ABRA CADABRA, PATA DE CABRA…, que yo no se nada!..., ni de la misa el “amen”
…, y no exagero!.

… No solo es Dios!..., sino Dios y su gente,
a cual más mago, prestijitador o embustero!.

… La vieja, rancia y noble clase de “Abolengo”,
dueños y amos eternos y absolutos del Mundo
y que son como los excelsos y maduros caldos de coñag, champagne o vino a $50.oo0 la botella

…, (solo para muy selectas ocasiones)
…, y que permanecen más ocultos
que “un Sol a la media noche”.

… Ellos nos hacen creer que somos iguales,
libres y soberanos…, y bajo cuerda nos tienen
más anclados que una boya para porta-aviones.

… Y ahora resulta (o nos vienen con el cuento)
de que “Obama” es el numero uno y más o menos
el Rey del Mundo!.

… Pues será cuestión de conseguir un palco
(en gallinero) y seguir viendo el increíble espectáculo
o “el Circo más Grande del Mundo”.
… Oh sueños imposibles (de opio) del pueblo…, ¿Cuándo vais a tomar conciencia?
Alfonso Játiva Gómez

Ms. Sanchez is brilliant. I loved reading her stories and poems in Essence in the 80s.

I totally skipped that one!! Oh that's a gorgeous dress! First Lady Obama is such a trendsetter. I love the all the top designers are clamoring to style her. I can't wait to see the girl's dresses.

Actually mutts and mongrels like me often identify pretty strongly as such & are proud of our mixedness no matter what's in it. We think Barack's one of us & love him for his self-identification as a mutt and his pride at his "blood relatives of every race and hue on three continents". And there's more & more of us all the time (my Black Jamaican/White English/Burmese niece just married a Latino) so watch out, we're taking over!

lol, has Alberto found a job yet? Last I heard, even his own beloved Republicans are snubbing him.

Webb — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:21:47 -0000

Thanks for the link. I had not read/seen the article either. I'm making a prognostication on the basis of how the cabinet appointments are playing out in November and the political calculus of why Obama might not feel so pressured to stack-the-cab with latinos when he is planning on giving a latino the ultimate appointment.

Thanks for the link!

My sincere apologies for the name calling, emotion at times prevails above tact. You are not a dickhead, seemingly quite educated actually. However, I do believe that your education on current topics is media-based, not history-based, and the one thing we learn from history - is that we do not learn from history. D, you seem rather patriotic, but if you carefully analyzed unbiased american history, you would realize that the highest form of patriotism for americans today is dissent. The knots of war are tied - and your war-machine cogs will never stop turning no matter who the overseer. I indeed hate your government and loathe american apathy, as we Australians are on the brink of civil disobedience due to our governments undying alliance with your sadist regime - our own military becoming a controlled arm of yours. Again, I apologize for the pig-headed response.

Oh thank you! I just figured I was SOL. I spent days driving around looking for these issues. I even checked their websites early on to see if they were offering online purchases like alot of the newspapers were doing.

Thanks!!

I couldn't agree with you more CPL. The BlackBerry stays! I'm sure they can figure out a way to protect it just like they protect other sensitive info.

No U.S. president going forward in my opinion should be without a PDA. He/she should always be tech savvy and in the loop as much as possible.

My curmudgeon ex-Marine older brother who lives in Oregon has a son whose mother is white. Anyway, my nephew says that whenever he has to fill out one of those forms with race on it, he always chooses black AND white, never bi- or multi-racial.
