  I am dismayed that this hopeful post was somewhat unfounded… I am dismayed that this hopeful post was somewhat unfounded. I was hopeful to see the US engaging in a smart PR/information war in the middle east is not succeeding as we might hope. I wish we were playing our cards better.

  I have an irrational affinity for Christina Aguilera. I have an irrational affinity for Christina Aguilera. In part it is irrational because her roots are multiethnic, like me. I have at least Scot, Irish, Mexican, Spanish, French, and Yaqui in me. Christina can legitimately claim to be Latina, and be on the cover of Latina Magazine.
