Here we go again. Latinos, famously asleep at the wheel on an important issue like that Nazi nefarious Arizona immigration bill:

react too late to do anything except complain and express outrage. Yeah, whatever.

So of course, it’s up to the black man to step up to the plate.

Enter the Rev. Al Sharpton, who says he is going to Arizona when that crap law goes into effect and challenge the police to try to arrest anyone to refuses to hand over their papiere.

“We’re going to walk the streets with people who refuse to give identification and force arrest,” he says.

You know, just like the brown groups are doing (NOT!!!). They’re obviously way too busy planning the next gala du jour.

So thank goodness the good Rev has nothing better to do than defend a bunch of brown ingrates.

A different kind of storm swept through Capitol Hill today when Rep. Lincoln Díaz-Balart (R-Fla.) announced he was not going to run for reelection, retiring instead to go make beaucoup bucks as a lawyer in Miami.

We have been scratching our heads trying to remember if there is ANYTHING the Cuban-American legislator has done besides loud, bilingual and constant tirades against Fidel Castro.  Can’t think of anything.

Anyhoo, his severely underserved constituents need not worry about having to change any embroidered napkins, at least not the last names. Little bro Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart, who almost got his a** whipped by a Democrat in the last congressional election, is jumping over to Lincoln’s more Republican-friendly district, to continue his job of non-stop constant tirades against Castro (oh, and a couple of hurricane preparedness pressers) without having to worry about a challenge from someone who actually wants to do something in Congress.

Oh, and get this…why didn’t this Spanish-language network cover this at all?

Hopefully it’s not because the anchor is another Díaz-Balart, baby bro José, because that would be pretty stooopid!!

Back in the day when Spain was allegedly a world-class powerhouse, the natives got jealous of the smartest people amongst them and decided to kick them out, telling the chosen sons and daughters of Abraham to scram.  ‘Course it was not done politely.

Fast forward to today, and again Spain is telling the Jews vayan al diablo.  And this time it happens before they even get there.

Spain is hosting the Solar Decathlon Europe next summer, where teams from 20 universities around the globe participate.

The team from Israel’s Ariel University Center of Samaria in the West Bank had qualified, but the Spanish government recently told the team it was removed from the competition because the university is in “occupied territories.”

Stepping into the hornet’s nest is Florida Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who has quite a number of Jewish constituents (and you thought Cubans only cared about Fidel!).

“It is outrageous that a group of scientists is being barred from participating in an international scientific competition because they are from the West Bank,” she said.

“The decision by the Spanish government to expel the team represents a dangerous assault on the principles of scientific exchange and academic freedom, and contributes to the demonization of the state of Israel.”

The letter to the team from the Spanish government reads, “The fact that your center is actually located in the occupied territories, and being obliged to respect the European Union position in relation to this matter, we are forced to inform you that the continuation of your center in this competition will not be possible.”

Because Spain is the host country, it can decide who participates or not.

So Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen is lobbying the DOE to withdraw its co-sponsorship of the event. Already thousands have signed a petition asking the Obama administration to tell the Spaniards WTF and get the U.S. paws off that gathering.

It promises to get nice and nasty.

Yes mi gente, if it is ok for everyone to talk about what public women wear (pantsuits) it is way OK to talk about Joe Baca being 3 feet tall.

It has been a while since we brought up this important topic, but then we just happened to spot him at Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearing:

AND as la neta has pointed out he is wearing a visitor’s pass! (and the hearing is not even inside the Capitol building, you would think that as a member of Congress…)

He even issued  a press release about it.

Since according to some republican senators, yes we are talking to you Jeff Sessions, all peoples that “are puertorican ancestry” should have the same exact opinion about everything, we decided to bring you this important news from another boricua, because of course we like to take stereotypes to a whole new level.

Puerto Rican Jailed for Stealing Neighbor’s Panties

SAN JUAN – A 29-year-old man in the central Puerto Rican town of Orocovis was jailed for stealing 88 panties valued at $1,000 from a neighbor, police said Wednesday.

Luis Serrano Nogueras was sent to the regional jail in Bayamon after failing to post the $20,000 bond set by a judge.

Serrano  kept his 29-year-old neighbor’s panties in a box at home, Pagan Otero said.

A judge (perhaps José Cabranes?) will determine whether the man should get psychological help, the police spokesman said.

So he may have nothing at all to do with Sotomayor, but since his last name is Serrano, he may be related to NY rep José Serrano’s mustache.
