Here’s a sample of Gene Autry’s signature song (Album available at PMRS)

Yeh, this one’s in appreciation of the fact that Diane’s sent a report (via Mel) that her evacuation from Baytown, TX not only went safely but that she’s on her way home, now and will likely be “Back in the Saddle” blogging by Wednesday or so.

Good news. Pray for safe trips for all those returning to homes, and for their recovery from whatever Rita effects their homes may have experienced. Glad this one wasn’t worse.

FWIW… eWeek reports:
“More Security Holes Found in Firefox

Symantec reports that 18 high-severity vulnerabilities were
reported for the Mozilla browser in the first half of 2005,
10 more than reported for IE.”
Of course, that lil squib doesn’t necessarily address other issues. For example, the vulnerabilities found in IE are often more severe because of the fairly deep hooks Internet Exploder has in the OS (and the overall bloated, crappy browser implementation in Internet Exploder). Then, of course, there’s the fact that Firefox’s vulnerabilities are usually patched expeditiously, instead of at the nearly glacial “speed” Microsoft applies to patching IE/Windows vulnerabilities.

But who really cares? Opera had far, far fewer security issues than either Firefoxed or Internet Exploder. And patched them faster than either of the other two, as well.

Ho. Hum.

Stop Illegal Immigration! (Let’s just call it what it is, shall we? Stop Border Outlaws! heh)

Here are a (very) few of the organizations and resources concerned citizens are manning:

California Border Police Initiative A site seeking to promote the organization of a new state police force in California strictly for the purpose of enforcing California’s border against illegal immigration: “It’s time to stop complaining about Washington not doing its job. It’s time to ENFORCE THE LAW and PROTECT OUR OWN BORDER…” An interesting idea.

FAIR: Federation for American Immigration Reform “FAIR seeks to improve border security, to stop illegal immigration, and to promote immigration levels consistent with the national interest—more traditional rates of about 300,000 a year.”

IllegalAliens.US “This site, besides mocking the term undocumented, is an illegal immigration primer whose goal is to provide information on illegal immigration prevention, enforcement, and attrition.”

IllegalAliens.US has a sister site, Report Illegals that offers a one-stop form “…to report illegal aliens (‘undocumented immigrants’) and illegal employers to the appropriate U.S. government agencies.”

A few more:

ProjectUSA
Americans for Immigration Control
American Immigration Control Foundation
Coalition for the Future American Worker
English First
9/11 Families for a Secure America

These are literally just a few of the many sites and resources available. Explore them. Consider the information they present. Discover just what a serious issue this is and make a committment to become in involved: Guard the Borders!
