Hiring: An experienced painter to color Texas blue

Minorities could be the new American majority by 2050

According to this article by MSNBC, there are four states (+DC) that have non-white majorities, Texas being one of them. So why the hell are we still a red state???

That's one state more than in 2000, when Texas was not on the list.

Republicrats and Democans UNITE! Defeat Rick Perry in the 2010 Governor race.

Yes, I am officially endorsing Bill White for governor and so should you. I don't care what your political preferences are. Don't vote for the dumbass who is making a fucking wall between Mexico and Texas. The next thing Rick Perry is going to do is the same shit going down in Arizona. If Rick Perry gets elected, minorities beware! Perry might make us wear fucking name tags or some shit proving we're not illegal. So make the smart choice Texas and vote the guy who isn't fucking building a wall. 

Vote Bill White

HEY TEXANS! November 2, 2010. Let's paint Texas blue! Don't fuck this up like Massachusetts did.

peace, love, and bill white for texas.

illegal immigrant debate extended to tv shows

I'm browsing through msnbc's home page and this lovely article caught my eye.
Dora the Explorer: illegal immigrant?

My initial reaction was "WTF?" but it seemed like an interesting article so I clicked on it. After reading it, I'm thinking I should have just passed over it.

I get that we live in a tv-generation where people don't know how to function without obsessively keeping up with television shows (*cough* Lost fans *cough*) but bringing in a cartoon character seems a bit low. Not only is Dora a cartoon character, but Dora the Explorer is a freaking children's show. The next thing people are going to say is whether or not we should let our children watch Blues Clues because it's a show about a guy who talks to his dog and has talking utensils...hallucination problems much? It's a tv show about a little girl named Dora who teaches kids how to count. Who care's if she speaks Spanish? I speak Korean but no one has a problem with me...well expect maybe Arizona.

Dora lives in an unidentified location with pyramids that suggest Mexico, but also tropical elements such as palm trees and her friends, Isa the iguana and Boots the monkey. Does that mean she's from South America or Florida?

Really? People need to just accept the fact that Dora speaks English and Spanish. Just because someone speaks both English and Spanish doesn't mean they're an illegal immigrant. What if she lives in Mexico but learned English at an early age? I still don't get why it matters. I've seen the show while babysitting a couple of 5 year olds...she has journeys all over the freaking place. Good job Nickelodeon for not disclosing her true location (no sarcasm intended), because it really doesn't matter.


Sure, I can see how Dora is brought up in the illegal immigrant debate going on in Arizona. But the bottom line is Arizona is fucked up and Dora the Explorer is an educational tv show for little kids. Let's not bring children's cartoons into the bigger debate. It just makes you look silly. Come on...it's freaking Dora the Explorer.


Finally! Something I like about Texas...it's not Arizona.


peace, love, and bagels.
