  • Mexican elections

    Alright, alright already ese! So I’ve been recycling news yet there are less folk out there concentrating on the mexican elections than there are concentrating on it. Erhm, did that make sense? Either way, these elections matter. Lots. Beyond lots. Way beyond. (ok Julio, we get your drift.) I got the gut feeling that mexicans,…

  • William Lamport

    Pinches Irish, there’s always something to learn outta them … The backgrounds to Mexico’s struggle against Spain for its independence have been argued to have taken root as early as 1650, when an Irishman, William Lamport, attempted to revolt against Spanish rule in Mexico, cause an uprising among the Mexican people, and overwhelm any resistance…

  • Julio Sueco’s daily recommendation

    From our own Richard Rodriguez ( de reciente acá se está haciendo muy relevante el compa que todos antes odiaban; everybody in the past little Xicano hate object seems to be becoming more and more relevant in American discourse, at times, I think, that he is the last real essayist America has, and he’s Chicano…

  • Inglés Xicano

    I can’t help notice the noise that the right wingnuts make regards Aztlán and Chicanos and the whole culture clash enchilada. Specially English. I still have a few problems with English. I grew up never feeling that English was part of me. It was a terrible atmosphere. Every vowel, every consonant got the third degree.…

  • Southwest, norteño Xicano

    Some of the Xicanos in what can, & only can, be deemed as a loose confedaration of goodie-two-shoes Xican@s bloggers who can’t seem to make up their mind about nothing, have sent me an email whereby I get accused of not only being a lousy pocho but a traitor to all semiotic principles to which…

    Dios mio, I didn’t know California was a spanish word either! Could someone tell the Israeli friendly newsoutlet called Reuters, yes, I know, I am on the fringe of being called antisemitic, never mind am only 39 and really have not a shred of anything to do with nazis or any simpathies with a destruccion…

  • Technorati: the Aztlán tag

    Dragging it through the mud for personal gain. I mean what else can be said of those that are insanely obsessesed with the idea that Xicanos are helt bent in returning Aztlán to México. It be suicidal, I have argued, it would be a kamikaze act on part of the Chicano people to return Aztlán…

  • To Michelle Malkin con illegal amor

    Heck, let’s ruffle some feathers over at Michelle no ethics Malkin:Foto originally uploaded by Juan Manuel. Kiss, kiss darling.

  • Cartoons

    My fellow citizen Lalo Alcaráz, je, no, am not being biased but he does seem to subscribes to the same idea I have about xicanos not being immigrants, as pictured here: Here is another one by Sergio Hernández that I think describes the nation’s mood rather well:

  • C-ya esa!

    Must … refrain… from, Garh! I can’t yes! yes! Yes! Michelle Malkin is about to bite the dust. Daily Kos, thou art now forgiven.

  • Febrero 1989

    Recuerdos de un inicio de exilio. Dios, las vergíüenzas por las que uno tiene que pasar. Mis amigos de Redwood City. Urgh, como odiaba esa ciudad, la soledad me abrumaba y no tení­a ‘amigos’.Yo soy el de las gafas. Tení­a dos años ya en aquel pueblo que me robó dos años de mi niñez sólo…
