Miami, Florida - Distintos grupos de la comunidad hispana se reunieron ayer frente a las inmediaciones de las cadenas Univisión, Telemundo, Televisa y otras, para exigir el fallecimiento inmediato y trágico de alguna celebridad latina. Tras la penosa muerte de Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, y Billy Mays, este grupo se pregunta: "¿Cuándo tendremos la oportunidad de perder a uno de los nuestros?". "Nosotros los latinos necesitamos ocupar parte de lo que...

by Chip Cooper Copyright © 2009 Chip Cooper I’m often asked questions about SaaS (Software as a Service) agreements. What I have to prompt SaaS webmasters to ask is – "Is my SaaS agreement the only website legal document I need?" To most Saas site webmasters, the answer may be surprising. What Is a SaaS Agreement? A SaaS Agreement is a customer agreement, and for this reason, it’s usually the focal point for webmasters of SaaS websites. However, they’re rarely...

No ha sido la imagen eterna de Supermán cruzando el espacio para impartir justicia, o el rostro combativo del Che Guevara anunciando al mundo un nuevo orden, los que sembraron en la tierra el principio de bien común y solidaridad con la causa de los pueblos. Talvés esas ideas fueron difundidas por ideólogos trasnochados, soñadores y románticos profetas de la frescura combativa de la revolución francesa y la ardiente proclama de un mundo nuevo contenida en la...

Please, please don't let this woman near the white House, she is a moron, she is a cinemax hot librarian stereotype and a Milf but she is clueless. That is why the McCain's campaign has tried by all means to avoid leaving her with the press, because those bastards would dare to make questions and even worse they expect answers How dare you question this governor? didn't you know her running mate is a POW? Sarah Palin is not the answer to America's problems and with his senile running...

Muchas veces nos olvidamos de que estamos hechos por dentro. Nos preocupa tanto el día a día que si alguien nos pregunta por quien vamos a votar en las próximas elecciones, no sabemos, no vamos a votar o simplemente no nos interesa. Sin embargo, aquellos que si votan deben de tener muy presente de lo que están hechos por dentro ya que es eso los motiva a elegir a representantes que reflejan sus valores e ideología. ¿De que estas hecho por dentro? ¿En que...

Alex Thurston (The Agonist) on "The Settler Colony Theory": I actually think that the US does better with issues of race than Europeans do - and, as the friend I mentioned above says, perhaps it’s easier for them to create a communal ethic because their societies have until recently tended to be more ethnically homogeneous than ours. In fact, with the latest waves of immigration we’ve seen some real cracks in that ethic, or the facade of that ethic, and some real tests for...

Píntame angelitos negros Edgardo Rodríguez Juliá Tomado de El Nuevo Día, 24 de febrero de 2008 La pregunta no es si los norteamericanos están preparados para un presidente negro. Sería, más bien, si los puertorriqueños estamos preparados para un gobernador prieto, de color, negro o mulato, dinga o mandinga, carabalí, cuarterón o jabao, gulembo, con el pelo kinky o simplemente de complexión taína, como Willie Miranda Marín.

Adam Shepard, autor de Scratch Beginnings Get Rich Slowly se acaba de publicar una crítica al famoso libro Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, que trata sobre las escasas posibilidades de éxito que tiene la clase trabajadora estadounidense que labora por un salario mínimo en sitios como Walmart. El autor del blog dice que es un buen libro, pero que pudo haber sido mejor si no fuera un ?bizarro texto marxista sobre la lucha de clases?.

I knew that one day we would be missing John Kerry, unfortunate candidate for the White House 4 years ago. Babalu brings us how Obama supporters and even some Clinton ones, are not adverse sporting a Che image. Since I just put up one of these Che Guevara misplaced nostalgia, it is only fitting that I put up these misguided office decoration by some supporters of Obama. In particular this pic (courtesy of Fox via reader A. and Babalu) where the poster of Obama (circled in green) is dwarfed in front of the...

En Luisiana, en el sur de Estados Unidos, permanecen los tufos del racismo y símbolos que recuerdan la época de los linchamientos. Jena es un lugar igual a otros miles que existen en Estados Unidos. En lo más recóndito de Luisiana, una ciudad descabalada, con su iglesia -o más bien sus iglesias-, sus tiendas a lo largo de una gran calle? Un pueblucho poco atractivo donde el simple hecho de ser extranjero ya es un punto desfavorable. Este pueblo de 3.000 habitantes, cuya existencia ignoraba todo el mundo, a...

The human race is quite amazing. We tend to think that people who are different than we are, are worse than we are for the simple excuse that their skin color is different, or that they are immigrants, etc. It?s ridiculous, but it exists. Rousseau on ?Origin of Inequality? in 1754 wrote: ?I conceive that there are two kinds of inequality among the human species; one, which I call natural or physical, because it is established by nature, and consists in a difference of age, health, bodily strength, and the...

Whether it was his sloppy but albeit fun pop-punk outfit, Fracture, whom existed in the early 90's, or when he used to crisscross the nation with a sequencer he goofily called ?His Package.? It's not that Fracture wasn't catchy or Atom and His Package wasn't charmingly cute. I just couldn't ever stomach Goren's vocals, as it seems...
