Nothing representing Latinos
Tonight is Acentos and the cluttered attic that is my brain has been toying with an idea that Rich Villar mentioned last month, a couple of weeks after their show with Louis Reyes Rivera. When I heard they had a disappointing turnout for it – including my stupid hungover ass among the missing! – I
From the Things I never thought I’d say file: 1. I like Rush Limbaugh. Of course, I’m referring to the Rush Limbaugh currently appearing on ESPN’s NFL Countdown and ONLY in that context! His input on the show – “Rush Challenge” – has been refreshing and provocative, forcing the regular commentators to dig a little
You are The Cap’n! Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn’t eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you – but why take an avenue when

On my generation’s equivalent of Pearl Harbor Day, another tragedy weighs equally heavy in my thoughts. It’s been 7 years since Tupac Amaru Shakur’s murder and, sadly, not much seems to have changed. Not in hip-hop, or the world in general, for that matter. We’re no more or less safe today than we were on
Polls, for the most part, can be twisted to say whatever the poller wants, but I’ll take some small glimmer of hope from this one: Bush Rating At 2-Year Low Wed Sep 10,10:24 AM ET By Joseph Guinto And Sean Higgins All three of the Presidential Leadership Index’s components fell in September. -Bush’s presidential favorability
It’s rant time. The whole home ownership aspect of the “American Dream” escapes me. A couple of years ago, four or five months after Isaac was born, the combination of frustration over being unable to find a decent apartment to rent and the lure of owning our own place, led us to look into buying
“Stupid risks make life worth living.” You love adventure. You’re quite spontaneous, and will do anything for a little thrill. You’re certainly not boring.
