Egyptian Cleric Compares Shakira to a Puta

Seems like Shakira’s hips my not lie pero they still have given her quite a reputation, at least in the eyes of one Egyptian religious leader who said that she is quite the lady of the noche.
An Egyptian cleric assured that (Shakira) “could be a lovely person. Yet beauty is something relative that cannot be found in the butt or legs of a woman, but in her moral values”…
Khaled Al-Gindi said: “it’s like being a prostitute. In this country we respect moral values ahead of the values of a superficial appearance.”
Pero what if you’re hot and have good real moral values? Certainly Shakira has done her fair share of community work with her Pies Descalzos foundation and ALAS.

24 Nov 2008Today I have managed to almost, but not quite, destroy my finger. Long story short, I very cleverly managed to jam the point of my knife into finger and then yank upwards–so I have a lovely cut and some bruising. Since it hurts to type at that moment (I have to keep my hurt finger up in the air, and type with seven fingers instead of eight), I’m gonna keep it light tonight…here’s my very favorite George Lopez skit:

Local elections yesterday in Venezuela didn’t yield the anti-Hugo Chavez sentiment some in the U.S. were hoping for. While the mainstream U.S. media is celebrating the wins of Chavez opponents in the Caracas mayor’s office and three of the most populous states, while playing down pro-Chavez candidates wins.
Pro-Chavez candidates kept gubernatorial posts in 17 states, while the opposition won five states.

President-elect Obama isn’t the only one making questionable choices in his political appointments. Puerto Rico’s Governor-elect Luis Fortuño chose the current assistant director of the FBI in Puerto Rico, José Figueroa Sancha, to head the island’s police force, further blurring the line between P.R.’s ability to govern it’s internal affairs and the reality of it’s status as a U.S. colony.
The New Head of Homeland Security and Her Friends in Ugly Places

President-elect Obama has made another cabinet pick, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano to head the always troubled Department of Homeland Security. The decision is being praised left and right because of her experience inside the border state and a “practical” attitude. And while I suppose being practical might be useful in a national government post, it doesn’t bode well for the millions of immigrants hoping that the change line Obama has been feeding people includes them and their families.
