Pleased to Introduce …
|
I’d like to welcome our Republican guest blogger HispanicPundit from hispanicpundit.com. I will let him introduce himself and how he came to his political views, but I want to explain how I first came across his blog. I believe I found this post via Latino Pundit and here was a question I often asked myself: How come Latino voters aren’t more conservative? I’ll stay away from that discussion for now, but I left a comment on HispanicPundit’s blog which then turned into a short-lived email correspondence about conservativism and liberalism in general. It was an email correspondence I wanted to keep going, but I just didn’t have the time. I’m glad we waited because I think this is going to be a much better place to let that conversation happen. I will let HispanicPundit introduce himself and delve into whatever issue he wishes to start discussing. He’s a very friendly, thoughtful guy and I hope that you treat him with respect and also challenge his political opinion. Welcome aboard HP. |

[Philanthropy] Stay Human
I hesitantly decided to become involved in philanthropy because I believe that civil society has an important role to play in bringing about a more sustainable, just, and well governed 21st century society. Businesses and governments have their fundamental roles

Fiscal Transparency (is Not Enough)
OpenSpending.org has simple goal that is extraordinarily difficult to achieve: wherever you may live, you enter in how much you earn per month, press a button, and poof, a stunning visualization of where your tax money goes. Let’s say I’m

Back to My Printing Press
I started blogging at el-oso.net in December 2003. I didn’t expect it to last long; mostly I wanted to keep a travel diary for a road trip around Mexico, and I figured, why not keep it on the Internet? Several

It was about five o’clock in the morning when Cindylu, with her sweet little voice — all chamomile and honey — says, “Oso, you should probably put some vaseline in your butt crack.” That’s when I knew I was in

Bienvenido, HispanicPundit. I’m looking forward to the discussions over the next month.
David, HP voted for Kerry this election primarily due to Iraq…That was one of the biggest issues in this election. Not that it still won’t be interesting to hear is point, I think we should find someone who voted for Bush in this election.
I take that back — i was reading the worng section
Just a quick clarification HP: Raman is not in the fifth grade. If you can decipher is (lack of) spelling, he’ll probably be making some really good arguments.
oso — speaking of spelling, i think you meant to say “his”
Raman: “Not that it still won’t be interesting to hear is [sic] point”
Oso: “If you can decipher is [sic](lack of) spelling, he’ll probably be making some really good arguments.”
Raman: “i think you meant to say ‘his’”
the irony is so thick you could cut it with a large chainsaw.
Sorry Abogado, obviously you will be making the most (self) important arguments.
Ramone, my apologies, just don’t bitch slap me again ok?
that was a good laugh — helps the time fly at work.
