Funny how my mind keyes off trivia...

Ok, I'm browsing the CNN homepage (there is a very good article today about an El Paso woman that takes food and needed supplies to Juarez for the poor) and see the following link (many I've seen lately originate from Florida TV news, so it sets the stage in this case):

KPRC: Wife: Emilio 'back with us again'

I'm thinking, USCIS Director Dr. Emilio Gonzales's resignation is effective today, and he's been working in Washington away from his wife and family in Florida for a few years (but he phrases that the resignation is so he can be with his family again, not because all of the administrative troubles USCIS is having in his tenure). But is it news for his wife to say he's back with his family, especially since it wasn't announced of USCIS pages at all, and really isn't common knowledge (full names of all current American Idol contestants right now is probably known better)?

Oh, it's about Tejano singer Emilio Navaira III being released from ICU after the bus accident to a private room at the hospital (certainly good news)...

But just funny on the sidetracks my brain travels on sometimes...

I thought it was going to be some more propaganda about Dr. Gonzales's resignation (CNN has been putting up un-newsworthy links to their own Glenn Beck's program to try to drive up his exposure lately) like the "Fit to Print (http://www.dhs.gov/journal/leadership/2008/03/fit-to-print.html)" defense he wrote after his resignation was announced (the webpage comments capped off after a week, but I signed up for e-mail updates from the page, and the immigration/naturalization comments that are overflowing from there are truly horror stories about USCIS). My comments made it in time to be displayed on the page:

"Director Gonzales is taking the last parachute and bailing out, leaving the other 17,000 USCIS employees to figure out that the plane is going to crash. It will take awhile, because they will expect endless flight plan change forms to be filed. Communications will be sparse, and ground control will hear a bewildering “Call us in 90 days to find out if anything has changed.” reply trying to guide them in. Emergency crews will never receive a “Notice of Action” to mobilize them to look through the wreckage for survivors. But the USCIS workers will at least get posthumous benefits to be buried in the United States because of their service to this country."

Hope I don't get the goons sic'ed on me for that.

I, and many others, saw the heavy irony that USCIS forced him to live apart from his spouse and family, a fact he seemingly didn't like enough to resign from the post...
