Sometimes, it really pays to go to work

Actually, it does.

It means that the child should have been named "American Taxpayer", cause that is who just picked up the tab for it.

Incredibly enough, the radical Latinos who want to take back the land "stolen" from Mexico do not seem to understand that without the magical American taxpayer, it would be yet another corrupt, run down, dirty extension of Mexico. No freebies, no welfare, no Medicaid, no Social Security, no discounted college tuition, no ESL classes, no free access to nice, clean hospitals, no big businesses, no profit sharing from natural resources like the oil in Mexico. Rich getting richer, and poor getting nothing.

Your story is a great one, right up to the above statement.

Sorry, didn't mean to bring you down, just heard the end of an empire approaching and wanted to point that out for the record and posterity's sake.

And no free school lunches, no all day kindergarten........ Check this out from my morning newspaper....http://www.greeleytrib.com/article/2...NEWS/102130095

District 6 had 18,069 students in fall 2006, down 144 from 2005. It was the first decline in several years. The district added more than 1,000 students between 2002 and 2005, with the growth peaking at 18,213 in 2005.

Students qualifying for free and reduced lunches, a measure of poverty, increased to 9,276 in 2006 from 8,791 in 2005, a 5 percent jump. While other districts occasionally see a spike in free-and-reduced lunches -- those students shot up 22 percent in Poudre Valley School District in Fort Collins this year -- District 6 has seen a gradual increase in poverty.

District demographics show a growing Hispanic population and declining Anglo numbers. The district counted 9,356 (52 percent) Hispanic students and 8,187 (45 percent) Anglos in fall 2006. That compares to 9,275 (51 percent) Hispanics and 8,427 (46 percent) Anglo students in fall 2005.

TS once asked "what is in the water" in my community, referencing our crime and murder rate. This should be a good indicator of the problem. By the way NGShooter, hit the nail on the head, it is not only coming to a town near you.........it is coming to your town!

Sorry about the hijack, but TR's comments were supported by this article.

The little girl on the radio reminds of something that happened to me when I first ETS'd from the service.

I took on a summer job with a sub-contractor of Cincinnati Bell laying undrground cable wire. (labor, jack hammers, compressors, shovels) We had dispatch radios in all the trucks for obvious reasons. One day, my last , since I had announed that I'd be attending colleg full time, one of the guy's took some tape and taped the key down on the radio mic in our truck.

About 11 am the supervisor pulls up in his truck and yells out the window "Hey turn off that damn mike in your truck I'm tired of listening to you clowns heckle all the girls while your driving "

Can you believe this....it happened AGAIN !!!!!

Only we didn't go through the extremes of what happened last week.

This time, my partner and I were at another 7-11, only this time on the other side of town, and we get a call on the radio to respond Code 3 to the dept of corrections, for a 21 y/o, who is in labor and having contractions.

So we go flying up to the DoC, get there, run into their clinic and find this young lady doing the Ho-He-Ho-He-Ho-He breathing technique, and who's water has defiantly broke.

So we go and load her up, only this time we take it nice and easy going to the hospital. We figured last week was a dress rehearsal for this week. This time we head for Denver General and go through the ER. The ER doc does a quick examination of the pt, says he can feel the head positioned nicely in the Birth channel, and clears us to head up to L&D.

So we head on up, hand her off to the Docs and Nurses up there, find out the mom-to-be is only 1 cm dilated, say our goodbyes and good lucks to the mom and docs and tell each other, that we're never going to sit at a 7-11 on a Saturday night in Denver.....again.

We decided that from now on, we're going to sit at a Circle K instead. Maybe when we do, we'll get a shooting or something like that.

Good to know someone else has those days! It sounds like a day at my job! Only most of our Hispanic population doesn't speak English. I have delivered four babies without the assistance of a physician- they don't always believe the nurses when we say they need to get there for delivery. Each time, it is a nail biter!

At least each time there was a head and not a foot, a hand, the butt or an umbilical cord!!!!

Great read!! LMAO
now get back to work and go post at a 7-11 dammit!!

LOL
