La Vela Puerca - Va a escampar
Estaba escuchando un poco de La Vela Puerca anoche y pensaba que sería bueno poner otra canción de ellos acá en el blog.
Bueno, no son precisamente del género “rock nacional argentino“, ya que son uruguayos…pero no importa, es rock nacional.
¡Disfruten!
La Vela Puerca - Va a escampar
Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, wants to outlaw spanking children up to 3 years old. If she succeeds, California would become the first state in the nation to explicitly ban parents from smacking their kids.

Hace mucho que no pongo algo de rock nacional. Así que, sin otra cosa para decir…

Serena Williams: The best ever? Yup.
Is there any lingering doubt that Serena Williams is simply the best women’s tennis player of all time?
She completely dominates the sport a few years ago, seemingly grows tired of it, is injured most of last year and then comes back to win the Australian Open as an unseeded player, crushing Maria Sharapova in the […]

State of the Union Wrap-up
Dan Flynn has the best one I’ve read.
Obama Goes Radioactive
Yikes.
Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage?
This is the question Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama.
If this pans out, I can’t imagine this guy has a prayer (no pun […]

Mitt Romney Is No Space Alien
From an article of the same title:
Mitt Romney isn’t a flesh-eating space alien, programmed for the domination of America by Mormon masters in Salt Lake. Nor is Mitt a closet polygamist with multiple wives stowed away in the back country of Massachusetts.
But Romney, past governor of Massachusetts and prime presidential contender, is indeed Mormon, and […]
Dingy Harry: “I hate the 1st Amendment.”
If Harry Reid wasn’t enough of a joke as it is, here is the Democrat’s latest foray into limiting free speech:
HARRY REID INTRODUCES BILL TO REGISTER BLOGGERS? Hmm.
And from that link:
S.1 has been introduced in the Senate as “lobbying reform” — which in this case means “First Amendment infringements.” An amendment has been attached, which […]
Is Gmail deleting my emails?
I’m wondering…
Twice in the last week I’ve gone searching for “conversations” in Gmail and have been unable to find them. When I fire up Mozilla Thunderbird (where I keep a backup of my Gmail email) I am able to locate the emails without any problem.
Not good.
