Vicente and Friendly Fire's 1000th!
This is the 1000th post on Friendly Fire, so let's let Vicente Fox help us celebrate with a bang (or a scary, claw-shaped hand, as is the photo)!
Today in the Daily News is the first part of my Friday interview with the former president of Mexico, in which he gamely answers questions such as this:
-- On the 138,000 letters sent by the government to employers in 2006 - including 35,474 in California - advising companies that they had workers with suspicious Social Security numbers: "I don't know any case of using different Social Security numbers. I hear people say this and many other things. I don't know why we have to generalize that my people would be doing that..."-- On whether America should have an open border with Mexico: "I'm not for open borders; I'm not for breaking the law."
Read the article here, on page 4 of your paper today! My upcoming column will focus on the rest of our interview, dealing with a little thing I love called foreign policy...
