(I'm in the process of toning it down and hoping I don't go too far in the other direction and emerge Pat Buchanan.)

4. Why Bush's immigration program will ultimately be bad for the workers
that my right-wing readers employ. And how there's a few of them that already exploit immigrants and won't do any better under the new plan.

3. Bastard!
Well, if any column should been pulled it's mine from this week. I did a column, intended to be humourous about the mad cow from Canada being economic pay back for softwood lumber.

I made fun of Bush, used the word cajones, and in general the editorial was shallow, poorly researched and crappy. He didn't say a thing, he thought it was funny.

6. I knew mine was going to be vetoed in full or in part
At least now I have a little guidance. He's still letting me rant, but I have to make a case for why this is bad for my readers. Easier said than done. (I'm going with an "undermining competition" angle right now.)
