First it was talk of Boston Brahmin/presidential loser John Kerry on the short list for Secretary of State in an Obama administration, along with a slew of other white guys, when the entire world knows the most qualified person for that position is a Mexican American.

Probably the only beaner who speaks three languages coherently, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson can hang out with lunatics in North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba and gawd knows how many other places high and low.

And on top of that, he was a presidential candidate. Didn’t get far but his commercials were hilarious. And he gives good interview.

Who cares about the Free Trade Agreement with Colombia, when you can WIN THE LOTTERY????

Yes, in one of my favorite countries, Obama gives hope to millions who will end up loosing their money.

BOGOTA (Reuters) - U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama might be betting he can win November’s election, but he could really hit the jackpot in Colombia.

A Colombian lottery seller has printed Obama’s face on tickets hoping to snag attention while celebrating Afro-Colombians with a nod to the Democrat’s African heritage.

Less than two weeks before the election, street vendors and stores in steamy Meta province are selling the lottery stubs showing Obama smiling in a suit and tie. The average weekly top prize for the tickets — around $300,000 (that’s in pesos, my friends).

Forget the market crashing more and more every day! The clear sign of the apocalypse is more and more carne asada and mango street vendors popping up!

And for those of you that want more ties, the Latino politics angle here is that Bill Richardson said some stuff on NPR about how Latinos matter (ha!) in this election/ in New Mexico, which shares the first half of its name with New York, which brings us to…

How Mexican brown can do way more for you, you white hipster! Because, you know, it’s way nicer to enjoy street tacos at 2 AM than it is to pay attention to the mariachis on the subway or the parking attendant.

Top 10 signs of the New York taco-over

Big Apple rings suddenly passé. How about Big Enchilada?

The spectacular rise of New York’s Mexican community in the past two decades is one of the most fascinating demographic stories in a city used to sweeping population changes.

From an official census count of about 61,000 Mexican-born city residents in 1990, city demographers estimate that there are currently about 350,000 New Yorkers of Mexican descent.

Mexican mothers had more city-born babies last year than Dominicans, which had been, up to now, the largest immigrant group in New York. The city has been transformed, one tortilla at a time.

So basically there’s more Mexican babies now. And of course, here’s their biggest contribution (aka non-threatening stuff white people like about Mexico):

Thanks to the MSM who can only recognize Hispanics if they are involved in some kind of immigration story, Nicaraguan Ana Navarro, co-chair of a Hispanic advisory council of some sort, has been transformed into a White Woman…. (the American Dream of soooo many Hispanics)

Poll shows big shift to McCain among white women

Reuters - Republican presidential candidate John McCain has gained huge support among white women since naming Sarah Palin as his running mate and now leads Democrat Barack Obama among those voters, according to a survey published on Tuesday.

On the same day the Obama campaign released the official list of recycled Hispanic politicians who helped Kerry lose, we received another nice email about the appointed and selected groupies who get backstage access and a private meeting with The Candidate.

We of course were excited because it promised…

The ten voters selected for backstage access for Obama’s speech next Thursday represent the diversity of Obama supporters and come from all across the country.

But then we saw the list…. and we are very outraged, to see that no token Hispanics will get to have some Si Se Puede time with Barack.
