The Kumbia Queers
15 Jul 2008I noticed that Mala got the privilege of going to see the all queer, all mujer cover band, the Kumbia Queers at the LAMC. I, on the other hand, got the privilege of surfing about the internet looking for youtube videos. Luckily, I was not disappointed!

How Big is the U.S Latino Population? Depends on Who You Count.

So just how big is this U.S. Latino population that politicians keep talking about? The official number is usually reported is around 45 million. Except, as the National Institute for Latino Policy points out, this excludes about 4 million Latinos, Latinos who are U.S. citizens living in Puerto Rico and the other U.S. territories.
So while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama kissed Rican ass during primary season, because of the fact that Ricans cannot vote in the regular presidential elections, they are not even counted as part of the U.S. Latino electorate.
