#28: Fence, Schmence...Build a Wall!!

I heard on talk radio today on the way home from Doc Dracula's some more hooha about building a fence along the Texas-Mexico border to keep out folks from our southern sphere of influence south of the Rio Grande. I think we should get all the people who want a fence to volunteer to dig the 2,000 mile footer that a Great Wall of Texas would require, then get all the out of work masons we have in America to build a structure that would make the Great Wall of China look shabby by comparison. We could also have a 'buy a stone' campaign with names inscribed on the stones of those who contribute MONEY to help finance the project in a patriotic show of taxpayer relief!! (We'll probably have to get China to ship us building supplies, from what I understand of our import-export situation right now, however, but we can probably cut a deal with them, too.)
AND, to kill two birds with one stone, if that's not a politically incorrect adage...taxpayer dollars could be used through FEMA to fill bags with the dirt from the Texas Wall for use to rebuild the levees in N'Awlins that STILL is a city that could get washed away any day, thanks to the brilliance of whomever it was that designed the town and picked the spot in the first place!!
Just think, we wouldn't even have to sacrifice two million lives the way the Emperors did to build their fabulous tourist monument.
We could also get the moguls in the food industry to cater the work parties and get lots of advertising with MSNBC footage!!
Of course, Jiffy John, Port-O-Potty, and other similar companies would have to provide the 'necessaries' as they were called in the movie, '1776'.
Got Chili, Red Beans, & Beer Y'all?
