  • Emulsión de Scott

    Sé que todos los escuincles entre 10 y 13 me odiaran por esto, por suerte la edad promedia de los que por acá se afocan oscila entre los 20 y 40 pero los abuelos tení­an razón, el aceite de bacalao sí­ hace el paro, en Tijuana, me jefa, para acabarla de molar me hací­a comprarlo…

  • Lincolns thoughts murdered, again.

    Could someone please tell me how did government of the people, by the people, for the people become against the people?

  • Otro de esos

    Para empezar yo soy de los viejos tijuanenses y ya antes habí­a pasado una lista que nos reconocia como tales, aparentemente la nueva plebe, los morros pues, ya sacaron la suya, en algunos todavia me reconozco, pero hay varios donde ya no tengo el mismo bagaje cultural, wachensela: Como Saver Si Eres De Tijuana!! Cómo…

    What I like about Sandra Dionisi’s painting is that it both reflects a snake and a scorpion at the same time in her work. Que viva la reconquista!

  • Requiered reading ese

    “La Malinche.” Slave, interpreter, secretary, mistress, mother of the first “Mexican.” her very name still stirs up controversy. Associate Professor of History R. Douglas Cope teaches Mexican and colonial Latin American history. He is the author of The Limits of Racial Domination: Plebeian Society in Colonial Mexico City, 1660–1720. *please notice the 666 on the…

  • Serve chilly and cold on a plate ese!

    It is not for me to glee at the desgracias de otros pero this motherfucker left una puta espina clavada long time ago. And I for one, (Me persino and all that crap) am glad this motherfucker is going down. He made a career out of spite for illegal immigration making us tijuanenses and imigrantes…

  • Mi lengua, mi nación

    For too long I was embarrased of my Xicano accent. Frankly. I cringed into a hell of angst and embarrassment whenever my i’s* faltered and betrayed an otherness that was far from the american ideal. Here in Europe I can retrace and notice this patttern of linguistic perfection sought out by english monolinguals in proper…

  • Soy gabacho, y qué?

    It cracks me up. One of the things that I fight and strive for in this blog is to defend our nativeness. For far too long have been led to believe that we are immigrants, illegals, and other nonnative beings that one easily bypasses the fact that we are Americans inasmuch as George Washington was…

  • Ya era hora …

    MAPISTAS & the GREENPARTY ( El Partido Verde) want nuestra Gente to know that the forced shipping out of nuestra gente, back to Mexico, in 1929-1944 , under “The Mexican Repatriation Program,” that saw 400,000 American citizens of Mexican descent illegally sent off to Mexico, has been repudiated by an overwhelming vote in the California…

  • Los cristianos esos …

    Not lon ago yet in eon years blogwise, Elena my buddy, pal, amiga, compa, friend and all that wondered about Spreading God’s Love. I even added my two centavos to the issue. Today I find two of my favorite blogs in that isue wondering about the issues that so gives so much food for thought.…

  • El Gíüero taquero de la quinta el Malecón

    De las tragedias más inusuales en Tijuana se encuentra la del Gíüero el taquero de la quinta el Malecón. Hoy por hoy el vato se mira apacible, pero no lo hagas enojar por que se destrompa, su cerebro acabado por el cristal, la coca, las trasnocheadas, las locuras de tres a cuatro semanas dependiendo del…

  • silence

    Es desconcertante ver el estado de la blogesfera en México, no pasa de tea parties o pachangitas. Lo que demuestra que aquellos interesados en promover una cultura de polí­tica para servir de contrapeso es nula. Nuestra sociedad es una donde el hueso que papá o mamá roe sera heredado al hijo u hija. Por eso…
