Well since all of the MSM news sources have been talking and talking about some Boricua lady and there have been no Fidel news to enrage our Miami friends, they’ve decided that now there is a new red enemy in town who is not Hugo Chavez, and it is none other than the Latino papi Juanes, who has DARED to do a concert in Cuba.
You may remember him from such satirical cartoons as this one:
According to Ninoska Perez, executive of the Council for the Freedom of Cuba, Cubans in their homeland need democracy and solidarity; not a concert that ignores the “oppression” they have been subjected to for 50 years.
Cuban exiles in the United States accuse Colombian rocker Juanes of being an accomplice of the communist Castro regime in their homeland after the rocker announced a concert in Havana.
Several Cuban organizations in the U.S. said it was “immoral” of the artist to ignore the situation of the Cuban people. Some threaten to boycott Juanes when the Colombian comes to Miami.
“Apolitical concerts do not exist. Indolence is the worst of evils, because if you don’t take position against a dictatorship, a criminal regime, you become complicit,” the said Ninoska Perez.
Who says Latinos stand united! Our very favorite Panamanian-turned-white man John McCain has decided to throw Republican caution to the wind and not support Sonia Sotomayor as Boricuan benchmaster extraordinaire even though he’s in a super Latino state and is up for reelection.
But, ”an excellent resume and an inspiring life story are not enough to qualify one for a lifetime of service on the Supreme Court,” McCain said. He cited, as have other Republicans Miguel Estrada, a Hispanic who was nominated by President Bush for the DC Circuit Court but blocked by Democrats. He added that he does “not believe that she [Sotomayor] shares my belief in judicial restraint.” And: “Though she attempted to walk back from her long public record of judicial activism during her confirmation hearings, Judge Sotomayor cannot change her record.”
Basically, he’s like, yeah yeah yeah you’re smart or whatever but you’re not gonna vote like I want you to vote. Hmmm. Let’s wait and see what our useful advocates at our super useful Latino organizations chose to say about it!
And what does Sotomayor have to say about all of this?
And also, will everyone (republican) pleaaaase stop toting around Miguel Estrada as your Republican Golden Brown Boy. Did we not learn a lesson from the Alberto Gonzales book? There’s only one Gonzales we should answer to. Or shouldn’t. Because we’re that stereotyped.
It seems that every time we turn around, another beloved celebrity is passing away. Today, it is with heavy heart that we report yet another celebrity death. Rest in peace Gidget, the Chihuahua who starred in a series of Taco Bell commercials and made famous the phrase “¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!”
Gidget died of a stroke Tuesday at the ripe old age of 15, People Pets reports. She’d lived in comfortable semiretirement since the heyday of the Taco Bell advertising campaign, occasionally making cameo appearances (hawking insurance alongside the GEICO gecko in a 2002 commercial and playing the mother of Reese Witherspoon’s Chihuahua, Bruiser, in the sequel to “Legally Blonde”).

So who will replace this stereotype? I guess we are stuck with Speedy Gonzales…who should not be confused with other infamous Hispanic Alberto Gonzales.
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.
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.
