DAILY PUNDIT - The World's Smallest Violin.... Prop. 200 vote panics immigrants The group has said it will ask a judge to issue a preliminary injunction against Proposition 200 after the results are certified Nov. 22. The initiative requires Arizonans to prove citizenship when seeking public benefits or when registering to vote. Government employees will have to report to immigration authorities suspected undocumented immigrants seeking public benefits Some of the nation's most prominent Latinos, including Janet Murgia of the National Council of La Raza, will be in Phoenix today to try to reduce immigrants' fears. Their strategies include working with Spanish-language media to get their messages across. Martin Delgado, a legal resident, said he fears for his wife, Antonia, because she's here illegally. She is among the estimated 300,000 to 350,000 undocumented immigrants in Arizona who, Latino leaders fear, may be forced to go further underground. Criminals are worried? What a shame!

>>Russia signs, but so what?<< Lindy, 1) US corporations will have to comply with Kyoto in their foreign operations, now that Russia has ratified the treaty. 2) Kyoto ratification plus next week's Arctic impact report will raise the profile of the global warming issue. May lead to international talks to fix the flawed Kyoto treaty, but I doubt anything will be accomplished until there is a crisis. 3) I expect a crisis, but the timing is hard to predict. It may be sooner than people think. Things are getting weird in the Arctic. 4) One tidbit you'll probably relish: some are starting to blame global warming on the Greens because of their opposition to nuclear power. Oh, the irony! -Snow
