So many stories, so little bandwidth. Here are the highlights.
Sen. Harry Reid calls the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants “12 million undocumented Americans” in the video embedded prominently on the front page of his web site right now. Giving the video that position removes the possibility that Reid merely misspoke. It’s what he meant to say.
Which means that he’s far, far out in front on the amnesty gambit. He already thinks of anyone who gets here by hook or by crook as an American, a citizen.
Nice. Go to the link at Hot Air for the video if you don’t believe it. Reid had it embedded on his official Senate website, though it is gone now. Someone however was smart enough to save it.
A broad immigration bill to legalize millions of people in the U.S. unlawfully failed a crucial test vote in the Senate Thursday, a stunning setback that could spell its defeat for the year.

Can we boycott The City now?
Honestly this is just depressing because growing up I had some great times and memories in San Francisco. But now I don’t know if I can stomach going back there:
Daly backs move to ground Blue Angels show
The annual aerial show by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels — a San Francisco tradition dating back to 1981 that pumps millions into the local economy — is running into opposition from three local peace advocacy groups that are calling for a permanent halt to the popular Fleet Week flyover.
CodePink, Global Exchange and Veterans for Peace, Chapter 69, are working with Supervisor Chris Daly on a Board of Supervisors resolution to address concerns over the Blue Angels.
Daly acknowledged he is considering a call to halt the flyovers because, he said, “they seem dangerous and unnecessary.” Daly said he plans on introducing the resolution as early as Tuesday, but is still drafting the language. A resolution is not legally binding, but states a board position.

Sure seems that way. At the least, the City attorney is complaining the Sheriff is in contempt of the order for releasing her after just three days to home monitoring.
MSNBC is reporting that she has a court hearing tomorrow to determine if she has to go back to jail.
It seems the Judge’s order sending her to jail specifically forbid her to have home monitoring.
See the document and story below.
It does clearly indicate no electronic monitoring.

Paris Hilton’s release from jail may be short lived.
Hours after she was sent home under house arrest Thursday for an undisclosed medical condition, the judge who put her in jail for violating her reckless-driving probation ordered her into court to decide if she should go back behind bars.
Hilton must report to court at 9 a.m. Friday, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told The Associated Press.
“My understanding is she will be brought in in a sheriff’s vehicle from her home,” Parachini said.

Yes, after three lousy days in Jail, Paris is being sent home for home confinement due to medical reasons. I at first assumed the food made her sick (too much saffron on the fish or something) but apparently it is a rash. Must be from the TP. Her cell’s bidet must be broken.
Apparently the hoards of masses crying “free Paris” were effective.
So she goes home to the crude luxuries of spas, comfy beds and a kitchen that is likely the size of my office building.
That’ll teach her.
If they wanted this to be punishment, they should make her have home confinement at my house.
My kids can be considered cruel and inhuman punishment.
I hope they at least make her clean her room or something.
