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.

Amnesty Round-Up

I spend a lot of my internet time reading National Review's main blog, The Corner. Today, NR has a lot of great columns and links about the Amnesty.

Here are links to some of them:

  • Robert Rector (senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation): Amnesty Plus---This amnesty is going to cost us, US citizens/taxpayers, a ton of money . . . and the illegal aliens will be rewarded with a ton of money. Where can I sign up for free money?
  • The Editors: No Amnesty for Senators---The Senators should do the right thing, which is also, this time, the popular thing.
  • Robert B. Bluey (director of the Center for Media & Public Policy at the Heritage Foundation): Do-Nothing? You Know-Nothing.---Supporters of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill Amnesty want us to believe we can either approve this bill or do nothing. But there's a third choice: enforce our current laws. Brilliant.
  • Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND): Unlabor Day---This amnesty will be bad for American workers.
  • Kris Kobac (professor of law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City): A wake-up call for the Senate---Supporters of this bill don't see the connection between illegal immigration and terrorism. This leaves us vulnerable.
