Amputee and Paraplegic Minutemen

Minutemen appear to be restyling campaign along Mexican border

Now this is pretty funny.Chris Simcox and his crew want to make sure that you know that they have a few amputees and some wheelchair bound folks participating in his "Minuteman" project. That's nice.

I want to see how those wheelchairs are going to perform out in the desert between Bisbee and Douglas. I have been there on two feet and had some problems.

This is the same kind of thing that I always complain about - the media finds the lowest common denominator to represent my home. When a tornado has hit Texas, the CNN crews comb the countryside to find the most inbred trailer dweller and interview him. Now, the fact that million dollar homes were also destroyed means little - those stock brokers don't make such good guests: no local "flair"....

Chris Simcox and his buddies no more represent me - or my fellow border dwellers - than that redneck in the trailer represents my former Texan cohorts. I do wish he would melt back into whatever puddle of scum he crawled out of....this is getting rather old.
