A Lady's Ruminations

Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

It's True

Tancredo: Immigrants held to lower standard:

Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo told law enforcement officers that illegal immigrants are held to lower standards by the justice system than Americans.

"An illegal alien actually has a different system of justice here," he said Tuesday in a speech to about 30 officers. "If you're here illegally, you can get a pass."
Right, they can break the law by entering illegally, and not get in trouble. Further, they can work, use our medical facilities and public schools, and do whatever they want without being deported. Isn't that lovely?

Tancredo said he has no presidential aspirations of his own.

"I'm too short, I'm too fat, I'm too bald to be the president of the United States," he said.
At least he has a sense of humor about it. :)
