Brad Thor, one of the finest thriller writers in the world today, whose books usually take on Islamic Radical Fundamentalist terrorists, is now taking on the National Football League.

Huh?

Yeah, you read that correctly. In his blog on Amazon.com, Thor cites this recent Fox News report that the NFL refused to run a U.S. Border Patrol recruitment ad in last month’s Super Bowl program because it thought certain language in the ad, specifically the terms “terrorists,” “illegal aliens” and “drug smugglers”, might offend attendees. Because of this, Thor is calling for a boycott of the NFL.

“To say that I am shocked is an understatement,” Thor states in his blog post, “I never knew that terrorists, illegal aliens and drug smugglers comprised such a stalwart base of NFL customers. Heaven forbid the NFL should offend them.”

Thor believes the NFL made this decision because they are currently considering a foreign franchise in the next 10 years, with Mexico City a strong contender. He cites this quote from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell:

“We love Mexico. We have a great fan base there. It’s growing every day. We are very interested in going back. And we hope to be dealing with the various officials in Mexico to try to get that done for the 2008 season.”

To me, it does seem silly that the NFL would decline to take money from the government to run this ad that hoped to help reach President Bush’s goal of boosting Border Patrol’s ranks to 18,000. I mean, if the NFL really wants Mexico to have a franchise doesn’t it behoove the league to keep the potential fan base in that country? At this rate, the best way to reach the Mexican market would be to finally bring an NFL franchise back to Los Angeles!

I vow to fully support Brad Thor’s call for a boycott of the National Football League. . .at least until September.

I also vow NOT to watch the NFL Network that is still currently unavailable on my local cable system.

By the way, Brad Thor is from Chicago and is a Chicago Bears fan though that is reportedly not the cause of his bitterness towards the game of football.

Every so often I come up with a brilliant idea that solves a huge problem. This morning fits into the category of “every so often.”

I was in the midst of doing my daily online reading at some of the finest sites the web has to offer and I read this post on “Jenn of the Jungle’s” Liberal bitch-slapping website.

It was a little item on Mexicans and illegal workers and border control—the stuff we’ve all heard before. But this time, it sparked a thought, that sparked another one, and then yet again another thought was sparked. If you’re counting, that’s three sparks.

I have a great idea that will be a win-win for the ENTIRE WORLD! Ready for this? Let the illegal Mexicans work in the US.

Have you gone mad, Dr. Blogstein? Clearly I have as I’m talking to myself. But if you had asked if I’ve gone mad, let me sooth your mind.

Yes, let the illegal Mexicans work in the US…but first, they must join our army.

Talk about killing too two birds (and a few terrorists) with one stone!

Firstly, this would put a policy in place that sets rules and boundaries on who can work in this country and what they have to do to earn the right to work here. Before they can earn our money, they must put in a set amount of time defending the freedom and prosperity that Americans cherish and the Mexicans want. Also, this allows us to put harsher penalties to those illegals who try to sneak in and work without fulfilling their military duties. They could be tried for treason or whatever deserters get charged with.

And the second bird my stone slaughters is the recruiting problems the military is having. Talk about doing the jobs that Americans don’t want to do! Plus, an added bonus to having these Mexicans in our military and fighting in Iraq is the prospect that we one day may have to go into Iran. We’ll have an army filled with soldiers with experience in sneaking over borders undetected. They’ll become our secret weapons!

This plan seems flawless and genius. I think eventually I’ll have to run for office because its really not fair to have these brilliant ideas and have no where to put them into play.

Soy Dr. Blogstein y yo apruebo este mensaje.

Adios.
