Representative Dana Rohrabacher, Republican of California, dismissed arguments made by President Bush and business leaders who say the United States needs a pool of foreign workers. He said businesses should be more creative in their efforts to find help and suggested that employers turn to the prison population to fill jobs in agriculture and elsewhere.

"Let the prisoners pick the fruits," Mr. Rohrabacher said. "We can do it without bringing in millions of foreigners."

I refuse to be struck speechless by this. While people natter on about conspiracy theories around 9/11, here we have the largest prison nation on earth, where imprisoning people has become a profitable growth industry, and now the "final solution." Makes perfect sense from a certain omnipotent viewpoint, doesn't it?

If I owned a farm or an orchard I'll be damned if I'd want people like Duke Cunningham, Tom DeLay, Scooter Libbey, Ken Lay and the rest of those crooks working for me.

They'd steal me blind.
