Thursday, October 26, 2006  The sacred Middle Class.  Over at's
front page, the link to Lou Dobbs' column reads "Dobbs: Middle
class victims of illegal immigration". That's always the way to

Really. Don't believe me? Go ask any American whether he'd
consider himself "Poor" or "Rich" or what, and I guarantee you
that unless he's currently sitting in a cardboard box over a
sidewalk grate or on the deck of a 125' yacht anchored off Cabo
San Lucas, he'll say "Neither, really. I reckon I'm just middle
class." This is maybe the only nation on the planet where the
guy in the $500,000 house with a new Benz in the driveway and
the single mom making $8/hr at the Food Lion and living in a
single wide will both sigh and turn up the volume to listen in
when the TV announcer says "A new threat to the Middle Class!",
thinking he's talking to them.  Look, Lou, illegal immigration
may be wreaking all man
