Morning Roundup: Lou Dobbs Leaves His Home for an Unfamiliar Land Edition

rainy rock creek

Lou Dobbs has left CNN! Absent the stain of his nativist zealotry, the cable network can get back to journalism. It's too bad Dobbs' immigration obsession overshadows what was often an eloquent, and lonely, concern about America's middle class. I am a member of this group and now have no money, probably because of all those copy editors streaming across the border, but if I did, I would maybe buy this T-shirt, which reminds me of my favorite American football team.

TALK ABOUT BURYING THE LEDE! DR. DREMO'S IS BACK! OR WILL BE. PERHAPS.

If you lived in Arlington in the glory days before punk died there, which was right around when it broke if that makes any sense, there were Galaxy Hut people and Bardo/Dr. Dremo's people. You had to choose! I was a Galaxy Hut person, but I am glad that a new generation of Dave Matthews Band fans in baseball hats (full disclosure: I like Dave Matthews and often wear a baseball hat that reminds me of my favorite football team) will have a place to get wasted and smooch before they rocket past the middle class.

The Japanese don't like us? Huh. Also related, in that I came to both stories on the same Web site, LeBron doesn't want to talk about free agency anymore.

If you are reading this, you probably don't know that the CMAs were last night, and you probably don't know what the CMAs are. They are awards for country-music millionaires. One of them cleaned up last night. Guess who? No Kanye jokes, K?

The Nats pick Jim Riggleman as their manager, thus denying us not only the prospect of a winning season anytime soon, but also the opportunity to enjoy Bobby Valentine's marvelous antics. Also, Ryan Zimmerman got a Golden Glove, which is weird, because how many times did he wing one past first base into the stands last year? Maybe it's because you don't  throw with your glove, I dunno.

BIKE COMMUTING CORNER: Your helmet may come with a visor. Take it off. EXCEPT! When it rains. Then those are quite handy.

    Lou Dobbs was my hero. He reported daily my the illegal alien crisis in the United States. Shit, I live in the mess daily in the D.C. area. Deport all illegal aliens back to their native countries. We are importing trash from El Salvador and Mexico.

    At least Lou Dobbs gave some semblance of center-right sanity to CNN.

    Reading the story about an illegal immigrant suing Frederick police because they asked her for ID and, lo and behold, discovered she was illegal, without probably cause is now grounds for a lawsuit? How can she have standing when she doesn't belong here in the first place?

    We need to get serious about deporting these people (start by going after the people protesting verification of Social Security numbers because some people might have to spend some time clearing up mistakes)

    US Citizen- Please go back to your native country. In the 400 years you have been here, you have created nothing but a catastrophe. What was once a beautiful country is not officially a shit-hole. Since, you have been here, my country has gone down the tube. I'm now forced to live in supportive housing- reservations, because of you. I can't work anymore because you've razed my workplace- the open lands, and put up congested, smog-infested cities. Please, this country wasn't made to support trash like you. Go back to whereever you came from.

    Lou Dobbs was deported last night. "U.S. officials on Wednesday deported Luis Miguel Dominguez, who for the last 48 years had been living illegally in the United States under the name Lou Dobbs."

    Lou Dobbs was..is and always will be a idiot. I think he shot at his own house to get attention.
