[Can't tell the difference between politics and policy? Need personal advice of a political nature -- or vice versa? Send your question to Stumped. Questions may be edited.] Dear Stumped, Why does it seem that the United States is so afraid of Mexico? -- Dave Walker Dear Dave, Because you deserve a well-reported answer, I came to Mexico. I even stopped in Mexico City for a few days before coming to the beach. Running in Chapultepec Park, behind the castle, I came across a Mexican tour group whose guide was getting into the gory details of the martyrdom of the "boy heroes.'' These were the military school cadets who leapt off a cliff to their deaths rather than surrender the Mexican Flag to the invading American army in 1847. Later that day I took a friend to the San Angel neighborhood, and we saw the plaque commemorating the Irish members ... Source: latimesblogs.latimes.com --- 7 days ago
"He has shared everything for most of his scuffled life, from twin beds to sofa cushions to last bites." "It only made sense, then, that when he stunningly won an Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling Tuesday, the Los Angeles-born son of undocumented Mexican immigrants would also share," writes Bill Plaschke. That Flag gave a chance to a kid who paid for wrestling by selling tamales on the street. That kid now held it tight as he dropped to the mat and dissolved in tears. "I'm living the American dream," said [Henry] Cejudo, 21. "The United States is the land of opportunity, and I'm so glad I can represent it." The Flag gave his mother a chance to raise six children on menial wages in countless apartments from Los Angeles to Las Cruces, N.M., to Phoenix. The son now flapped it across his back like a cape, as if showing the world how it had enabled him to fly.Kevin Baxter profiles Cejudo here, and adds more color from the event:Cejudo's parents divorced when he was 4 and he saw his father, Jorge, only one more time before he died in Mexico City. But his mother, Nelly Rico, raised a family of six children on her own, bouncing from low-paying jobs in California to New Mexico and Arizona, where the family sometimes slept four to a bed.A large group of family and friends -- including sister Gloria, brother Alonzo and brother Angel, his training partner in Beijing -- were in the stands for the match. And they made so much noise the ... Source: latimesblogs.latimes.com --- 14 days ago
"The crowd had long since filed out of the arena, most of the press was gone and it was largely quiet in the bowels of the National Aquatics Center. For a moment, then, it was easy for Mexican platform diver Tatiana Ortiz to believe it was all just a dream," writes the L.A. Times' Kevin Baxter from Beijing."So she reached into the pocket of her sweatsuit jacket for proof.""It's not an illusion," she said, fingering her bronze medal again. Ortiz wasn't simply being modest, because any thoughts she and synchronized diving partner Paola Espinosa had of Olympic glory might as well have been an illusion 15 months ago. Back then, the two women seemed to be at odds as much as they were on the platform, struggling to find a bond under new coach Ma Jin. Tuesday, however, they gave Mexico its first medal of the Beijing Games, finishing behind China's Wang Xin and Chen Ruolin and Australia's Briony Cole and Melissa Wu in the women's 10-meter synchronized diving. U.S. teenagers Haley Ishimatsu of Seal Beach and Mary Beth Dunnichay of Elwood, Ind. -- at 15, the youngest Americans in Beijing -- nailed their final dive to jump three places to fifth in the final standings, but finished a distant 21 points behind the Mexicans. "I don't have the words to describe this moment," said Espinosa, who carried Mexico's Flag in the opening ceremony. "I'm an Olympic medalist." -- Reed Johnson in Mexico City Photo: Paola Espinosa, foreground, and Tatiana Ortiz g ... Source: www.chron.com --- 6 days ago

Politics: Barack Obama tells "The Race" that U.S. law enforcement officers are terrorists and that communities that enforce immigration laws are vigilantes. But then, that's exactly what La Raza believes.Obama, the "post-racial" candidate, pandered Sunday to a group of Hispanic activists that calls itself "The Race." The only thing that was missing at the convention of the National Council of La Raza was his wearing a Mexican Flag lapel pin. In Orwellian fashion, defenders of "La Raza" deny that it means "the race." San Francisco Chronicle writer Carla Marinucci says of Obama's appearance before the group's national convention in San... ...

With six sheriff’s deputies standing guard, a jury late this afternoon recommended that former Atwater Village gang leader Timothy McGhee be sentenced to death for the murders of three people. McGhee, 35, had been convicted of the murders last November, but the original jury deadlocked on whether he should be put to death or receive life in prison without parole. The ex-Toonerville street gang chief is a charismatic, goateed figure who could pass for a motivational speaker. Last month, as he stood trial for leading a 2005 prison riot in the cell block he commanded, McGhee attended trial attired in a variety of well-pressed suits, his shaved head revealing a scalp tattoo of the eagle and snake found on the Mexican Flag. Today, in a nearly empty courtroom, he wore a dark chalk-striped suit as he listened to the 12 jurors individually confirm their decisions to send him to death row. All court officers stood up as the 12-member panel left Department 104 – only McGhee remained seated. Judge Robert J. Perry will sentence McGhee later in the fall. ...

