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.

Duh statement of the day: the gay marriage issue tends to be one that many Latinos will not touch with a ten foot pole (even though we all have a gay tío at least who helped us do our hair for some ridiculous quinceañera).
So although the New York State Senate decided that by legalizing gay marriage they were all going to be forced to screw a bearish gay man/big butch leathermamma lesbian and therefore they could NOT unvirginize their behinds, there were some pretty awesome comments from black senators. Here’s some excerpts from some MSM source…
Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson, a Democrat who represents parts of the Bronx and Westchester County, spoke publicly for the first time about her gay brother, who was shunned by her family and moved to France.
“When I walk through these doors, my Bible stays out,” said Senator Eric Adams, a Brooklyn Democrat who compared the law preventing same-sex marriage with laws that kept blacks and whites from marrying. “I believe there are certain moments here where we can benchmark our lives by the votes we took.”
So where are the Latino senators? And what will they say? Um…make us proud?
State Senator Rubén Díaz Sr. of the Bronx made an impassioned argument against same-sex marriage, describing his continued opposition as reflecting the broad consensus that marriage should be limited to a union between a man and woman. “Not only the evangelicals, not only the Jews, not only the Muslims, not only the Catholics, but also the people oppose it,” he said.
Uh. Ok…never mind. Nothing but bad news today, raza.
Unless you’re a blondie. And there’s no Mexicans in Houston, right? Anybody? Bueler?
They don’t claim to know who’s been naughty or nice, but some Houston charities are asking whether children are in the country legally before giving them toys.
In a year when more families than ever have asked for help, several programs providing Christmas gifts for needy children require at least one member of the household to be a U.S. citizen. Others ask for proof of income or rely on churches and schools to suggest recipients.
Who would be capable of such a thing, you ask?
The Salvation Army and a charity affiliated with the Houston Fire Department are among those that consider immigration status, asking for birth certificates or Social Security cards for the children.
Which means amigos, that for our brown hated-by-Lou-Dobbs friends, Santa just went from this:
To this:
Guess I was always suspect of a fat white guy that gives things out for free. Feliz Navidad, Houston bigots!
While Jesus raised only Lazarus from the dead, hundreds of the dead and dying are resurrected every four years in this country thanks to something called presidential elections.
How else to explain Monday’s reunion of dinosaurs and usual suspects at a forum to talk bla bla bla about the future bla bla bla of Latinos bla bla bla:
Henry Cisneros and Prominent Leaders to Discuss the State of Latinos and What the Obama Administration Must Do
Panelists to release new book: Latinos and the Nation’s Future, a landmark collection of essays by leading Latino figures
WASHINGTON, DC—On January 26, 2009, leading Latino figures will convene at the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C. for a dialogue on the most pressing issues facing Latinos today and how the future of the nation is inextricably linked to the future of the Hispanic community.

Never mind the crappy economy that has some people choosing between mac & cheese and ramen noodles for dinner, while others wonder if they’ll have a roof over their head.
In the Washington la-la land known as Capitol Hill, legislators rang in the new year with an AUTOMATIC pay raise of $4,700 EACH, apparently believing it is simply too rough to live on a six-figure income.
With this little hike, the crack legislators who haven’t done a damn thing to help regular people deal with this current economic mess are now making nearly $170,000 a year. So-called “party leaders” make even more.
Some legislators realize how ridiculous this is and how terrible it looks PR-wise to raise their OWN DAMN SALARIES while their constituents spend most of the day rubbing two nickels together. So they’ve proposed a number of things, including donating their raise to charity.
And where do the Coconutters stand on the whole thing? A total of ZERO have said they’d give up their congressional raise.
