What the fsck is WRONG with this country?

It appears that the immigration people simply did not believe that Jeremy could make a living as a blogger. And they gave him the third degree - including an humiliating strip search - as a result for some hours. And banned him from entering the US.

Come on. Somebody. Try and defend this. I fucking dare you.

So because I don't know your phone number, I can't possibly have talked to you?

I'm more amazed that you can make a living as a blogger...and here I am, working on webcomics like a sucker!

Ain't it amazing what you learn on the net?

Gotta wonder at the stupidity if petty bureaucrats and their appointed officials, don't you?

Hey, clue, Government People: People have been communicating without having ever met each other face-to-face or exchanged spoken words since LONG before the invention of the telephone. For example, the US has this new-fangled goldurn thing called a "postal service" ....

Dammit, I'm screwed. I can't reliably remember my own phone number. I guess I don't exist.

Y'know, if someone's smart enough to make their living as a blogger I *want* them in this country. This land is in serious need of smartening up.
