Chupacabra Caught in Texas
6 Sep 2007
A little over a year ago I told readers about a report claiming that the Chupacabra, had been caught and killed in Maine. Well like all good Latinos, he either has lots of relatives or he lived to see another day, until he got to Texas a few days ago. While it hasn’t been confirmed that the smelly creature found near Cuero is Chupi, Texas State officials are doing DNA testing.
Phylis Canion found the corpse of a strange looking critter on her property in late July. Claiming that the animal killed numerous cats in the area and sucked the blood from her chickens for a number of years, Canion collected the blue-colored road kill off Hwy.183. Upon closer inspection, she couldn’t place a name to it.
Determined to find out the identity of her discovery, she contacted KENS-5, a CBS broadcast affiliate in San Antonio. The news station was also curious, and sent a tissue sample to Texas State University-San Marcos for DNA testing.
Mexico wants to try for World Cup bid

Mexico wants to host what is arguably the biggest sporting event in the world — the FIFA World Cup of Soccer — in 2018.
While that sounds like it’s a ways off, Mexico is already preparing its bid for the tournament, and head of the Mexican Football Federation, Justino Compeán, made his case this week in the city of Puebla. Compeán says that Mexico is prepared to host the games, which have also taken place in his country twice before, in 1970 and 1986.
If this happens, will I be too old by that time to cover the event for VL? Yeah…

Pavarotti Dies at 71
10:37 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Music · 3 Comments
6 Sep 2007Bet you didn’t know that la Mala likes opera (blame my assimilationist papi). Today I am sad for the world’s loss of Luciano Pavarotti, who died at age 71 after struggling with pancreatic cancer. He was one third of the three tenors and had a bad boy reputation after leaving his longtime wife for his much younger secretary. And if you’re wondering what the hell Pavarotti has to do with Latino life, well maybe you should ask Ricky Martin, who sang with the Italian great in 2003.
