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.

Taking a break from planting jalapeños in her organic garden, our  Primera Dama is headed solo to México where she will talk to young people about not immigrating to the United States self determination.

According to WaPo:

Obama will be in Mexico City for a total of about 40 hours and is not expected to travel outside the capital. She will speak to young people — from primary-school students to recent college graduates — encouraging them to become active in their communities and take responsibility for their own future.

We can only hope that unlike her husband she doesn´t bring back swine flu.

I also hope that as the trip goes on, I will come up with something clever to say about it.

The White House has released the list of those chosen few who get to sit somewhere near Michelle Obama during the first president of color SOTU ever.

And is customary, there are some people on the list with Hispanic sounding names, an actual one of “Ecuadorean” origins, and of course a Latina mother with no insurance.

So here is the official White House list…

Gabriela Farfan (Madison, WI)

Gabriela is a 19-year old from Madison, Wisconsin whose passion for geology started at a young age – collecting rocks as a seven-year old with her father. In 2009, as a senior in high school, her hard-work and research won her one of the top awards in the Intel Science Talent Search, winning a scholarship for her independent research describing why certain gemstones appear to change color when viewed from different angles—a finding that directly affects the gemstone industry and may have applications in the nano and materials sciences. Gabriela is now in college as a freshman at Stanford University, and a declared geology major.

Gabriela is also a National Hispanic Scholar awardee, has two very proud parents, Abigail Farfan and Carlos Peralta, and has a real dedication to the arts: singing, drawing, painting, speaking French and Spanish, and following operas and musicals.

Cindy Parker-Martinez (Belle Isle, FL)

Cindy is a mother of two young children, who shared her story of the problems her family faces with the current health care system at a Health Care Community Discussion held at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, one of thousands of discussions held nationwide in December 2008.

We usually don’t do breaking news, but we will make a minor exception…

President Barack Obama will name his nominee to replace Supreme Court Justice David Souter at 10:15 am ET on Monday, an adviser told NBC News.

NBC News also reports that Obama intends to nominate federal appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor as the first Hispanic to serve on the Supreme Court.

Once I have some coffee I will be able to come up with something sarcastic to say about all this…
