Shakira visits Arizona over tough immigration law

Shakira also made a stop at the state Capitol in downtown Phoenix, telling a group of a few hundred community members that if the law were in effect, she could be arrested since she didn't bring her driver's license to Arizona.

"I'm here pretty much undocumented," she told the crowd, who screamed her name and took photos of her with cameras and cell phones.

She called on the U.S. Congress to work on immigration reform. "No person should be detained because of the color of their skin," she said.

Shakira, bb, I love your music, but you're a little off the mark. You've clearly failed to pay attention to the governor's assertion that racial profiling will not be tolerated under the new law. Don't worry, though, you're not alone: half of the country seems to be under the same misconception.

(You also wouldn't be detained, because you're obviously not living here illegally and therefore you wouldn't be giving probable cause, but I guess you also missed the mark on that.)

Barack Obama to require 400 hours of community service for every college student.

Don't get me wrong. Community service is great and all, if you like it. But forcing people to do community service just smacks of slavery, mmkay? Nice job, Obama. I'm really going to look forward to 400 hours of community service in college. You know, spending 400 hours of my time doing something that doesn't interest me, time that I could be using to, oh, I don't know, do my schoolwork so that I don't fail all my classes. Or, like, have a life.

Btw... I am fully aware that, like, 90% of LiveJournal is liberal and will therefore hate me for raining on the Obama parade. Whatever, I really don't care. =)
