The Real Dora is Less Screamy than the Cartoon Version
It's no surprise to anyone that I think Dora the Explorer is a screamy headache inflicting show. But the real Latina voice behind the Latina cartoon powerhouse is soft spoken in comparison. ... Read more »
South Park Parodies Stand and Deliver
I'm not a big South Park fan, but once in a while, I'll watch to catch a glimpse of my favorite character, Towelie. (And no, he's not my favorite because I share his, um, habits.) Last night's episode, "Eek,... Read more »
Los Simpsons Don't Live In Venezuela

Univision PAC Supporting Anti-Immigrant Congressman

A Cartoon No Child Should Be Seeing : Chop Socky Chooks

His Panic : Geraldo Rivera Won't Shake Lou Dobbs' Hand
