More immigration Outrages

The newspapers from the past few days have more evidence of the remarkable cruelty and sheer idiocy of the nation's immigration policy.

First, the cruelty: word from the LA Times that border officials are attaching razor wire to the border fence.

And then the idiocy: news from Texas that customs officials are insisting on checking for proof of citizenship during emergency evacuations. Having learned nothing from Katrina, federal officials now want to slow evacuations down with red tape.

Incredible.

FYI - the photo is by the exceptional (and Pultizer Prize-winning) Don Bartletti of the LA Times. He and reporter Sonia Nazarro each won Pulitzers for their artful and moving series on immigration, "Enrique's Journey."

The Stanford Swim Team. They should make a calendar.

Abercrombie & Fitch couldn't do it better. I'm not sure Falcon video could either.

Every year, plebes at the U.S. Naval Academy engage in a popular and public act of homeroticism. They strip to their shorts, grease each other up, and climb/slid/slide all over each other to mount a large, well-lubed phallic symbol. I kid you not. And it's hit.

Pretty much every gay male feels obligated to post photos on the event. Here is one -- but for a more full gallery, check out Towleroad or OHLALA Mag.
