Wednesday's notes & links

Just a few notes today:

Herman Cain reminds us that our legislators have done nothing about the problems inherent in the Social Security scam. If you're under 50 you'd be foolish to expect the current system to be around when reach retirement.

Here is the biggest non-story of the day:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales admitted yesterday it's "just not clear" if his Mexican-immigrant grandparents settled in the U.S. legally. "Three of my grandparents were born in Mexico. They came to Texas," Gonzales told CNN. Pressed by Wolf Blitzer, Gonzales conceded he didn't know if they sneaked across the border like millions of illegals at issue in the current debate. "It's unclear. It's unclear," Gonzales said. "And I've looked at this issue, I've talked to my parents about it, and it's just not clear."

Who cares? I have no idea if my grandparents or great grandparents asked permission to enter the United States either. Are we concerned with people sneaking into the country 60 years ago or today? He was born and raised in this country and served in our military (Air Force). Last I checked we don't punish people for something their ancestors may have done.

This is a couple days old but definitely worth reading. Imagine if we’d reported and opined on WWII the way we do now by Victor Davis Hanson
