Sign Petition to Wrest Geronimo Back From Bushes and Yale


LORNA DEE ASKS US TO SIGN AND PASS IT ON. Who am I to argue? Not to mention this really gets under my skin for more than one reason. I'm more than happy to sign. It's the least I would do, given the chance. Really. Because haven't enough bones been...

Español, Uno


I KNOW YOU ONLY STAY WITH ME for my new categories. Oh sure, you come around in-between, but one day I'll be old and tired and won't be able to fit any more categories into your reader. And then you'll be buzzing 'round the new unapologetic mexican in town,...

Advanced Civilizations


"Gypsies of the Thar, sinuous amongst the sand dunes - a fantastically vibrant Gatlif clip" - Tip of the Sombrero to Herm. Thank you for this piece of bliss. HERE ARE SINGERS AND DANCERS to show your children, rather than coochie-flashing, plastic-waving, bleach-blonded, surgery-enhanced, advertisement-bolstered and systematically selected Amurkan Idol-type...

Ask Nezua 1: How Do I Get Rid of The Mexicans?


MY STATS ARE KIND ENOUGH, dear Mexican-info-hungry websurfer, to pass along those questions that you type out—so curiously—in the still of your dim room. And from the cockles of my cockles, I want nothing more than to satisfy your questions. Because answering these nuanced queries and enlightening the knowledge-hungry...

Casa de la Muerte


THERE IS A DARK STORY that the White House is trying to suppress, most of the media is ignoring, and that we are not going to let pass by. It is a true story, a horror story. What is being billed as "The House of Death" is an account...

The Chain of Bruces


SHAOLIN SOCCER (Siu Lam Juk Kau), starring and directed by Stephen Chow is a kick ass movie, combining philosophy, kung-fu, song, comedy, special effects and hilarious acting in a very satisfying blend. One of my personal favorite scenes (there are many) has got to be the love story/dough-rolling kung-fu...

Cocked and Loaded


IF IT IS TRUE MEN ARE SOCIALIZED TO ENJOY AND PROVOKE VIOLENCE, then who taught the men in every nation to create this priority? These men that take up guns for the State? These men that wage war from mahogany bunkers, from offices and suites afar? These men that raise...

Anti-Christianist Soldier (and More)


THIS VIDEO is going around, and I think there's some good points made on JC Christian's post (where I first saw the vid). I think it's a riot. We can see why some people would be upset. But is it really over what the girl is allowed to see and...

Presenting: Officer Schoville and Citizens Step and Fetchit!


DANCE, BOY. And I'll let you be on my TV, drive on my roads, and live in the country that my people stole from the Indians. There's your shorter on-the-spot plea bargain invented by a White cop who pulled over two young Black men, according to MyWay news, reporting on...

Missed, Miss, Mist


TAKING A TIP from amigo Kai's non-textual excursions, I give you a tryptychial glimpse of my foggy walk last night, captured on Motorola's® finest cell phone camera. The best times to walk through this dreaded suburbarural area are late night or early morning. Less doggish-humano interaction. I don't always mind...

Offered for your perusal:


If there's even a 1% chance that Robert Schofield let one terrorist into the country with his crooked gatekeeping...shouldn't we bomb him? Come on! Do I need a bullhorn to make this point?...

Nobody Knows the Trouble George Goes Through.


DANNY DEVITO GETS A BIT LIT and mocks the (illegitimate) "president" of America on television. Fox news leads the retaliation. And why? Because nothing is as disempowering as becoming someone's comic object. And if you see a leader become a laughingstock, you know his power has waned dangerously. Bill O'Reilly...

Bien, Bien


Friday Night. Here's a case of a band who really needs a video director! Je-je. Not to be overly critical but not much happens in the video. I post it because it's a great band, and I've always loved this song for its phrasing tighter than the seams in hell,...

¡Somos la Resistencia!


FOR THOSE WHO CHEERED ON THE STUDENTS at Columbia University when they let the Minutemen know—in no uncertain terms—that their brand of gun-patrolled racism was not welcome in America's learning centers and then later learned of (brave) Karina Garcia (Political Chair of the Chicano Caucus at Columbia University) and...
