Your one-stop shop for all things Latin/Hispanic/Mexican
Poor Tom Corbett; he was asked to talk about the Latino vote and complicated stuff like that… But how on Earth can this poor soul possibly answer all those questions when he needs help from a reporter to even find a Latino? (1:50 in the video.)
Let’s give him a hand shall we? Perhaps he can start here, at the annual Carnaval de Puebla en Filadelfia.
I can spot several, can you?

As it turns out, these tricky islamist radicals are not only becoming experts in ‘acting Hispanic’ and copying our tacos and all. They are now confusing the hell out of mainstream, non-Latino, non-Muslim, non-radical Americans by making believe pitas and tacos are basically the same thing.

And you thought politicians were a bunch of good for nothings…
In the latest development concerning the Mexi-Muslim threat, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is now saying that this week’s bombings of the Boston Marathon should give pause to immigration reform advocates who seek to reform the system. The reason?
“We know that people that are now being trained to come in and act like Hispanic [sic] when they are radical Islamists. […] They want the freedoms we have.”
I’m not sure what those freedoms really are or how you train people to act “Hispanic.” But these fellows have certainly worked hard to replicate our tacos al pastor. And no, we’re not going to take it anymore! What’s next? Serving food on a flat bread instead of a plate? Pitas that taste like tortillas?

Speaking of Cannabis and Cannabis-infused tortilla chips, the folks over at People’s Daily are doing a hell of a job updating their Spanish-language page, which is awesome because they have come up with the most hilarious -and accurate- Spanish translation for “joint.”

You can say anything you want about Enrique Peña Nieto, but the guy is not only bien guapote, but he managed to get himself a telenovela babe to arrive with a real splash. Meet Angélica Rivera (aka La Gaviota) and from now on Mexico’s First Lady. Enjoy while you can. I’m sure this image will not last long in the cyberspace.
One of the best things about being silly, is that you tend to attract similar characters to your life (or, in this case, to your Facebook timeline, which is basically the same.)
Here’s a taste of what my stupid creative Facebook friends shared with me on the historic night that Nov. 6th, 2012 turned out to be.
APOLOGIES TO THE MONOLINGUAL CROWD: You have to be bilingual to appreciate this.
CNN on Sunday Oct. 7 will premiere Latino in America: Courting their vote, a documentary on the Latino outreach efforts by Democrats and Republicans.
The promo features an interview with U.S. Senator Harry Reid, who goes on about how important the Latino vote is for the Democrats in Nevada, and yada-yada-yada. To prove it, the Senator poses among a bunch of sandías, melones and colorful piñatas, including one in the form of a huge Corona bottle at the local Cárdenas supermarket.
How sweet! He reminds me of Mitt and Conchita.
¡Ajúa!
Jorge Ramos this week was in New York City to receive an EMMY award alongside his long-time co-anchor María Elena Salinas. But he also took the time to visit the set of The Colbert Report, where he was hilariously hammered on the topic of immigration, deportation and Mitt Romney’s mexicanness.
Watch Colbert ask Jorge tons of questions (using upside-down question marks, naturally.)
I know most mainstream media outlets would frown upon the very idea of posting the below video to illustrate this story. But… this blogger couldn’t help making a connection between Wilfrido Vargas’ famous anthem and the recent figures showing Latino women political preferences…
According to a poll published today by impreMedia and Latino Decisions…
Ay, Dios mío, pass me the abanico, pronto!

You gotta give it to Republicans for giving us, bloggers, (and Jon Stewart) some truly memorable moments during an otherwise dull (and very white) event.
This blogger’s top 3 Tampa highlights:
Marco Rubio asks for more government; less freedom… by mistake, that is.
Jan Brewer (aka The Wicked Witch of the Southwest) endorses Barack Obama… by mistake, that is.
Then, Clint Eastwood comes onstage and makes a fool of himself –and the Republican ticket– apparently NOT by mistake, by talking to an empty chair.
Oh, the fun!
I know thousands some of you will be obsessively clicking on http://www.Miblogestublog.com looking to get your daily fix of sardonic commentary about the wonderful world of Hispanic media. But you cannot have your pambazo and eat it too. This blogger is tired and needs to regroup and plan a content strategy for the second half of 2012… It won’t be easy. December 2012 will bring us two very important milestones: The End of the World (on December 21nd to be precise) and the inauguration of Enrique Peña Nieto as President of Mexico.
This blogger hasn’t decided yet which of those two events will be the most catastrophic, but I promise to keep you posted.
Bored yet? Read my archives. I promise you’ll have fun, fun, fun.
Jorge Ramos would like you to know that he rejects the use of his impossibly cute face image to support the message of any politician, whether he or she is Republican or Democrat. The video below comes on the heels of Barack Obama’s promotional campaign video using a clip from Noticias Univision with Ramos talking about Latinos and the lack of health insurance.
Watch Ramos in full action defending his journalistic integrity and… sigh away, muchachas. Isn’t he something?
Newt Gingrich is one consistent fellow. Here’s the Latinos with Newt ad his campaign released today. It features lots of Latinos in long lines, and other relevant stuff. Please note that the ad has been done in English, and NOT in the language of the ghetto.
You can say anything you like about Andrés Manuel López Obrador, but at least the guy has it very clear where he’ll end up if he doesn’t win the Mexican presidency this year.
