Adventures of the Coconut Caucus

This trend of “real” journalists copying bloggers is getting out of hand… First it was the L.A. Times, then The WaPo and now the Wall Street Journal jumps on the bandwagon…

You can read the whole article here, but in case you don’t have time, I will post the important part:

Bloggers at Adventures of the Coconut Caucus (who claim to “put the panic in Hispanic”) have come on strong with their bilingual headlines.

Recently, they announced: “European non-girly man in charge of huge basically Mexican (hacienda sin bandera) state expected to endorse Panamanian for Casa Blanca” (Translation: California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Panamanian-born John McCain.)

According to the Coconut Caucus bloggers, the GOP could elect its first Latino candidate, either a Panamanian (Mr. McCain) or Mexican-American Mitt Romney — whose father, former Michigan Gov. George Romney, was born in Mexico.

Yet Mr. Romney doesn’t seem to have enough Latino credentials to wear a Guayabera shirt, as Coconut Caucus and many other blogs blasted him for doing at a Florida campaign event.

OK, mi gente, now we need to find a way to make some money off all our cleverness….

Pandering doesn’t take a holiday on the biggest snack day of the year, with former prez Clinton hoping to snag the big morsel called the Latino vote. (yes, the dozens of Latinos who vote apparently are worth something these days)

As we all know, Richardson López was the first Latino to drop out of the race (Romney and McCain are still in!!!) and he’s making the Dems twist in the wind waiting for that ever-so-influential endorsement, which would bring that stampede of five, maybe six, Latinos to their side.

(Hey, don;t they know New Mexicans HATE HATE HATE to be called Hispanic, or even Latino? They swear they are SPANISH! sure brown people, keep up the delusion! someone has to!)

RED RIVER, N.M. — Former President Bill Clinton will watch the Super Bowl Sunday with Gov. Bill Richardson.

The former president and Richardson plan to watch the game together at a private residence in Red River.
(WTF???? Couldn´t they at least go to the stadium? its not like it will be cold or anything, we know Richardson is broke, but we know Bill can afford 2 tickets…)

Maybe Richardson is hoping the big guy will eat some humble pie and apologize for making him give up a nice gig as U.N. ambassador to come back to D.C. to “get some federal agency experience” and head up one of the most boring departments around (in one of the ugliest buildings in the city) hoping Al Gore would pick him but instead got embroiled in that Wen Ho Lee nonsense. Then again, maybe not!

So today on Super Tuesday (cross out Tuesday) Bowl Sunday there they are, telling everyone they’re just hanging out as friends and that politics has nothing to do with it. Sure, sure, sure.

Every once in a while, we come across a piece of news and we go, “dear God, please not a Latino…” And then at times you read something and you’re like, “please oh please God, this is so funny! Please oh please dear God baby Jesus please let it be a Latino!” And sometimes life gives you a little of column A and a little of column B..

Texas Mayor Resigns Over Shih Tzu

The mayor of a small town in Texas has resigned after secretly keeping her neighbour’s Shih Tzu while pretending it had died.

Neighbours had asked Alice Mayor Grace Saenz-Lopez to look after the dog, Puddles, during a holiday. She called them to say it was dead.

But the dog, which Ms Saenz-Lopez had renamed Panchito, was later seen at a dog groomer’s and at her sister’s home.

God bless Texas. But seriously folks.

The real issue here is what kind of a name is Puddles anyway? Panchito is wayz more better! I mean I bet that dog has way more excitement in his life now that he has adopted his Latino-Texan ambiguous ethnicity.

It’s only a matter of time before he starts salsaing, being pulled over by the dog pound guy for “random searches”, drinking tequila while shouting “Viva Mexico cabrones” and be way, way more into blonde dogs than your average gringo pit bull.
