THIS DAILY SHOW VIDEO about the Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates focuses on just how angry the Latino-centric panderosity must be making Lou Dobbs. You know I had to feature this one. And it’s a funny vid, but totally worth it for the Lou Dobbs animation and sound effects alone.
MEXICO IS ALWAYS UNEARTHING A NEW SECRET whether it is buried gods or buried ruins. That is because of how very old she is. She has many stories to tell. This time it is buried soldiers, ghosts from the USA’s invasion into México in the mid-1800s, still whispering today.
I’VE LOVED THE DAWN FOR YEARS because I like being alone with the planet when the sun rises. I like beginning before the street does, before the noise does, before the thoughts in my mind cramp and clutter in clusters and shooting diagonals and bubbling up antagonals, before the exhaust fills the air and my lungs and dulls the day into evening.
PLEASE ALLOW ME…TO INTRODUCE MY POLL. It’s a page

This will only take 30 seconds but it will sting for a full decade.
YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT MEMBERS OF THE SANCTUARY compiled a 38 point questionnaire on specific immigration questions and sent them to three presidential candidates with a deadline of the end of this month, June 2008.
I KNOW YOU DIDN’T EXPECT TO TALK ABOUT THIS on a Wednesday evening, but let’s consider the anus. Oh, it doesn’t have to be yours. I know. You’re like…an Elf. You don’t have one. Anyway, I ask this not for myself, and God knows it’s not for the children, but it’s for “Kelly” who commented [...]
ON JULY FIFTEEN OF 2008, Rhode Island Republican Governor Donald L. Carcieri signed an executive “Illegal Immigration Control Order” into law. It begins with some storytelling.
WHEREAS, most Rhode Islanders and most Americans are descendants of immigrants from all regions of the world—
AS PROMISED YESTERDAY, here is The Sanctuary’s very own Kety E., on CNN, speaking of The Sanctuary’s (as of yet unanswered) Presidential Candidate’s 38 Question Survey and some of la comunidad’s concerns. Meanwhile, John McCain and Barack Obama continue to make speeches and reassure Latin@s how important we are in the election, that we “carry it [...]
I MENTIONED RECENTLY our little group dedicated to bringing human rights, dignity, fairness, and kindness (as well as public attention) to the migrant workers being persecuted and exploited these days by the absence of sane immigration laws and the growth of the prison-for-profit system. It’s called The Sanctuary, and it’s a budding community (so please [...]
OH HELL. So much for my grand opening. The comments are wigging out. Wherever you make one, whenever you make one, it whisks you away to a secret page you shouldn’t even really be finding. And your comment does not attach to the post on which ya made it. What fun. How I love blogs [...]
I AM NOW WRITING THE FIRST ENTRY in the New Improved Unapologetic Mexican Blog. I’m writing it knowing it will not be seen for another week or so. I’m writing it on the Fourth of July. I’m writing it looking at WordPress Backend Powder Blue. I’m writing it listening to Tracy Chapman telling me not [...]
WE ALL KNOW THAT there is a proper format for each type of critical essay or review. And I am happy to review Bajofondo’s latest album, and happy to have been asked to do so. But I won’t be hitting that expected “music critic” format, because, as the person who wrote me put it, “we [...]
SINCE I KNOW THAT THE TALK SHOWS WILL BE ALIGHT with speculation, let me set the record straight right away. I have resigned from the MTV Street Team, for which I worked, representing the state of Oregon as the statewide Citizen Journalist Street Team member. And I’ve written this post a few times, trying to [...]
AND NOW IT’S ONLY FAIR to revisit the phenomenon (because I’ve long felt he is one) of Barack Obama and how I feel about his run. Now, I hardly think it matters in a larger sense. If Bill Richardson is not going to affect people’s feeling or voting too much with his endorsement, what the [...]
FIRSTLY, I HAVE TO ADMIT RIGHT UP FRONT that I wonder if this will work at all, this new style of posting. But I’m going to give it a try. Let’s see how you and I feel about it once it’s been in place for a couple weeks. [UPDATE: I didn't have to wait even [...]
