Illegal Presence in US Not a Crime, Court Says

While it is illegal to enter the country without the proper documents and permissions, it is not necessarily illegal to be in the country.

In its opinion, the court explained that Congress had implicitly created the distinction: "While Congress has criminalized the illegal entry into this country, it has not made the continued presence of an illegal alien in the United States a crime unless the illegal alien has previously been deported," said the opinion.

"Deep Fried Ho Hos"

Is that similar to a Jo Jo?

Here's another:

Jason, you're beginning to scare me!  Like Mr. Voorhees scary!

I'll burn you a CD with the pics.  

 

Me, too!  Me, too!

DR Miss Karen - After a particular incident in the waiting area, DR Cason has some news for you...

Speaking of "Playland". . .

DR Ron Pulliam - How is you loblolly pine doing?  

I don't have one of my very own.

But every time I think of John Schneider, I think of "Tennsessee loblolly pine".

Do you know why?

I had some deep fried asparagus on Sunday at work.

Was there a coating of some kind?

I've had tempuraed asparagus that was really great!

Well, no luck at TKTS - they had some tickets, but they were close to $90 -- so I forwent seeing the show tonight.  

I see they have some tickets for next week that are the $40 tickets on the stage.  I think I'd much rather take that route (and no, not for Cheyenne Jackson's pecs) than pay the full price for a house seat.

Well, from the stage, you get a decent view of Cheyenne Jackson's other assets.

And, hey!  I mentioned his "arms", not his pecs.   Hmm... I guess you were "scarred" today in the waiting room.

DR Cason - Have you had dinner yet?

Was there a coating of some kind?

I've had tempuraed asparagus that was really great!

It was a tempura batter, i believe.  Nice and light.
Now, the cook and I couldn't decide what type of dipping sauce to use; my suggestion was something in the mango or poppyseed/sweet and sour side. . .

DR Jose:

I know you don't know why, and you won't guess why, so I'll tell you why:

I'm geniuinely AMAZED you could pinpoint this!!!

After "Dukes of Hazzard" left the airwaves (i.e. was cancelled), folks speculated a lot about what it is that either Schneider or Wopat might do next.  At that time, it was my impression critics didn't think they'd amount to much.

I don't recall what Wopat's next gig was, but Schneider did a TV movie called "Dream House" in the 1981.  He was a country boy from Tennessee who followed his girl friend to New York City where she had turned into this really uppity type.

At any rate, he parked his camper on the street, etc.  He had a run-in with some locals who didn't want him helping folks out...ya see, Schneider had carpentry skills and he felt sorry for folks living in rundown buildings, so he set out to help them make the best of what they had.

And one of the things that he kept harping on when folks would tell him the building ought to be razed and not renovated was that the building had a good foundation and good woodworking....made of "Tennessee loblolly pine."

The more desperate the situation, the more adamant he was about the virtue of "Tennessee loblolly pine" and how well the building would turn out if he were given a chance.

All worked out well in the end.  And Schneider was "GOOD" in the role...he wasn't a "Duke" at all...he WAS this Southern boy with a talent who made a huge difference in the lives of the people in one building.

That's my "Tennessee loblolly pine" story about John Schneider.  I cannot hear his name without hearing him say "Tennessee loblolly pine."

If they can deep-fry Pepsi, there has to be a way to deep-fry some Monkeycake.

If they can deep-fry Pepsi, there has to be a way to deep-fry some Monkeycake.

I'll bet they could even deep-fry some Jeff Stryker , if not many members of the legume family. . .
