Amazing Juxtaposition

As I said earlier, I am a known channel surfer. I stopped on Fox TV and saw the most amazing thing. It was a news teaser for an upcoming news story. It said something like this, "Immigrants coming over our southern border are bringing in criminality, disease, and terrorism." This was aimed squarely at Mexican and Central Americans coming to find work. No doubt about it.

Now, get this. The next thing to appear was an Army recruting advertisment in Spanish.

This is not a joke. This really happened. The one time I land on the Fox Channel, which I never watch any more, and I see this. Even the Simpsons can't lure me back for fear it will give better ratings to these people.

’Twas strange, ’twas passing strange,
’Twas pitiful; ’twas wondrous pitiful;
