U.S. Border Patrol Uses Music as Deterrent

I just read an article in the Washington Post  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/13/AR2009031304234.html where the U.S. Border Patrol is using music as a deterrent to keep Mexicans from crossing the border into the U.S. illegally. The U.S. government has paid an advertising agency to record Mexican folk songs about tragic border crossings. The cds have been distributed to Mexican radio stations near the border and they are actually playing the songs.  whatzupwithat?

Help Me Wash My Hands Please!

I just walked into the restroom at a local restaurant. I walked up to the sink to wash my hands upon my exit. What…no soap? Okay, I have been told to wash your hands for three minutes under running water when one finds himself in this situation so I proceed to do just that. As I turn to the paper towel dispenser, I am hit with the realization that there are no paper towels either.  This is the third time I have encountered this at three different public restrooms in the last week! Did our government miss something huge in the so-called “stimulus plan?”  whatzupwithat?
