I found it odd, or maybe I shouldn't, that Bush has been dancing with the Mexicans throughout his entire term in office. The first time he was elected, he courted Fox, and not the Prime Minister of Canada. This was highly unusual as the PM of Canada has always been the first head of state to meet with the new president.

Bush has allowed, and even considering to legalize, Mexican immigrants jumping the fence into the US. I know many Americans are conerned about this, but one does not have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Bush was governor of Texas (borders the Mexican border), has a ranch in Crawford Texas, near the Mexican border, and allows member of Mexican gangs to infiltrate, illegally, the American borders. It appears that Bush has a soft spot for the Mexicans, or should I say, Mexican oil, to go against the will of the American people.

Canada is just a country to the north. Nevermind that we are the US's largest traing partner, and largest supplier of natural gas and oil. However, we do have oil, and lots of it. And it really surprises me that he is not courting the Canadian government as eagerly as he does with the Mexicans. (any Mexicans on this site, don't get me wrong. You have a beautiful country with beautiful beaches/palm trees, sandy beaches, oh wait, I was just looking out my window and dreamin', sorry).

All I'm saying is that if Clinton, or Guiliani gets in, they probably won't court the Mexican government as eagerly as Mr. Bush. So if some project connects Mexico City through Kansas to Winnipeg, I believe that is what Bush would want in his legacy.

Okay, back to shovelling snow.........

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
