How did we miss this ludicrous, constitutional reform that Hugo Chávez tacked onto his effort to become president ad infinitem? (The answer: refusing to watch a six hour rant on his weekly Venezuelan TV show this Sunday.) Huey wants all clocks to move forward by 30 minutes at the beginning of 2008, claiming that scientific evidence shows it’ll boost the metabolism and productivity of his countrymen. It’s as if Huey is groping for a way to maximize some sort of fanciful, six-hour work day. Oh, wait—he’s enforcing that, too.

Whats WRONG with that we have DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IN THE USA! This website claims to be catering to the Hispanic population (in the USA) but its nothing but Right Wing Yellow Journalism sprinkled with racist epitaphs such as ‘SPICY’ and ‘CALIENTE’ (last time I checked only Mexicans used HOT Peppers to spice their food) the editors are probabbly US born WHITE (OF SPANISH DESCENT) or even worse RIGHT WING CUBANS (A small minority of the hispanic US population), This doesn’t represent the wide spectrum of the latin population on the USA much less the latin population of the hemisphere.

DEMOCRACY IN LATIN AMERICA IS A JOKE, You are a ‘FREE DEMOCRATIC’ Society when you go along with the imposed ‘SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS imposed by the north, thats why the real power and land is controlled by AMERICAN corporations such as the ANACONDA MINING COMPANY, UNITED FRUIT, PEPSI AND COCA COLA that have committed TERRORIST ACT TO DEPOSE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERS AND REPLACED THEM with either incompetent corrupt idiots or fascist right wing dictators, while murdering and stalling economic progress in countries that wishes to pursuit socialist reforms

Indigena, thanks for your opinion. You’re absolutely right. We do not represent “the wide spectrum of the latin population on the USA much less the latin population of the hemisphere.” And thank God for that. We got into blogging to get away from committee-garnered schlock. And make no mistake, when I leave a message on the comments board, I use my name. Do you?

Ill WILL leave my name and real email as soon as you guys start working on your latin/hispanic sensitivity. You can start by removing stuff like spicy and other idiotic racist clichees the average white american use to refer to us. After all, the mayority of us DO NOT USE JALAPENOS, HAVE A BIG MUSTACHE OR WEAR SOMBREROS (Not even mexicans). This might actually increase your circulation with more latin americans.

Indigena, what’s your problem with white people or right wing cubanos? they also have a right to exist.
I’m Venezuelan, and left winger, and I just want to tell you dude, that Chavez annoys the shit out of me everytime he wants to play God and change our ways of life without even asking us.

Indigena must be white. Only stuck up white people with their panties in a bunch care about P.C. and sensitivity. The rest of us latinos know how to tell the difference between a joke and an insult.

Indigena contradicts herself… saying don’t use words white America uses to refer to “us” as if there were “Latino” without “white America.” Making differentiations between Mexicans and Venezuelans and right-wing Cubans. But aren’t they all “Latino”? Now… is there a pan-Latin identity or isn’t there?
And other than that… bitch just as crazy as Chavez. oooo-eeeee
