Happy Easter. Don't plan on Jesus showing up

In the spirit of the holiday here's a brief but thought-provoking read on the modern question WWJD?

"Sorry! Here's Why Jesus Wouldn't Join Today's Church" Damn, really? With a title like that who wouldn't be curious to read Jack Spatafora's article on Chicago Now.

And here's my little take on Holy Week in Mexico or, as it's called in Spanish, Semana Santa.

 


Doubt whom you will, but never yourself.

Tomas Young dying young

-
Don't just hate Bush Administration for being "compassionate conservatives" or for transforming our national surplus into years of saddling debt. Despise Bush & Cheney for the same reasons we pride ourselves on despising other lying warmongers: thirst for wealth and power at the cost of misguided lives.

Tomas Young was one of hundreds of delusional youth who enlisted in the military in the wake of 9/11. The economy wasn't great then either and the allure of the military begins to look more and more like a very tempting and "responsible" decision (he married young, besides) but the 22-year old Young signed up out of patriotism, not as a calculated career move. I almost did the same.
Iraq veteran's 'Last Letter' to Bush Administration 
He got his wish. He was sent into combat. Only it wasn't in Afghanistan where the bad guys supposedly originated (or Saudi Arabia where some of the terrorists' funding flowed) but, oddly, Iraq. Anywho, he was dying for action and, man, did he get it fast. Less than a week into his first tour Young's convoy was blasted by insurgents (you all remember that word, right?) leaving him paralyzed and dependent on life-providing medicines. 

That was 2004.

Now it's 2013 and Young has a new dying wish: to see the former vice president and his proxy express remorse...instead of backslapping on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War. And by 'dying' we mean just that. Young and his wife have chosen hospice care. Click above to read an excerpt of his Last Letter.

No mas Niemans

Well it's going on a month and La Maestra, Sra Gordillo is STILL in jail.

Mexicans are great at laughing at other people's misfortunes. Case in point: last week I saw a T-shirt in a souvenir shop with a caricature of Gordillo's surgically altered mug behind a window of bars. Attached to her black&white prison stripes is a red tag which reads: NO MAS MARCUS (No more Marcus)

A very, very clever pun at her infamous Nieman Marcus shopping spree.
