Que paso?

I am sitting here in Gregg's Hometown Foods.

Store Detective, looking for terrorists, securing the homeland on the front lines.

As always, just trying to do my part to ensure the freedom of my fellow Americans.

I am looking for Mexicans who might be illegally alive, who do not have the proper stamp on the papers in their pocket, and thus deserve to be separated from their weeping children and sent to wherever we want to send them in a hot, crowded white INS van.

If you can see me from where you are seated you know that I am also sitting, on the floor, in the corner between the white milk and the tortillas, at the far end of the Mexican Foods Aisle.

It is my charge to find any Islamiscists, Hispanunists, or other terror-type individuals.

I am also to tackle anyone I suspect of being from Nebraska. Gregg says.

I am undercover, as per usual.

I am wearing a big, wide sombrero. My head is drooping to my knees. But I am not sleeping. Sometimes I am sleeping. Sometimes snoring. I get a beeper.

I am wearing a new, white T-shirt with blood-red letters: Pinche Puta Store Detective.

Pretty cool.

Go about your day.

I got this.

* The Next Big Thing, "The Cost of Freedom": http://costoffreedombook.blogspot.com/

This just in, latest endorsement, to go along with Thom Hartmann, Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, Harry Belfonte.

"Cost of Freedom is a powerful cry for peace - the only state in which freedom is possible. War, its threat and preparation, together with the further impoverishment of the people they promise, are the greatest enemies of freedom. Even more, this anthology proves that people and poets across America have, like Thoreau, refused to be outfaced by irrational things. Here is a chorus of the American people, matching the prophets of the past, whose voices are also present, singing peace will come through universal love and respect for the precious rights and dignity of every child, woman and man but only when the factually informed participation and perseverance of the people make war unthinkable. Your poets will then be the acknowledged legislators of peace on earth. Thanks for your powerful anthology and its repeated insistence on impeachment of Bush, Cheney, et al., which I hope will reach and motivate millions of people." 
- Ramsey Clark
