It's a learning experience. one he should most definitely take to heart: never try to rush anything. The email he sent me almost hurt. Almost. Except he got a few facts wrong and made it out to believe that I had basically led him on and then just stabbed him down. Okay, so maybe I was a bit blunt with the leave me alone schtick, but seriously, was I suppose to sugar coat it? That's where I messed up anyway. So anyways, I never want's to see me again and I stabbed his heart and killed him and yadda yadda yadda. Whatever. Like someone once told me, I'm not responsible for his happiness. I didn't hurt him intentionally. But I apologized anyway. Besides, I didn't tell him to get in that deep anyway. So anyhow, maybe he'll grow up. Maybe he won't. That's not my problem. And I'm not his mother. So there be it. Yeah, I do feel a tad bit guilty but it's his fault too. He shoul

Backers of immigration bill more optimistic
0000-00-00 00:00:00
After a week at home with their constituents, the Senate architects of a delicate immigration compromise are increasingly convinced that they will hold together this week to pass an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, with momentum building behind one unifying theme: Today's immigration system is too broken to go unaddressed. Congress's week-long Memorial Day recess was expected to leave the bill in tatters. But with a week of action set to begin today, the legislation's champions say they believe that the voices of opposition, especially from conservatives, represent a small segment of public opinion. Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), who led negotiations on the bill for his party, said the flood of angry calls and protests that greeted the deal two weeks ago has since receded every day.
