The Ardmoreite blog looks fantastic!  I know when I was doing my internship at The Daily Ardmoreite this summer, the brilliant minds behind the online aspect of the paper were trying to get the blog idea off the ground.  During my internship, I wrote a blog primarily about immigration.  It was fun and a great learning experience.

There’s a dark horse in the Senate, and he would like to purge the bipartisan immigration bill from existence.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, made a stealthy move, proposing a bid that would bar felons, including immigrants court-ordered to be deported, from legalization.
