Sweden and a comment or two about the upcoming elections
Believe it or not Sweden is too having an election this year but you wouldn’t notice by the raucus the elections churn out in news pieces such of the likes as whether a politician can make noise at a local shopmall rather than the issues at hand, what issues Julio? Yeah, me and hundreds [of]…

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…

Puras niñas menores de edad/solamente fueron secuestrando/las llevaban derecho a matar/y después las seguían torturando/las usaban para transportar polvo blanco y demás contrabando … La Mafia de la Frontera – Lorenzo de Monteclaro (1986). Esta nota del periódico Frontera me erizó los vellos del cuerpo. Y es que el mensaje es brutal. A eso se…

El Revés Del Alma: Carla Guelfenbein
Pocos son los libros que termino y más raros son los autores a los que me da por conocer su obra completa (o casi). En ese último ejemplo se encuentran la chilena Isabel Allende, el nipones Yukio Mishima, el inglés de origen nipones Kazuo Ishiguro, y el Xicano Richard Rodriguez por sólo mencionar los que…

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,…

pregunta, dudas, especulaciones y otros menesteres fuera de la realidad y otras tantas dentro
La pregunta es simple y sencilla. En este blog hemos arguido hasta el cansancio que Tijuana es Aztlán también por las las obvias similitudes que existen entre la chicanada de los EEUU y los tijuanenses. La presente narrativa no lo pinta así y los medios de comunicación han insistido hasta el cansancio que los tijuanenses…

Lo que dice la gringada sobre México y sus elecciones
”As Elections Approach, Mexico Faces Internal Instability” Weak governance and deteriorating social conditions have steadily increased political and social instability in Mexico during the past several years. Rather than soothing the country’s rocky political and social environments, the results of Mexico’s upcoming general elections will heighten this instability.

Un . a la digresión, que no al debraye, del post después del post anterior
Desde el alzamiento chiapaneco, el estado mexicano me da risa, y es que una de las demandas centrales del movimiento chiapaneco es la autonomía, un punto en que el gobierno no doblega arguyendo que tal respuesta/solución, fragmentaría al país. Y es que dicen que la lengua refleja a su gente, nuestro idioma, el español mexicano,…
