"America is America for everyone except Americans"

The title of this post is a quote from Joseph Vento, author of the current tempest in a teacup currently brewing in Philadelphia.

He put up a sign that said 'This is America, when ordering, please speak English'. Naturally, with the whole immigration thing going on now, this caused no end of sound bites for the network news controversy.

In all the news stories I've heard or read, the irony of the sign seems to have passed everyone by.

If you can't speak English, how can you read the sign?

They had an assembly today, for the last day of school, where they handed out 'Caught Being Good' awards and Student of the Month awards and so forth. Charlie got called up four times!

He got Student of the Month for Spanish and Honesty, and got one "Caught Being Good", but for what I don't know, and he got a citizenship pin.

Would have been nice if they'd told me this was happening and I could have actually been there with a camera. Oh well.

Charlie's hit video

This is from last week's game.

Charlie's hit

Tonight's game was rather exciting, believe it or not. They were down 10 - 13 in the bottom of the last inning, and scored 4 runs to win the game.

Charlie made a good hit tonight, too, and scored a run.

So yay.

PS You might have to hit 'play' again to get the full video.
