Adventures of the Coconut Caucus

Yes, it is blogworthy when we hear a Latino use a word like obfuscating correctly…. even if he did first become Senator after a guy resigned because he was gay and appointed his lover head of homeland security of New Jersey…

He also used the word “filibuster” so bonus…

(and btw, why is he trying to talk like Kennedy?)

Ok, so I did say a few minutes ago that I was too scared to update this blog and I also have gut feeling that Chertoff will attack us at anytime…. however… I will make a non-binding exception to denounce this injustice….

False braids cost beauty queen her title

LA PAZ (Reuters) - The winner of a Bolivian beauty contest for indigenous women was stripped of her title moments after her coronation when judges noticed she was wearing false plaits, organizers said.

The Miss Cholita Pacena pageant, held in the Andean city of La Paz late Friday, seeks to instill pride in indigenous women who choose to wear the traditional dress of wide skirt, bowler hat and long plaited hair.

The judges “disqualified the winner because they realized she didn’t have plaits, that the plaits she had were false,” he told Reuters. “Having short hair means they don’t live like Cholitas.”

Not a bikini in sight, the toughest test for the 14 contestants was making a speech in the native Aymara language to prove their Cholita credentials.

They didn´t mention that the winner gets a dinner-date with Presidente Evo Morales…

Sorry mi gente, I am too scared to update this blog…
