Arizona National Guard Overrun At Border By Mexican “Gunmen”, Forced To Retreat
The U.S. Border was breached Wednesday night along Arizona’s border with Mexico prompting local residents to flee for their lives.
An Entry Identification Team site was also overrun Wednesday night along Arizona’s border with Mexico.
Original “Mexican Gunmen” Post
According to the (most likely satirical article at The 800lb Gorilla) these Famous Quotes were uttered related to the Incident:
“We Got Wetbacks In The Wire!”
– National Guardsman Sergeant 1st Class Butch Malone
“They were everywhere, man! “We were just minding our own business, playing hearts, and all of a sudden – BOOM! – all hell broke loose. We never even had a chance.”
– Private 1st Class Anthony Davis
An actual news article from a slightly less reliable source appears here:
Gunmen force Guard troops to flee post near border
According to that article the incident occurred in the west desert corridor between Nogales and Lukeville in the vicinity of Sasabe and these famous quotes were reported in that version of the incident.
“We don’t know exactly how many because obviously it took place in the dark.” “Nobody was able to get an accurate count.”
– National Guard Sgt. Edward Balaban
“We don’t know if this was a matter of somebody coming up accidentally on the individuals, coming up intentionally on the individuals, or some sort of a diversion,”
– Rob Daniels – spokesman for the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector.
The reliability of the second source is somewhat suspect, considering the quality of political coverage normally found there.
Several of these quotes are probably fraudulent or misquotations but we will say no more about that without further investigation.
Perhaps a congressional committee can be appointed?

Unlucky Weather in Phoenix Arizona
The State of Arizona comprises the extreme south-western portion of the United States. It is bounded on the north by Utah, on the east by New Mexico, on the south by Mexico, and on the west by California and Nevada. A woman had been living in Phoenix Arizona for 13 months. While talking to a friend of hers back east, she spent a considerable amount of time boasting about how wonderful it is to live there.
“The scenery is beautiful, everyone is so friendly, and the weather is gorgeous,” she noted.
That fall, her friend came to Phoenix AZ to visit for a week. The first day she was there, it rained. The woman was so disappointed, especially after claiming how wonderfully sunny it always was.
“I can’t believe it’s raining. It almost never rains,” she whined.
In an attempt to console her, her friend replies, “But it’s a dry rain.”
