ARIZONA FORCED TO HALT BORDER FENCE

BUSH AND MCCAIN HAD BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS:

Construction on ''virtual fence'' projects scheduled along Arizona's border with Mexico is on hold indefinitely because the Interior Department hasn't signed off on use of its lands, federal officials said Tuesday.

Interior officials refused to accept a proposed finding in an environmental assessment produced for the U.S. Border Patrol that putting towers with radar, cameras and communications equipment on Interior Department lands would have no significant impact, said Mike Friel, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Authority to waive environmental laws for border security projects was granted to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff under a 2005 congressional act, but the law does not extend to virtual fence projects, Friel said.

Boeing Co., the prime contractor on the projects for the Department of Homeland Security, has suspended work, with no resumption date set.

IF MCCAIN AND BUSH DITHER, THEN ME AND MILLIONS LIKE ME MIGHT NOT VOTE THIS FALL... (WE WON'T VOTE FOR SENOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE PARROTS THE RECONQUISTA FOLKS! [VIA HOT AIR])

BUT WE CAN STAY HOME.

IOW: I WILL STAY HOME ACCORDINGLY.
