Gulf of Mexico to be Renamed Gulf of America

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 13 Comments

Remember the Absolut brouhaha?

Remember the Alamo?

Well, none of those contentious binational wars would ever come close to what’s looming behind a moronic proposition to rename the Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America. The brilliant idea popped into the head of State Rep. Steve Holland of Mississippi, most likely because there’s not a lot to do in  Mississippi, so people have plenty of time to think over important stuff.

I couldn’t make this up… even if I tried.

State Rep. Steve Holland (D) has introduced HB 150, which says that “for all official purposes within the state of Mississippi, the body of water located directly south of Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties shall be known as the ‘Gulf Of America’; and for related purposes.”

So from now on and without further ado, I am going to go choke on my café americano, ahem, café mexicano.

Romney is NOT Mexican, But He Wouldn’t Mind Univision Spreading the Word Out

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ Leave a comment

As everybody knows by now, Univision’s Jorge Ramos this week sat down with both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney to discuss some issues relevant to the Latino voter, for example, when and how are they going to bomb Cuba and kill the Castros.

However, this blogger’s favorite moment came when Romney denied being Mexican-American, but yet asked Ramos to spread the word out, thinking that little “white lie” would get him ahead among the Latino electorate.

You don’t believe me? Just watch!

 

Mitt Romney Cares for Hispanic Voters. Visits Conchita Foods to Prove It

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 2 Comments

Only one thing is more pathetic than a politician campaigning for votes: A Republican politician courting U.S. Hispanic voters.

Watch Romey as he visits South Florida’s Conchita Foods to receive the endorsement of three Cuban-American GOP heavyweights (Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz-Balart and his brother Lincoln Diaz-Balart).

The four amigos might not be in agreement on hot-topic issues like immigration, but I’m sure they all agree Conchita Foods offers some delicious frijoles negros and dry lentejas.

Deeelish!

DNC Launches Spanish-language TV Spot. Could Use Some Spanish-language Copy Editing

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 1 Comment

The Democratic National Committee (NDC) on Friday launched its first Spanish-language TV spot, featuring President Obama and the Democratic Party as the only ones out there who protect the interests of Latino families in the U.S.

So far so good. But while it bluntly attacks the Republicans for slashing Medicare, it also blasts them for supporting the bajadas of the taxes… Bajadas?!!!

This blogger applauds DNC’s efforts and bluntly offers them help with their Spanish copy: Would you guys mind doing a little editing before airing stuff? Digo, yo.

John McCain Wants You to Know Immigrants are not Only Evil, They are Also Arsonists

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 2 Comments

Next time you want to blame God for your misfortunes, you might want to turn to undocumented immigrants instead. After all, that might be more convenient and will eventually make you feel better for not spitting all over God and stuff.

Ask Senator John McCain, of Arizona, who pretty much thinks undocumented immigrants should be blamed for the state’s wildfire crisis.

“We are concerned about, particularly areas down on the border, where there is substantial evidence that some of these fires were caused by people who have crossed our border illegally,” he said over the weekend. You don’t believe me? Just watch!

Why Carstens Might Not be Ideal for IMF Top Job

I always thought that one good thing about having Mexico’s Finance Minister Agustín Carstens replace Dominique Strauss-Kahn as head of the IMF, is that he would spend more time eating than groping chambermaids in hotel rooms.

But upon refreshing my memory with this picture from a recent Mexico visit by the Sarkozys,  I became increasingly anxious at the possibility.

It seems our finance minister has a knack for both, eating and ogling women.

Ay, caramba!

Pro-life Latinos Just as Scary as Pro-life Non-Latinos

If you thought the most dangerous place for a Latino was Arizona or a meatpacking plant in Minnesota, think again. According to Latino organization Unidos por la Vida the most dangerous place for a Latino is, well, in the womb of their evil mamitas.

The not-so-obscure organization has the support of Texas Governor, Rick Perry, and is endorsed by some Latino luminaries, including Emmanuel, Verónica Castro, Karyme Lozano and Leticia Calderón, who are expected to show up at some kind of pay-per-view event June 12 in Los Angeles. Also, according to Fox News Latino, they are planning a media blitzkrieg featuring the billboard above.

Ay, caramba!

Arnie’s Mistress Not Really into Hispanic People

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 3 Comments

With all the talk about the gazillions of dollars The Governator (aka as The Fornicator) will have to pay for his imminent divorce, few people have paid attention on yet a more interesting debate going on behind the scenes of this Hispanic-Austrian-Californian telenovela (Californication?)

Turns out Arnold’s mistress Mildred Baena does not really like Hispanics.

In fact, she apparently goes around telling people that white people are better, and –judging from this undated picture– she thinks Santa Claus rules and the Reyes Magos suck.

Say what you will about Mrs. Baena, but at least she is consistent with her preferences. What better way to show you really, really hate U.S. Hispanics (i.e. yourself) than sleeping with Arnold Schwarzenegger?

That’s one consistent self-hating Latina!

Obama Courts ‘Influential Hispanics,’ Fails to Invite this Blogger to White House Gathering

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 2 Comments

President Barack Obama is smart enough to know that it takes more than eating a burrito and posing next to some Mariachi-clad dude to court U.S. Hispanics. That is why, POTUS this week lured a bunch of “influencial” Hispanics to the White House, including retro-acculturated food-entrepreneur Eva Longoria and radio personality -and former “undocumented Mexican” Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo.

As always, I appreciate the effort, but Mr. Obama should add this blogger to his list next time if he really wants to effect change.

I might not have Longoria’s artistic qualities has, but I have rubbed elbows with the British monarchy.

Here is the official photo of the event. See how many ‘influential Hispanics’ you can recognize.
