MEXICO CITY -- After decades of discussion, Congress on Friday finally approved construction of a 700-mile fence along the U.S./Mexico border. Four days later, Mexico approved construction of a massive, 700-mile-long ladder.
Mexican President Vincente Fox angrily denounced the U.S. fence, comparing it to the infamous Berlin Wall.
"When the Soviets divided Berlin with their enormous, terrifying wall, the world watched in horror as innocent West Germans were brutally deprived of the right to experience East Germany's plentiful gulags, pogroms, midnight disappearances, food shortages, executions, and overall state repression," Fox said.
"If America builds this fence, it will similarly deprive millions of its own citizens of the right to a life of squalor, hard manual labor, bad health care, and massive government corruption here in sunny Mexico. Plus, it'll keep all of us out."
Over the weekend, Mexico's Congress approved the 700-mile-long ladder "to allow the struggling American worker easy access to the incalculable benefits of the Mexican economy."
President Fox said the ladder would allow displaced U.S. workers trying to reach their American employers with the ability to "just glide right over the top" of the fence. "That fence'll maybe slow us down 20, 30 seconds, tops," he said. "I mean, them. Slow them down."
President Bush responded by calling the ladder "unhelpful."
"I mean, it is literally unhelpful," Bush said. "The fence is only 700 miles long. The U.S./Mexican border is about 2,000 miles long. Why don't they just walk around it like I told 'em to?"
Shouldn't that be a 700 mile WIDE ladder?

Life
--- By Allan Houston
Life can be good,
Life can be bad,
Life is mostly cheerful,
But sometimes sad.
Life can be dreams,
Life can be great thoughts;
Life can mean a person,
Sitting in court.
Life can be dirty,
Life can even be painful;
But life is what you make it,
So try to make it beautiful.
