This is the type of America that conservatives have created. A divided America is a bad America and unfortunately Bush has failed to unite it as he promised in 2000. The video covers what exactly happened so I will not dwell on that aspect. Instead, I shall offer my commentary as a Hispanic-American that speaks both English and Spanish fluently.

My country has made feel ashamed to speak Spanish in public and although it is my fault for letting those feelings overcome my dignity. I am slowly becoming more comfortable speaking in public without paying much attention to those small minded individuals that look in dismay. You see, this is my country as well and as a free country I can speak whatever language I wish to. The United States does not have and should not have an official language. That does not mean that I do not believe in cohesion and using one practical language for administrative purposes. It is quite obvious that English is the main stream tongue of choice so those nationalist that feel that it is imperative that we create a law dictating the official language should hold their horses.

First off, upon seeing that video . . . the owner claims to have been concerned about the problem of immigration so he asked the individuals for proof of citizenship based on the fact that they did not speak English well. Coincidentally, apparently he does not have a firm grasp of English or at least grammar when he stated "good English" but that is a side note.

What amazes me is that this type of rhetoric was practised by the Nazi in Germany against the Jews. When the economy was failing and jobs were lost the Nazi's scapegoated the Jews. It seems eerily familiar. What will it take for Americans to reject this culture war of scapgoating. Do Hispanics have to all be rounded up and placed in camps for their protection against ICE or radical groups before we become outraged. Perhaps, it will happen once all Hispanics have to wear identification that dictates their immigration status. If it happens though will you stand up against the injustice. Individuals are only shifting the problem to a minority that can not defend themselves. Those same individuals are the ones responsible for this actual mess we are currently in.

Never heard of the Chaser's War on Everything? Think of it as Jackass but with a more mature witty touch of humor. It currently airs on ABC (Australian Brodcasting Company) which explains their funny accents. Who would think that folks from Down Under could offer such insightful hilarious commentary about America. During my travels through Europe, many Australians enlightened me that they get all our programming which explains why they are so intune to our shows. If you are ever in Australia or just happen to be bored back in the States, check out these guys on YouTube. Believe me, you will be hooked!

What have the bald guys and hot chicks not been telling us about the economy? Did you know that our economy has been continually worsening because of the prospect that Democrats may take over the Presidency in 2008?! Me neither! But luckily FOX "news" is there to let us know all about it. And Neil Cavuto is right there in the line up to tell us why it's really happening-- because we rock! AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

Upon hearing that Heath Ledger expired earlier this week I was saddened to see such a good actor depart so early in life. No matter what caused his demise whether it be natural or due to substance abuse it does not take away from the fact that he was a great actor. I still remember seeing him for the first time back in 1999 in 10 Things I Hate About You and most recenly for his superb acting in Brokeback Mountain.

I was shocked to find out the next day that some right wing conservative people were applauding his death because of his role in Brokeback Mountain. To put the icing on the cake though, FOX News' John Gibson mocked the death in bigot fashion by playing clips from the movie and somehow relating them to the death. I have uploaded a YouTube video of the audio as well as MSNBC Dan Abrams reaction-- I think I have found a new progressive, free thinking, open minded journalist.
