You mentioned "Crooked Timber" as a favorite blog. I see he is an "ill wisher," like many on the left. MINUTEMAN PROJECT: SO FAR, SO GOOD By malkin · April 03, 2005 04:25 PM michellemalkin.com The Arizona Daily Star covers the first documented encounter between the Minutemen and an illegal alien. Did the Minutemen threaten the Mexican immigrant? Did they apprehend him? Did they shoot him on the spot? Well, no, not exactly: NACO, Ariz. - Minuteman Project volunteers helped an illegal entrant in distress late Friday. The incident was the first documented encounter between the volunteers and Mexican nationals sneaking across the border, officials said. The incident happened around midnight when a tired and thirsty illegal entrant who'd been separated from his group approached Minuteman volunteers at the Bible College in Palominas, said U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Andy Adame. Project volunteers have been camping out at the college. The man was deported by the U.S. Border Patrol. Presumably Border Patrol officials were called to the scene by the Minuteman volunteers. So far, the Daily Star reports, there have been no reports of violence associated with the Minuteman Project. Which will be disappointing, no doubt, to the likes of ill-willed detractors such as this one on the liberal blog, Crooked Timber: crookedtimber.org It’s wrong of me, I know, but I hope for much worse for them. These folks are really making me mad. Interestingly, several other commenters came to the Minutemen's defense.

John believe Santorum got elected during the process of throw out the incumbent party. It was a year for big change in representation. He was running against the fellow who ran peace core many years ago (forgot name) and came out of retirement for appointment as senator to replace Heinz. Perhaps it was elect a republican at any cost , for the sake of change? (my memory does get things confused) Santorum comes across as a very abrasive person. I never understood how he got elected other than right time to run and no one else thought so in adm. he came from Western part of pa and must have picked up votes in counties outside philly.. These counties are now all running democrat with more moving out of philly. chester county still strong republican but also changing. I do not see Santorum beating Casey with Rendell also on the ticket running for election back into governor office. Lots of money will be piling into Pa. and lots of national coverage on this race.
