Yesterday nearly 300 people gathered in front of the Colombian mission to protest against paramilitary violence in Colombia and violence in general in the South American nation. The crowd was representative of the diverse Latino community that is in solidarity with Colombians. The organizers also expressed their disagreement with the war cries of Ecuador and Venezuela.

Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao published by Riverhead Books, won the National Book Critics Circle award for fiction. I feel it’s well deserved. The book made me and lots of friends I know cry. When a book make you cry, it has to be good.

As much as it makes me shudder and as much as I struggle to wrap my brain around it, there are a large number of Latino Republicans. With John McCain pretty much crowned the Republican presidential nominee the focus is on that oh so important Latino vote.
The Spanish language media is all over McCain for his role in formulating immigration reform, including sponsoring a bill on immigration reform that now he wants nothing to do with. Republican Latinos take note.
