Just for the record, I went to the local Circuit City yesterday after work to pick up "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" on DVD. The movie had been released Tuesday and Circuit City was selling it for a mere $13.99. Unfortunately, I failed. They were completely sold out. On […]

So, the Senate has apparently come up with a compromise that would allow all the people who broke America's immigration laws more than two years ago to stay in the United States and eventually become citizens.
