Mexican crap beer key in Belgian takeover of gringo crap beer

Yes, you thought it was Belgium that was trying to steal the all American so-called beer Bud Light, but guess what? As usual there is a Latino angle, and not just the wife of Panamanian John McCain… Turns out they still have to consult makers of super crappy so-called beer Corona.

U.S. brewer Anheuser-Busch Cos Inc agreed to a $50 billion takeover by Belgium-based InBev NV , a source familiar with the situation said Sunday, creating the world’s largest beer maker.

Adding another dimension to any deal was Mexico’s No. 1 brewer Grupo Modelo , which is 50 percent owned by Anheuser. The maker of Corona beer, which has the right to choose its partner, has not yet approved InBev for that role and the two brewers remain in talks, according to one person
familiar with the situation. Modelo declined to comment.

(and BTW we just had a “surprise” resignation)

And it is not just a Mexican thing:

Mariachi politics: LITERALLY

There is pandering, we have seen that for a whole week now, with Obama and McCain showing up at the conventions of Latino organizations that don’t do anything other than conventions, and a gala here and there so they can give awards to people such as Alberto GONEzales.

AND then there is Mariachi politics, specifically Jalisco no te rajes, mariachi politics, by way of Senator Ted Kennedy…

Black on Black violence, Jesse Jackson style

For those who say that Latinos and are sooo not alike, the whole Jesse goes nuts for Obama, just comes to prove that we are all the same. Turns out that just as Latinos fight each other to make sure know one gets ahead… so do Blacks. (of course minus the being on TV part, because the only Latino ever on FoxNews is Geraldo).

AND the advantage is that there are more people satirizing them, so we can just copy other stuff we find on the interwebs…. like this

Latina Joins Anti-Semitic Wack Job as Third-Party Candidate

Have you ever been so bored out of your mind that you’ve actually had time to wonder whatever happened to former congresista and racebaiter Cynthia McKinney? The Georgia Democrat, who once blamed an electoral defeat on “those Jews,” peddled a ridiculous 9-11 conspiracy theory, and calls Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe a friend, is back in the game. The really wacky game of politics.

And guess what? A Latina is joining her.
From our dear friends at Reuters, this gem: “The U.S. Green Party, which captured far less than 1 percent of the vote in the last presidential election, chose former Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney as its 2008 presidential candidate Saturday. McKinney, 53, will be joined on the ticket for the November election by vice presidential candidate Rosa Clemente, hip-hop artist and activist.”
(no relation to Puerto Rican baseball great Roberto Clemente or Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco, in case you were wondering).

“McKinney received 313 out of 532 votes cast at the party’s nominating convention in Chicago. McKinney served six terms in Congress and lost her 2006 bid for re-election.”
(those Judases in her district did her in! The outrage!)
“She was the first black woman to represent Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
(and so many residents lived to regret it)
Green parties are the first parties to recognize that our role in the world is stewardship of Earth’s natural resources rather than domination and unrestrained consumption of the goods of the Earth,’ the party said in its proposed platform for the 2008 election.”

So of course, since McKinney will blame pollution on the Jews, they’ll leave the beaners alone for a while…
La Bloguera adds:
Just shows how we love to be VP (Nader-Gonzalez) to losing candidates…. now if Obama would only choose Richardson López, we could have a VP debate in Spanglish
