Somehow, thanks to age and ennui, I keep losing track of just what the hell the Federal Government is good for:

EL PASO – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today demanded that President Obama send more troops to the Texas-Mexico border and used the shots that hit El Paso City Hall as an example of increased violence on the border.

Mexican gun battles with bullets hitting Texas city halls. I remember reading about times like this, somewhere in my undirected reading over the last 45 years. There was a solution to the problem as they saw it whenever it was that such an unthinkable thing happened. I wonder if it would work now. Probably not. Right?

Here in 2010, I can’t help but giggle at the idea of an Obammy Uncle Sam chasing after a murdering Mexican, except maybe to give him a green card and a motor-voter application.
