by Americans without the need for millions of illegal immigrants and the country seemed to be better for it. Many of these jobs were performed by young people which instilled them with real work ethic and put them on the road to be responsible human beings unlike today's kids who spend all their free time listening to rap music and playing Grand Theft Auto.

Having said all that, I love America and count my lucky stars that I was born here instead of any other place on this messed up rock we call Planet Earth. I'm just glad that I won't be here 200 years from now when America is so culturally fractured that it starts tearing itself apart.

For now, I guess I'll have to deal with pressing 1 for English.
