Poor Not Feeling Freddy

While Democratic candidate for NYC mayor Freddy Ferrer may be talking up the reality that there are two New Yorks but according to an article in the Village Voice today, those more negatively impacted by that fact aren’t buying what Freddy is selling (and I’m not talking thongs).
NYC youth are hearing his speeches as similar in tone to the lecture they hear from their parents about what they went through “back in the day”. The poor feel that Freddy isn’t tackling their day to day problems including welfare.
With less than a week till Election Day, Freddy doesn’t have much more time to get the poor and city students to hear him on what really matters most to them.

A novel idea: Latin Grammys in Spanish

This year, the Latin Grammy people are trying something new. The awards show honoring the best in Latin music (for the most part in Spanish) have decided to…broadcast in Spanish!
Attributing low ratings in past years to the fact that the awards were directed towards English speakers, they’re officially switching the format to all español for this Thursday’s broadcast. No longer on mainstream network CBS, the awards are moving over to Spanish-language Univision. God, these people are smart.
Hola!
