AG: Don’t deport genital mutilation victim
The U.S. attorney general is trying to prevent immigration authorities from sending a Muslim woman to her home country, where she was a victim of female genital mutilation.
In a stinging order overriding federal immigration courts, Mukasey blasted a decision that said a 28-year-old citizen and native of Mali should be expelled “because her genitalia already had been mutilated [so] she had no basis to fear future persecution if returned to her home country.”
Calling the rationale “flawed,” Mukasey sent the case back to the Board of Immigration Appeals with orders to reconsider.
**Holy shit! I never thought I would see the day that someone in the Bush Administration actually use common sense and call Immigration on one of their many screw ups. I am just stunned.

Today was started with a house “inspection”. The owner wants to refinance her mortgage for lower interest rates, so instead of giving the property manager a heads up so she could in turn tell us…..she just schedules it. Which was pretty rude with the short notice. So at 10am we had some guy here with our property manager measuring the rooms. Fun…..not. The property manager is really nice and you could tell she wasn’t happy about the short notice and the inconvenience to both of us. But she is fun to talk to and that helped to past the time.
Purdue won over Central Michigan, in normal nail biting Purdue fashion…yuck. But we won. It was nice to see Florida St lose. =)
I set up my laptop downstairs since I’m tired of being in the office. But didn’t get to work as soon as I should’ve….got the case of the sleepies.
But then I haven’t felt too great since I got up this morning. My sinuses have made me feel icky. And I think I just needed on day of not having to do anything major errand wise, other then a quick bank run. It has also gotten chilly and overcast out so we have been turning on the fireplace, that doesn’t help with motivation. So no tanning or walking today.
My butt hurts from sitting on the dinner room chairs all day, but I think I’m going to stay down here tomorrow, since I’ll be in the office the rest of the week. …I don’t know…we’ll see.
I did finally get about 100 new items added to the online store that I manage. I need to add about 100 or so more tommorrow. I’ve pretty much have been so busy with other work that it has gotten left behind.  Doesn’t help that adding things is tedious work and not the tedious work that I like….like accounting.
I’m going to try and be more activate tomorrow…tanning, walking, laundry and such. Then try and get more things added. I’ll just need to start earlier tomorrow instead of late afternoon.
