RDBowker:  O Canada!  The land of Greyhouse buses and untreated schizophrenia.  Maybe it wasn’t his fault–he got tired of waiting for an appointment at his socialized medical clinic, and needed a snack!  [Note:  the article has updated to let everyone know that this happened on a Greyhound bus; apparently the Greyhouse bus company was unhappy with the adverse publicity.]

RDBowker:  Probably the healthiest thing on the menu.  No, seriously–“Turns out it tasted like finger.”?!?  I wonder what kind of warning label this lawsuit will result in: “Caution–product may give you the finger.”  (Gross scientific observation:  apparently human flesh is tougher than roast beef.)

Immigrant’s use of phony Social Security card not a bar to naturalization

RDBowker:  Wrong on so many levels.  You steal a person’s identity, and present a forged and fraudulent  instrument for the purpose of getting a job.  The law says that  making a false claim to U.S. citizenship is grounds for denying permanent residence and for deportation, but courts have restricted immigration’s right to penalize a person for claiming U.S. citizenship in employment.  So you can lie about your status, as long as you are trying to take a job away from a legitimate US citizen.  Am I missing something here?
