While Colombian President Alvaro Uribe slammed presidential wannabe Barack Obama for his public opposition to the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, it seems he has no friend in Hillary Clinton on the issue either.
The presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that her husband, the former president, supports a free trade agreement with Colombia that she strenuously opposes.

In Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, boobs bouncing in bathing suits is more appropriate at 11 am than the Simpsons.
The country’s TV regulator said the saga of Homer Simpson, wife Marge and their three children flouted regulations that prohibit “messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents”.
It said that some unspecified complaints had been received from viewers.
Televen’s manager may decide to show The Simpsons, which has been dubbed into Spanish, at another time of day.
It’s not even the original Baywatch replacing the popular cartoon family, it’ Baywatch Hawaii, a later incarnation of the lifeguard rescue show which started in 1989.

I am not a fan of chica lit, the Latinized version of a genre that tends to represent the realities of .5% of women but Linda Nieves- Powell’s book Freestyle, published by Atria, is the exception to the rule.
Centered around the character of Idalis, a Bronx born, Staten Island transplant, the book takes us inside the head of two thirty something Latina mothers experiencing what could be described as a mid-life crisis as sorts. Between worrying about the electricity bill, racist babysitters and employers, internet porn, and interracial dating, Idalis and her consort, Selenis, attempt to answer that question we all ask ourselves at one point or another: What if? What if I had hooked up with that guy instead of this? What if took a different educational path?
