Abortion Leads to Illegal Immigrants?
Former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay told a gathering of College Republicans that a link exists between legal abortion and illegal immigration in America. The remarks were included in a video produced by writer Max Blumenthal and posted at The Huffington Post.
“I contend [abortion] affects you in immigration,” DeLay told the Washington-area gathering. “If we had those 40 million children that were killed over the last 30 years, we wouldn’t need the illegal immigrants to fill the jobs that they are doing today. Think about it.”
Blumenthal was later apparently forcibly escorted out of the conference by College Republican staff. [Link]

Being back in California reminds me of all the things that used to make me so happy. The weather, the people, the land and life, it is all America’s best here.
I am hoping to meet up with some fellow photographers while I’m here to see how they do the awesome photography that they do.
Right now I’m sitting at Aroma Roasters enjoying the coffee shop I patronized so much just a little over a year ago.
I can’t believe I left this place.

So I’m here in California, just loving it out here! A friend of mine, Damon, was convinced, by me, that he needed a website.
So I took the liberty to build him one today. The site is really basic, nothing all that flashy. Tell me what you think though!
Now for the Main Event
We almost didn’t make it to see the fireworks. It was touch and go as we were still eating when we heard the first crack of the fireworks. We actually missed much of the show, but thanks to Landon, we made it just in time to get a few glimpses at the show from the roof of his office building.
Now for the fireworks…
And then there were all of the cities surrounding Washington DC having their own fireworks shows. It was awesome to stand on the roof of Landon’s building and see six or more different fireworks shows 360 degrees around you.
And here is why I love my new (yet old) lens. These next two shots were taken from Landon’s building in the heart of Washington DC of a fireworks show in Maryland Virigina!
Sk8 P@rks R Gr8!
So, while we waited for the fireworks, drank some water and sat waiting for Landon’s friend Paul’s friend Kate to show up, we watched the skateboarders. Afterwards, about thirty minutes later, we would all be evacuated from the American Mall because of tornado warnings.
Luckily, we had already left for the bars before that happened haha.
This guy was so graceful on the board, just swept through all of the chaos. He was definitely cooler than me. LoL
I just love that tattoo. Always nice to find a punk-rock-skateboarder who loves his gays and… well is gay himself. I find that incredibly, uncontrollably hot. Call me a punk-rock lover!
Really though, I have found myself, since California, being just infatuated with punk-rock, emo, skateboarding, hipsters.
Nota bene… he didn’t wipe out, somehow, either through amazing physics bending or magic, he landed and rolled away. Kinda reminded me of Fat Albert, no offense… ;-)
This guy (above and below) could get some serious air. It amazed me every time because it seemed to defy gravity how he could jump up from either a standing or moving position, flip his board over a few times while soaring a few feet into the air. Yes, soaring feet… haha
This one was like four feet tall. He was pretty awesome though :) Probably that lower center of gravity thing… Hmm, I don’t know.
Disappointed Turnout
Come on! It’s G*d-Damned-America on it’s G*d-Damned-Birthday! Where are all of the G*d-Damned-Protesters? haha
There were only two, one who has been there for over 25 years, 24 hours a day and one… Either crazy or one hell of an interesting story.
DC Nights
Landon was a doll guiding me through the city tonight. Awe!
