Amazing . . .

Those in California have probably heard the latest banter between the candidates for governor. One of them got ahead of the other in the polls, had a good debate, and, suddenly, a rabid lawyer just happens to pick up something about the candidate that is making ground. Oh, and the lawyer is also good friends with the opposition!

The premise is that one of the candidates fired her illegal alien housekeeper and the housekeeper is coming forward to discuss her mistreatment and dismissal. She claims she was only fired because her boss was running for office. The poor woman! She only made around $50,000 a year working there. She also worked there more than five years which makes one wonder exactly HOW mistreated she was.

As I watch the almost daily news casts and meet the press situations, I have to wonder at the way this is all going. The illegal alien admits to falsifying her identification and using someone else's Social Security number to get the job. Why isn't the victim of identify theft being helped? Why are they giving press to the person who stole the Social Security number being looked at in the light of being a thief?

The lawyer representing the illegal alien isn't being very lawyer-like with her response to questions. You have to wonder about a world that exalts the criminal aspects of a person's behavior.
