Mexican Radio (for help)

A quote from my extremely sweet grandmother: "If your grandfather would just teach me to shoot a gun, I'd sit on the border and shoot those darn immigrants myself. They need to die. That'll teach 'em a lesson." I already knew that she subscribed to some right-wing magazine devoted to the issue of illegal immigration, but this level of single-minded devotion was entirely new.

In this same conversation, the terms "Peace-nik" and "Arab" (pronounced Ay-rab) were thrown out and discussed. As always, I played my political cards extremely close to my vest, so to speak. I just nodded and lost myself in the meal, specifically the cauliflower. That was good cauliflower...a hint of butter and a dash of paprika for color and flavor.

The sad thing is, that a bunch of those illegal immigrants are just coming to try to make a better life for themselves and their families.
