She is of the Caucasian persuasion.

That is a race not an ethnicity.  What country did her ancestors come from.

Sorry, misread that. Not from the Caucasus, but English and Irish.
I think they came over in the late 1800s.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Look, Star Wars can even usher a mildly funny SNL skit:

I went to see Star Wars and coming back I saw SWAT van barreling down the road.  Hopefully nothing bad is going on.

Well we passed him so, he was going toward the mall and I was going home.  I'm just hoping there isn't some crazed shooter out there.

The ability to propel tiny bits of lead through a person's body is insignificant next to the power of the force.  :sleep:

Turned out to be some violent felon from North Dakota or something.  Police got a tip, put him under observation and called in the big guns.  Gave Jerry something to do for the afternoon.

Exactly. And oh btw, as some from a border state, I don't really use the term with some malicious intent. Illegal immigrants play a big role in economies like California (and thus the US) and I wish we could get serious on a plan that would confirm with the realities of the situation we are in (aka they are coming so how do we make sure they are then not exploited/can be integrated into society).

Yep. But that went nowhere. That was actually something I was foolishly hopeful Dubya was going to do something about, back when I thought the Republicans were about rational policies.

He did try, congress just wouldn't play ball.

Well I thought it was going to be more of a priority and would be done early on when he had a strong mandate. Instead it came later. Ah well. I just remember back to those exciting times when Republican victories seemed like promising developments.
