When Liberals are in charge .....

Ma, turn off the oven, your goose is cooked
aka "where's that friggen earthquake?"

A CRIK RISEN


Dozens of languages are spoken in the Bay Area, and some of them are about to find their way into local voting places as part of newly updated requirements of the federal Voting Rights Act.

Alameda County already provides Chinese and Spanish language assistance at polling stations, but soon must add Vietnamese and Tagalog to its repertoire, according to the voting rights requirements announced Wednesday.

"It means we must translate everything we produce into these additional languages, all the sample ballots, all the material at the polling places, anything we mail out to voters," said Alameda County Registrar Dave Macdonald.

Election sites around the East Bay will also have to staff bilingual poll workers to enable the region's increasingly diverse population to more easily participate in elections.

The California Secretary of State's office said the changes will take effect by the June 2012 election, because voter pamphlets are already mailed out for local elections in November, but federal officials said they are effective now.  [

Christmas Eve 1983 was spent in the Republic of the Philippines where I witnessed a boy about age ten wrestle a salt water croc in a muddy pit. It wasn't a big croc, but it was bigger than him. Hell, it was bigger than me. From the action, I'm guessing it was sedated too. I also rode the local version of a ferris wheel driven by an eight-cylinder product of Detroit, that didn't have the guts to get my 175 lbs over the top. A good time was had by all, but I wouldn't do it again.

Isn't there a requirement that one speak English to become a citizen?

Ok *sigh* -- cross that out.

How much do the Mexican Drug Cartel Coyotes charge per horde of Chinese miiiigrants?

e-C - you will find in today's mail a suicide bomber vest and address to a place in San Francisco. God be with you and good luck. You are the last hope of a trembling nation (Barn Army Health Care will cover this).

When I signed up, it was made well clear that engaging in hostile activity for the enemies of the country was revoking my new citizenship...
Now Ron Paul and his hippie trufer creeps want to impeach Obama for doing about the only right thing he's done in his life,

Apparently the only requirement these days is that you don't speak English, and vote democRAT.
