Yanquidemierda

I liked the name of my old MySpace blog: Yanquidemierda. I decided to resurrect it for my new Vlog experiment. Here’s the first installment.

Technology is fun! I promise to be more glamourous in future episodes.

10-Year Old Stands Up for Gays in USA

I can’t figure out which would be more bizarre: to live in a society where marriage is prohibited to only you and others like you, or to have a child as brilliant, mature and conscientious as this kid.

Hats off to the brave 10-year-old Will Phillips and his father Jay for risking their comfort, reputations and [...]

Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody

Rachel Maddow vs. Lars Ulrich

When I left the U.S. to live in Barcelona, Bush was in his first term as President, we were a couple years into the War on Terror, America was a nation filled with fear and hate, and there was nobody like Rachel Maddow on TV.

Times have changed. Hallelujah and praise Jesus, for once.

I love Rachel [...]
