  • Sweden: which hand will rock the craddle now?

    I won’t be writing about the Swedish elections. They are too confusing for me to even contemplate the idea of doing so. Mostly because the Swedish system in many ways is akin to the American system, be it Republicans or Democrats the bureaucrats always win. In Sweden it is the welfare state that inevitably wins.…

  • Could

    someone please explain to me why do politicians like to pick on Mexicans? Mexicans are not illegal aliens, well, some might be without documents in the USA, but they sure aren’t the majority in that category. Why can’t they place Chinese, Irish, English, French people with expired visas burning flags instead? Los Republicanos en Winston-Salem,…

  • Good freaking grief

    I’ve been speaking Swedish for the past 4 days due to my job and man, it oozes out of my ears as we speak. Most people who speak a third language will inevitably confirm the follwing: it is tiring to shift gears to a language one isn’t accustomed to speaking on the daily basis. Heck,…

  • frigging stoked

Pues Julio Martinez de yonderlesit.org (de Suecia), Tezzy hasn’t forgotten all his cuates, not only from the barrios del USA, pero también, we especially have you in our hearts and…

  • When Borghesia meant something

    Enjoy. Like always, dame las gracias later ese.

  • Faith based Lectores

    The power of the word never ceases to impress me. Especialmente cuando esas palabras conforman parte del lienzo donde se pinta al ser que supuestamente deberí­a corresponder a la imagen que las palabras muestran. This becomes moreso a truth on the internet where the word adquieres ready made power, so much is taken for granted…

  • The Metrosex in me

    When I go the market I look for fresh produce be it vegetables, fruits or, je! beer. Yet the brits somehow have a weird and twisted meaning to it that just baffles the living daylights out of my Xicano skull. Israel in fresh Lebanon strikes Fresh fighting on Lebanon border Fresh Lebanon bombing kills three…

  • Que vivan los muertos de la guerra

    Listen: Los ABCs ¡Qué vivan los muertos! Sing Along Download the song! Los ABCs: is a five-minute Xicano docu-animation cataloguing the real-life testimony of skeletons who have returned to tell their stories of life and death at war. Do you remember your ABCs? No? Well, you’re in luck. Sing along with this group of animated…

  • Odd in a kind of freakish way

    Pre-destination. I recall this worm in my belly. It used to be that I felt predestined to be a writer and it often permeated a great deal of my everyday life more oft than not in my love affairs. This is quite intrinsic to Americans, specially the WASP kind and by default those they embrace…

  • Lieutenant Ehren Watada

    I haven’t seen much clamoring on the American blogsphere regards Lieutenant Ehren Watada. In fact technorati gives a graphic whereby we can see its reader cause and effect. Some of the big honchos on the net and which tend to attract large crowds to their jangle are also somewhat mysteriosly quiescent on the issue. The…

  • Agonista me?

    Am rather amused at the fact that I can post stuff at the Agonist. It just tickles my belly to no end. Off course, the fear that I might not do as expected haunts me like the Llorona does to every kid with mexican blood world over. Do I expect to be censured? Of course,…

  • Ordinary people like you and me in Israel-Palestine

    Is ra el Nothing but Is-ra-el. Poor israeli citizens. They must have some kind of post traumatic disorder in full swing by now. They never rest. I don’t care how tough they are am telling you, keep it. I’d rather live in México or Sweden any day of the world than in Israel. That God…