In the fall of 2002, in the company of a dog named Charlie Chaplin and an architect named Michael Meredith, I set out to drive a 1960 Chevy Apache 10 pick-up truck, at 45 mph, from far west Texas to New York City: 2364 miles through desert, suburbs, forests, lake-spattered plains, mountains, farmland, more suburbs and the Holland Tunnel. I got to know both of my travelling companions during a brief period living in the town of Marfa, Texas, which is also where I found the truck, parked in front of the post office: boxy, banged up, covered in sky-blue house paint, the half-smashed windshield a lattice of stars and linear cracks, like a Flag. A Mexican man in his sixties walked outside with his mail and drove it away. Then I found it parked out by the cemetery. Jesse Santesteban, the owner, showed me where he'd signed the engine compartment like an artist, and said I could take a closer look. The doors had handmade wooden armrests, and the seatbelts were fashioned of canvas and chain link. An orange shag carpet covered the floorboards. I offered him $1200 cash. He handed over a green plastic keychain that read 'Laugh, live, love and be happy!' and warned: 'Don't take it over 45 or it'll throw a rod.' A friend later explained: 'That's a polite way of saying the engine will explode.' ...

The Fourth of July can be enjoyable for the entire family, including pets, if the proper precautions are taken. Many animals are scared of the booming and bright lights associated with fireworks. “The pets become so unglued,” said Jim Bader, a veterinarian at Mapleview Animal Hospital, 185 Panther Drive in Holland Township. Dogs and cats often panic, break through windows or run out open doors, according to the Harbor Humane Society in Olive Township. Once they get going they run until they are lost. The society recommends people keep doors and windows closed. It said pets should be put in a secure crate or carrier in a quiet location.

Forget the speeches and the platform, the delegate votes and the big Barack Obama speech tonight. Political conventions are nothing if not stages on which the craziest campaign volunteers — both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have them! — can strut around in their wildest costumes. No one's been spotted with a sticker on their forehead yet, even though that's a trademark move of Clinton's crazier supporters, or wearing an Abercrombie shirt, even though that's the preferred apparel of Barack Obama's emptiest young volunteers. But the hoi polloi are coming to the big stadium event tonight, so anything is still possible. So far the DNC has seen hats and other attire in flavors vaguely gay, cowboyish, Flag-desecrating, Mexican and just plain insane. There's a photo gallery after the jump, culled (mostly) by our own Richard Blakeley from the sea of convention footage. ...
clipped by: dulios Clip Source: www.nydailynews.com Son of illegal immigrants Henry Cejudo gives U.S. Olympic gold BEIJING — Henry Cejudo , the 21-year-old prodigy who had competed in only one world-level senior tournament before Beijing, won the gold medal Tuesday at Olympic freestyle 55-kilogram wrestling. Cejudo, crying the moment the match ended and wrapping himself in an American Flag, defeated Tomohiro Matsunaga of Japan 2-2 on tiebreaker and 3-0 in the best-of-three match. Cejudo, the son of undocumented Mexican aliens who bypassed a college career to try to become an Olympian, assures of the United States of winning a freestyle wrestling gold for the ninth consecutive Olympics at which it has competed. His parents were undocumented Mexicans who met in Los Angeles . His mother had six kids, four with his father, Jorge, who was in and out of prison until dying of heart problems at age 44 last year. Henry never saw him after age 4. Tags: olympics , beijing , immigration , illegal immigration ...
Boxing star Manny Pacquiao will carry the Philippine Flag at the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games in August. The Philippine Olympic Committee headed by POC president Jose Cojuangco has acceded to President Arroyo’s request to make Pacquiao the Flag bearer instead of multi-titled Southeast Asian Games swimmer Miguel Molina who was earlier named to be the bearer. Meanwhile, boxing experts say that after his victory over Mexican American David Diaz at Mandalay Bay casino last month, Pacquiao deserves to be crowned as the unofficial best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. Pacquiao himself doesn’t care about that particular title. At the same time Pacquiao has started counting his seven-digit earnings for his victory over Diaz. Previous reports said it will be in the vicinity of $5 million or approximately P225 million. He has a guaranteed purse of around $3 million plus a share of the pay-per-view sales. Pacquiao returned home early this month with his wife Jinkee and some friends. At a press conference, he said he would donate P3 million to victims of typhoon Frank and initiate a calamity fund drive. Before going to Malacanang to pay a courtesy call on Arroyo, the Pacquiao entourage attended a first Friday Mass at Quiapo church, creating heavy traffic as fans tried to get a glimpse of the first Filipino to win the world lightweight diadem.

By Debbie Schlussel Today, USA Today has an editorial whining about Customs and Border Protection agents searching people's laptops and handheld devices at the Canadian and Mexican borders. (Michael "Serpenthead"/"Mr. Burns" Chertoff has a very limp op-ed in response.) Given that various of these electronics have been used to blow up Americans abroad and could be used to do the same here--and given that terrorists use laptops to plan their attacks, I'm not sure what the problem is here. Except that the ones do the loudest whining are Muslims. USA Today doesn't tell you that in its ACLU-esque editorial today, but it did in a cover story just after Independence Day. The story was about Jawad Khaki , a British Muslim (USA Today won't admit in the story that he's a "Religion of Pieces" member) who expatriated to the U.S. and frequently travels abroad. He bitched about the fact that his smartphone has been repeatedly checked at the border. And to make the point of how faux-patriotic he is, like many Muslims after 9/11, he poses in front of an American Flag. Awww, touching. Muslim Faux-Patriot Supermodel: Jawad Khaki Doesn't Want Feds to See His Smartphone @ Border Khaki's an upper class executive, after all, and they would never-- nevah evah !--commit terrorism, would they? Especially a British Muslim who repeatedly travels in and out of America. Nope, not your ideal candidate for an evil-doer. Methinks Jed Clampett and his nephew Jethro a ...
