  • 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…

  • ¿1810, 1910, 2010? Not so sayeth I

    ¿Quién no ha visto las fechas 1810, 1910, 2010 como una sucesión de lo inevitable? I don’t think am the only one. Francamente no creo en ese agíüero urbano por el simple hecho de que rehuso ser calificado como conservador, aceptar el destino que en ello está implí­cito, serí­a tomar el rol que mi estimado…

  • de agentes secretos

    RIP Agent 007s unlikely alter ego – Sir Peter Smithers He was a secret agent, diploment and scholar, but few knew of Sir Peter Smithers’ most exotice role: the likely model for Ian Fleming’s James Bond – reports The Canberra Times. […] He kept in his bathroom a photograph of the Imperial Navy’s Yamato. (Ever…

  • patriarchism strikes again

    Reading this sent revulsions of all sorts down my spine. The most famous record of slave life, Frederick Douglass’s “Narrative,” rendered vividly the vile mix of lust and domination practiced by slave owners. This is a bunch of poo in the loo in my eyes. The most famous is by far Incidents in the Life…

  • un thought electoral causado por multiples lecturas y un comentario a la raza de Tj

    Seamos francos, el paí­s está más dividido que un diva transvesti. Los medios, ¡o que convenencieros! 1 De manera por demás tramposa, el extraño humor inductivo del programa de Televisa culminó negando un derecho fundamental que forma parte de la democracia mexicana y que, por supuesto, está en la propia Constitución mexicana. Especí­ficamente, en el…

  • Mexican elections 2006

    Well, let’s git to the knilly willy of the ninny lilly. Elections in México, el suspenso is killing me. I wrote in my spanish blog that Calderón was already a winner, ooops, it’s a cultural thing would say this guy who contradicted the IFE’s version of the early poll results arguing that the northern states…

  • short tale of long trip

    I was away. I went to Germany, enjoyed Bavaria; passed by Austria, saw Innsbruck by the roadway and spent quite a few days in northen Italy, specifically in the in and around the Brenner Pass. I came quite close to Milano but never got there. Though I did get to see some of Bergamo and…

    Bueno, después de escribir lo último mejor me dediqué a hacer un video y subir fotos de mi viaje en trailer. Ahí­ les encargo mi diente chueco y mi cara chonchita, sean benevolos al transformar my face en photoshop, ja! Video: Fotos: Alemania. Technorati Tags: Alemania, Austria, Italia

  • elecciones: Mexico 2006

    Porfirio Dí­az en una entrevista de 1908 realizada y publicada por la revista estadounidense Pearson´s Magazine, el redactor James Creelman, tomó la declaración del dictador, cuya semántica, mejor dicho, su discurso ambiguo de todo polí­tico se entendió esta frase: “el pueblo de México no esta preparado para la democracia”. Por lo menos podemos decir, con…

  • No postin
