  • 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…

  • 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…

  • a mentality far from mature

    Music: Genesis, Illegal alien So the mentally spic and spac clean hygiene WASP government in DC insists on putting a wall across the border. One would not expect less. I wrote a minifix on the wall a couple years back. The wall wasn’t going to go nowhere, really, it was too good an idea and…

  • coverage of the boycott in the mexican blogsphere

    Dang, people were desperate for news or commentary on the boycott that even I made it not only to technorati but another place as well. My rants tend to give odd kinds of results. Suffice to say I’ll let it stand. Interpretations are weird and it is pretty much useless to combat notions arised out…

  • So not Kimberly-Clark anymore

    So not Kimberly-Clark anymore Blogger is not being nice. I got two accounts there and I can’t post what I am doing on the net regards the boycott. So be it. Watching the news reel from the spanish blogsphere. These are the following links: Juan Manuel, Olganza, El gran boycott en marcha, Alt1040, Regioblogs. Pop…

  • Richard Rodriguez hits the nail on the head

    Richard Rodriguez: By and large what we have seen is a refusal of the official left or the right to speak well of illegal immigrants. I think what that has done is allowed American nativism — and I use that word advisedly — allowed American nativism to participate in a drama that we have seen…

  • I leg all

    Photo: REUTERS/Lucas Jackson I have always argued that mexicans in the USA, specially the Southwest, shouldn’t feel ashamed of their ethnic background. They should assert their americanness no matter what. They should assert that spanish has a history in the Southwest. That we are an essencial component of California. For far too long have we…

  • diferencia

    Well ex-Q’s-me. Off course there is a difference and off course it’s divisive. And that fact that Real Americana star spangled Chicanos don’t wanna take issue with the question at hand shows that it has been decided for us Tijuana Xicanos, citizenship, apparently, doth seems to matter. Oh, like you didn’t know Lalo Alcaraz was…

  • L’differance

    I haven’t checked the state of the xicano blogsphere and I frankly don’t have the ganas. The fact of the matter is that we are different. I have mexican values ingrained in me like a tattoo in my nalgas. Though I harbour gringo values in my xicano DNA the fact that am not an american…

    My fellow citizens in Tijuana are a wad unawares of world affairs. This tends to irk me like a rash on my thighs. WTF? It totally escapes them that having one of the most powerful naval fleets in the world next to them is, least to say, important. The security apparatus must be mind staggering.…
