May Day Survived

167 words.

If you’re rabidly opposed to any form of immigration, and are looking for ways to hastily generalize the actions of a few individuals to encompass all 12 million illegal immigrants, you will undoubtedly want to visit Michelle Malkin’s blog to gather ammunition for your logically fallacious argument: The Day To Hate Republicans and Borders? What Borders? and The Pictures You Won’t See.

In case you’re wondering, Mrs. Krehbiel and I survived the May Day protest unscathed. As far as I could tell, there was exactly zero effect on our daily lives. (There’s a significant Latino population around where we live, too.) We did not attempt to get Mexican food, however.

I found it fairly ironic that one enthusiastic immigrant interviewed on NBC Nightly News About New Orleans For Dummies expressed support for the rally… by taking a paid vacation day. But I would at least like to thank the protesters for making enough of a ruckus to keep NBC from talking about New Orleans for one night.
