Seems like Republican presidential candidate John McCain is unsuspending his campaign and will be participating in tonight’s debate.
Not that anyone really believed the campaign was “suspended”.
So guess what VivirLatino will be doing this Friday night? We’ll be liveblogging the debate here and live tweeting it (Just request to follow @vivirlatino or @mamitamala).
So join us at 9 pmish (EST). We’ll bring the vino.
Pointing el Dedo : Those Damn Illegals are to Blame for Economic Meltdown

Need someone to blame for the economic downturn, for the mortgage crisis? Look no farther than Maria y Jose. That’s right it’s those damn illegal immigrants (or some would have you believe). After all they control the money and the system that controls that. No? DreamActivist writes over at The Sanctuary:
Why, don’t you know, those migrant workers, low-income wage-earners, illegals in the military, undocumented students struggling to afford college, caused the financial collapse of Wall Street, Main Street, all streets!! Now we need a $700 billion dollar bailout for them!
Sylvia P also follows the path atras, as to who really is to blame.
It started with the ambitions of a single illegal alien.
That’s right. I said it. We have no time for political correctness now. If Sen. McCain can suspend his campaign, I can suspend my intelligence to state things plainly. And plainly, my investment banker siblings, it always starts with one.
And we ignored the signs, even when it appeared in the news way back when the Mexicans first began ousting CEOs.
Revisiting the Personal and Political of the Democratic National Convention
6:33 am By Maegan La Mala · Blogs|denver|DNC|DNC08|US Presidential Race 2008 · 1 Comment
26 Sep 2008Ay the Democratic National Convention seems like such a long time ago. Denver, it’s thin air, the madness of running from one place to the other as a credentialed bloggers, being misquoted. Pero it was only four weeks and a few days ago. While much has happened since then in terms of the presidential race, what’s the saying? The more things change the more they stay the same.
Check out the DNC aventura, Beer (Veneer?) and Loathing : The Pollatix of Grain and Periphery, from the lens of the talented Nezua aka The Unapologetic Mexican. It made me weep, pero that’s probably because I was there and because Nezua really captured everything that was going on so perfectly.
