  • Chantaje

    Del Burgues: El problema de México no es de democracia sino de amnesia. “Luego de 250 dí­as de campaña, los resultados oficiales daban la victoria a Ramón Aguirre con 53% de los votos, el PAN y yo marchábamos en el segundo lugar con 35% de los sufragios. Eran tan evidentes las señales de que en…

  • globalofóbicos

    Uno de los beneficios de la globalización, quizá. Mientrás Israel bombardea el Lí­bano, Carlos Slim, how’s your soul? México, Suecia, EEUU, Dinamarca, Canadá, Francia y otro centenar de paí­ses del mundo se apresuran a evacuar a sus ciudadanos de ese paí­s. Israel bombardea al mundo, por lo visto. ¿Y los libaneses? Bien, gracias. Me pregunto…

  • Odd in a kind of freakish way

    Pre-destination. I recall this worm in my belly. It used to be that I felt predestined to be a writer and it often permeated a great deal of my everyday life more oft than not in my love affairs. This is quite intrinsic to Americans, specially the WASP kind and by default those they embrace…

  • change

    La polí­tica consume el espí­ritu. Es por eso que procuraré no escribir demasiado al respecto. Siento que me roba demasiado de mi, no energí­as sino ideas y para mi, según mi signo zodiacal, es lo primordial. Otras partes de mi se tornan celosas y hay demasiado que escribir. ¿Qué hago por estos dí­as? Me doy…

  • Lieutenant Ehren Watada

    I haven’t seen much clamoring on the American blogsphere regards Lieutenant Ehren Watada. In fact technorati gives a graphic whereby we can see its reader cause and effect. Some of the big honchos on the net and which tend to attract large crowds to their jangle are also somewhat mysteriosly quiescent on the issue. The…

  • 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…
