I was tired of playing guessing games with Blogger. Therefore, I have decided to pack my bags and say adios to Blogger. I have moved on and looking forward to a new journey over at my to my new place over at xicanopwr.com.

I find it hard to consider the Texas election went smoothly for the Republicans. They continue to slime their way to "victory" through fraud and strident propaganda, as they did after election since the 1980s. The only way to stop it is to face it, and then shout so long and loud until the people finally perceive that their suspicions are perfectly just - and ultimately say BASTA!Ever since Bush

There is a lot to be excited about yesterday’s election. The country has spoken and they said enough is enough and handed the Democrats a victory. The Democrats have won 228 seats leaving the Republicans 196. This now means Rep Nancy Pelosi of CA will become the new Speaker of the House, not only will it be Dudya worst nightmare, but she will now be the first woman to lead the chamber, which also

I would have done this a lot sooner, however, Blogger has become more of a thorn on my side this past week, since Blogger had a significant number of unplanned outages.

Here in Texas, Lt Gov is the office you if you want to run Texas Gov, even though on the books it considered the second-highest office in Texas. It is considered the most powerful post because the Lt Gov controls the work of the Texas Senate and controls the budgeting process as a leader of the Legislative Budget Board. The Lt Gov is elected separately from the Gov, rather than on the same ticket

Elections are just around the corner here in Texas. I figure I will give my endorsement two cents worth this year and see how it goes. Ever since the defeat of Ann Richards in 1994 and the overwhelming dominance of the Republican Party in TX politics over the last several years, everything has gone down hill. The truth is, Texas government really does need a change. This is not say that the

In a recent Washington Post article, the Post reported on a study conducted by Vanderbilt economist Joni Hersch where she found a correlation between skin color and income earnings among immigrants. Hersch found that Hispanic, Asian, and white immigrants with darker skin color earned less money than their fair-skinned counterparts. Immigrants with the lightest complexions earned, on average,

The quandary in this country, classism has become sort of a no-no in America to speak about because there is a myth that this country is assumed to be classless. We are constantly bombarded with the notion that this is the "land of opportunity." And if you didn't "make it" it was your fault for not taking advantage of all the tools that are there for the taking. We are reminded of this everyday,

I am starting to notice that I am attracting more unwarranted comments of the bigoted kind. I really don't mind criticisms, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, especially if your purpose is to engage in intelligent conversation. But when a few dipshit racist/white supremacists decide to venture out of their roach motels toting their predictable rhetoric over here, well, enough is enough.

It is funny how the GOP loves to use Martin Luther King Jr's "color-blindness" line from the 1963 March on Washington when it comes to race issues. In fact, the Party recently has been actively recruiting minorities just to show how serious their efforts are to end racism. However, it is not hard to see how white supremacist groups have learned to play the system.Oh sure they are quick to

It looks like things are still not looking good in Oaxaca. It looked like the APPO, teachers and government were about to reach an agreement to allow the police to enter, until the police and roving band of strikers wearing hoods and carrying clubs and rocks started shooting at members of APPO and some university students.According to La Jornada, gunfire erupted as a band of roving strikers -

A growing sentiment among the Rethugs for the undocumented immigrants is becoming more evident as November is just right around the corner.

I recently completed posting a story at VivirLatino that really is not receiving that much attention, which it really should. The on going immigration debate will continue to be a hot button issue. Sad thing is, it appears, Congress is unlikely to enact immigration legislation before November. In other words it is a non-issue.However, in Colorado, things are heating up between Republican

It seems we can't do anything right. The Loudoun public schools have decided that we are having a bad influence on the gringos because of our bad Spanish.

The day has finally arrived. Should we look at today as only being June 6, 2006, or is it really 6-6-6; which happens to be the mark of the beast that is mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the Christian New Testament, Revelation 13:16-18.
