Cirque du Freak
5 Aug 2009My Salmita is going to be in another movie! Yay! This one, she will be playing the bearded lady in the vampire movie, Cirque du Freak. I’ve never heard of this movie before my Salma google alert let me know about it–but it looks really good.
Like it will really appeal to the vampire lovers in us all….but I don’t know. I’m more partial to bearded ladies these days…

According to the U.S. media, nearly every Latin American leader (unless in power because of a coup) wants to be Hugo Chavez. Just after Venezuela announced that it would be taking over 34 radio stations because they failed to “comply with regulations” , President Rafael Correa announced that Ecuador would nationalize “many” radio and television stations because “their concessions were granted illegitimately. “.
How many is many is still unknown but Correa is expected to release a list of the targeted stations next week.

Does a Vote Against Sotomayor = a Vote Against Latinos?

Whenever a Latino is nominated for some political post I’m not the type who starts cheerleading right away for them. I’m more of a “what have you done for me lately” type of supporter. And to be honest, the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court hasn’t inspired my support.
Let me be clear, there is no doubt that the Sotomayor nomination and what looks like will be her officially become a Supreme Court Justice is historic and important, especially from the perspective of one daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants looking at another. Pero, I felt much the same way about the initial nomination by the Democrats of Obama for the presidency. Historic? Yes. Impressive? Does he reflect my politics? Ehhh.
