Solo Aquí- Sony Store Mayaguez Mall

I found a very interesting article in LIBRE EXPRESION PUERTO RICO.COM that deals with a situation that is very common here on the island and is a cause of much friction. The article: Solo Aquí- Sony Store Mayaguez Mall , deals with one persons search for work and the obstacles that are encountered. It is something that happens here quite often and has kept many from seeking what they search for. After having read it I did some research into the area of fear and came across this article at Learning Fountain .Com which gave a pretty good explanation regarding this issue. For the first article click here. For the second article click here.

Soldiers Asked to Return Bonus for Being WIA?

Beware I say, Beware! There are things going on with returning wounded vets that are not being said and all those thinking of signing up to get that bonus I say this, BEWARE. According to the information I got tonight, and I don’t have it all, a veteran who was blinded while serving in Iraq and was honorably discharge was sent a bill ( not sure if it was the Pentagon or Army ) to the tune of close to $3,000.00!
Why you may ask. Very simple, a breach of contract ( or so they say ). This soldier, through no fault of his own gets wounded, he ends up blind ( not certain if it was one eye or both ) , is shipped back the honorably discharged after which he is sent a bill to pay back the bonus money. I am deliberately not mentioning any names because I am writing this as a human being and in no way as any sort of reporter.

I guess anyone with a 9th grade education can see the problem. I wonder if the recruiters mentioned any of this prior to the guy signing away his life! Since mine is a blog that deals with Latin issues I begin to wonder how many Latin’s have gone through this experience and repaid the bonus rather than rightfully take it to court to fight it. It’s funny but during the report I saw on CNN not once did I hear mention of court. I heard about the issue going before the soldiers congressman but no mention of court. Another funny thing about this report is that they stated that this first surfaced back in June or July! I get the impression it has been going on a lot longer than that.

A number of bloggers are not using as civil a tongue as I am regarding this issue. There is actually Fire and Brimstone coming out of some of those sites and rightfully so. Then they have the nerve to bitch about how their recruitment quota’s are not being met!

I bring up this whole issue here because I know there are many young Latin men out there thinking about signing up ( since there are so few options for many Latin’s ) so they can hopefully get those so called bonuses to try and make a stab at things and maybe, just maybe get ahead. I would strongly suggest you re-think the whole idea! I had always been of the observation that these recruiters would lie to their own mothers to get them to sign on the dotted line and meet their quota

Aníbal Acevedo Vilá Retira Apoyo A Estados Unidos: "¡Nos Jodimos!", Dice Condoleezza Rice

People you must click on over to El Ñame and take a look at the Fiasco the Governor of Puerto Rico has caused with his declaration to: Withdraw the support they have given the United States! Said the slave to the master!

Here is a little morsel of the account:
El Gobernador le informó en una carta a la Secretaria de Estado, Condoleezza Rice, que si la Casa Blanca realmente apoyaba el informe de su Task Force, que establecía que el ELA no era una solución final al estatus, pues claramente le mintieron a sabiendas a Puerto Rico en 1953. Aseguró que ante tal situación, no tendría más opción que "retirar el apoyo tradicional que le hemos dado a los Estados Unidos ante la ONU sobre este asunto", específicamente ante Irán, Venezuela y Cuba, las cuales cuestionan la relación entre Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico.

Now you have to excuse me while I go over to Youtube and hear the Wise Words of El Jefe and see what he has to say about all this. Join me if you want!

Speedy Gonzalez Cartoon

Though this cartoon is old ( I think around the mid 50's ) it sure as hell seems to reflect our current times. Humor is a necessity if we are to maintain our sanity! Enjoy!

Rosie talks stereotypes, gives lesson on history

I came across a most fascinating article early this morning regarding Rosie Perez on The Robesonian.
Here is a small excerpt with the link.

By Tim Wilkins - Staff writer

PEMBROKE - Monday night at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Rosie Perez did the right thing.
The actress/choreographer/ director/producer and all-around Brooklyn bombshell, who got her big break when she portrayed Tina - Spike Lee's hot-as-a-jalapeno love interest in his 1989 cinematic ode to racial tension in New York City, “Do The Right Thing” - gave a racially tinged real-life performance as she discussed her own Puerto Rican heritage and the racial disparities that she says still confront this nation and her people.
