While Colombian President Alvaro Uribe slammed presidential wannabe Barack Obama for his public opposition to the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, it seems he has no friend in Hillary Clinton on the issue either.
The presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that her husband, the former president, supports a free trade agreement with Colombia that she strenuously opposes.

In Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, boobs bouncing in bathing suits is more appropriate at 11 am than the Simpsons.
The country’s TV regulator said the saga of Homer Simpson, wife Marge and their three children flouted regulations that prohibit “messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents”.
It said that some unspecified complaints had been received from viewers.
Televen’s manager may decide to show The Simpsons, which has been dubbed into Spanish, at another time of day.
It’s not even the original Baywatch replacing the popular cartoon family, it’ Baywatch Hawaii, a later incarnation of the lifeguard rescue show which started in 1989.

I am not a fan of chica lit, the Latinized version of a genre that tends to represent the realities of .5% of women but Linda Nieves- Powell’s book Freestyle, published by Atria, is the exception to the rule.
Centered around the character of Idalis, a Bronx born, Staten Island transplant, the book takes us inside the head of two thirty something Latina mothers experiencing what could be described as a mid-life crisis as sorts. Between worrying about the electricity bill, racist babysitters and employers, internet porn, and interracial dating, Idalis and her consort, Selenis, attempt to answer that question we all ask ourselves at one point or another: What if? What if I had hooked up with that guy instead of this? What if took a different educational path?

Early on Easter Sunday (March 23), the tour bus of Grammy Award-winning Tejano music star Emilio Navaira crashed into a set of freeway barrels. Navaira, the driver, was one of eight people injured in the crash. Navaira was hospitalized in critical condition.
That evening, I watched the news with family members in Houston. The joyful Easter Sunday turned solemn as we saw footage of the crashed bus. It was the first time the room — full of Tejanos and a singular Chicana from LA (me) — fell silent all day. I left Houston the next day wondering if there was any positive news on Emilio’s condition.
It turns out Navaira sustained serious head injuries in the bus accident. He was kept in a medically-induced coma and hypothermia had been inducec to minimize brain swelling (source Houston Chronicle).
Since then, fans have kept close watch on news of Navaira’s condition. Last week dedicated fans held prayer vigils throughout Texas. Fans have also kept Navaira’s brother, Raulito, in mind and are organizing a fundraiser for him.
The latest news on Navaira came today. The family released a statement thanking fans:
“We are deeply humbled by the unwavering support you have given our family. God has blessed our family in many ways throughout our lives and in each passing day I know he is listening to all of our prayers. We know that your prayers and well wishes are also helping. Emilio has looked into our eyes; he has held our hands as we have held his. Thank you again and we hope to share good news with you soon.
I hope to hear more good news on Navaira.
