MSM Notices a "Homegrown" Terror Problem

For years, the pro-immigration cheerleaders insisted that America did immigrant assimilation better than Europe, so there was no reason to fear Muslim immigrants turning into bombers. However, recent events have made that fable difficult to maintain, e.g.

Ahhhooogggaaa! WaPo Discovers A "Second" Generation Of Latinos

The Washington Post breaks the astonishing news that there's actually a second generation of Latinos in the United States. Who could possibly have known that not all Mexican-Americans are immigrants? Nobody in Washington--or in New York, for that matter--ever noticed any Mexicans around before a few years ago. How could we in the East Coast media centers have foreseen that they would reproduce?

"Moody, Indecisive And Always Trying To Behave Like A Man, Why Ladies Make Truly Lousy Bosses "

A friend sends this article from the U.K. Daily Mail by Amanda Platell about problems women have being good bosses.

I was a good manager of people, but a lousy risk-taker. With our typical propensity for multi-tasking, I was more comfortable doing ten things at once and keeping all the balls in the air than what was really needed, to focus on one task and nail that ball in the back of the net.

Obamacare and Nonimmigrants

Very little has been said about whether H-1B visa holders will qualify for national healthcare if Obamacare is passed (read CRS study: "Treatment of Noncitizens in H.R. 3200"). It's important to understand the nuances of this issue because the bills being proposed by the House and Senate could lead to unintended consequences as they are applied to H-1B/L-1 and other nonimmigrant visas.

Mixteco-speaking immigrants in the Pacific Northwest Want To Assimilate--By Learning Spanish!

This article from Washington State may reveal more than the reporter intended about the cultural chasm between some "immigrants" and our own society. Also, they come to America for the money only.

Tiger Woods Accused Of Being A Racist Hound

From the AP:

Tiger's troubles widen his distance from blacks
By JESSE WASHINGTON

Amid all the headlines generated by Tiger Woods' troubles - the puzzling car accident, the suggestions of marital turmoil and multiple mistresses - little attention has been given to the race of the women linked with the world's greatest golfer.

Golfers and Divorce

I haven't tried to look at the numbers, but my impression is that tour golfers have a higher divorce rate than is typical for men of their backgrounds: 95-120 IQ, some college, middle-class-to-wealthy upbringings, high levels of work ethic and emotional control, low to medium levels of gregariousness. Most articles I've read breaking down the high burn rate of golfers' money (they don't get free travel or lodging like team athletes do) include a line item for alimony. Presumably, it's the travel.
