  • Sweden and a comment or two about the upcoming elections

    Believe it or not Sweden is too having an election this year but you wouldn’t notice by the raucus the elections churn out in news pieces such of the likes as whether a politician can make noise at a local shopmall rather than the issues at hand, what issues Julio? Yeah, me and hundreds [of]…

  • Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell R’s backpeddling?

    I was rather amused at the noise the progressive blogs made yesterday. They relished a vid snippet crooks and liars dished out on the net yesterday. Turns out the wingnuts are eating their own. O´leilly not only ridiculed Malkin, a special cucuy for the Xicano gente, he, some argued, made sense on immigration. And lordi…

  • Hot in cool Sweden

    Blimey o’reilly! I actually felt a whiff of hot air run through my scarcely hairy arm yesterday. I know, it’s summer, finally, no, really, I mean finally. I can tell because my skin gets a glow on it and man does it look good. I love the alive look on it. No, am not a…

  • Malkin: the anchor baby that wasn’t but is

    Reading through Crooks and Liars I came across Malkin, a name I have learned to loath ever since the recall days in California. Ever since then she has gained prominence amongst R wingnuts who like to put a little color in their ugly and nasty rethoric when it comes to Mexicans and well, anything that…

Tijuana deserves some of its press. It’s largely considered one…
