The head of the United Farm Workers, a very benign fellow, was on Colbert last week. They have a program called "Take Our Jobs" aimed at those who claim illegal immigrants (who do the majority of the crop and farm labor in areas like the Salinas and San Joaquin Valleys and Arizona) are taking American jobs. They offer an open invitation to Americans to come and work in the fields doing the jobs that illegal immigrants do. This should produce a lot of action, ione would think, considering the national unemployment statistics.

So far they have had THREE (count 'em--3!) takers.

Colbert was buffaloed into agreeing to try it, too! His first question: "Is there air conditioning?"
