Here are today's quick hits:
Quick Hit #1: Illegal immigrants a serious drag.
The Washington Times reports on a new study showing some disturbing trends: 32% of uninsured residents in America are illegal aliens, 24% of those in or near poverty are illegal aliens, there are as many as 38 million illegal aliens in America. This is a massive problem that needs to be fixed ASAP (and not with amnesty or more handouts)!
Quick Hit #2: Murtha acknowledges reality.
Dem. Congressman Jack Murtha, after a trip to Iraq, admitted that the surge has worked. This is a major reversal, as Murtha said Pentagon statements of progress earlier in the year were 'delusional'. More proof, as if we needed it...it must have hurt him to say this!
Quick Hit #3: More and more plants.
Michelle Malkin blows open even more plants from the CNN/YouTube debate, highlighting a former intern for Rep. Jane Harman (Dem, CA), a staffer for Sen. Dick Durbin (Dem, IL), and a public supporter of Gov. Bill Richardson. Were any of the questions legitimate? Doesn't look that way. Ironically, CNN originally said the videos were selected by seasoned CNN journalists because the Internet is an immature medium and it would be too easy for campaigns to 'game the system'. Riiiiiight...
Quick Hit #4: Unbelievable airport security measures...!
The TSA is now considering having 'Behavior Detection Officers' at airport security checkpoints. Yep, it's exactly what it sounds like - people watching for facial expressions, signs of nervousness, and verbal cues that could pull people out of line for closer inspection. Can we say Big Brother, anyone?!
Quick Hit #5: True love in New York.
Registering a perfect 10 on the 'awww...' scale is this story from New York City. A young man spotted the girl of his dreams on the subway one evening, but it was so crowded that she got off before he could approach her. He was a web designer, so he set up a website to find this mystery woman...and it worked! Within hours he had received a flood of calls and e-mails, one of which led to the right woman. And you just thought it happened in Hollywood!
Have a great weekend!
