Herndon, the fear factor |
| In this controversy about the Day Labor Center in the town of Herndon, one could see the fear as a main component of the opposition. And an irrational fear, at that. |

The rule of mercenary law |
As the Senate prepares for the confirmation hearings of John G. Roberts Jr. for the Supreme Court, many questions surface, not just about the nominee's views, past, ideology and judicial philosophy, but about the essence of law and justice, and, shall we dare say, the U.S. judicial system in particular.

The “ethnic media” |
Now they call us “ethnic media.” They see that “ethnic media” as a ray of hope for the resuscitation of a sharp eye in the so called mainstream Media, which seems to be taken hard blows from every direction.

Patience, he asked |
| Judith Miller, the New York Times reporter who decided that principles were still worth going to jail for, was getting ready for her gourmet lunch in prison when President Bush urged Americans to be patient and “not to prejudge the outcome of the investigation based on media reports." |

Don't go by the Hispanic last name! |
| Did you hear? Justice Sandra Day O'Connor retired! Yes, you heard that many times already because it is that important. But, in many ways, we are post O'Connor already. The battle for the nomination of the next Supreme Court Justice already started, and the lobbying is in full bloom. |

| The factual problem with facts |
| For some reason, probably due to the times we live, I have heard many times recently that one is entitled to his own opinion, but not her own facts. However, this seems to be a case in which repeating it doesn't make it true. |

| There we go again |
| Since we have nothing else to occupy our time, and since our communities are in the perfect shape we all wish for, blacks and Hispanics have again decided they better entertain themselves and others by engaging in a new ridiculous fight. |

| In the beginning was the context... |
| Sometime this month -the exact date is not important, because everything is relative- we are celebrating Albert Einstein and his breakthrough “Theory of relativity.” This may have very little to do with what's happening now in the world, but it also may be pivotal, since time and space are not fixed and everything connects with everything else. |

| No smiles in the Senate |
Are we in such a bad shape that an agreement brings more unhappiness than a fight? The answer is yes.
The “gang of 14,” seven Republicans and seven Democrats came with an eleventh hour agreement to avoid the nuclear option. Obviously, compromise means everyone lose something, but supposedly, everybody also wins. |

| Is being tolerant right? |
| Roger Noriega's steady climb through the ranks of U.S. diplomacy has been based not on his skills as a statesman or diplomat, but rather on a willingness to do what's necessary to defend U.S. elite interests abroad. In many instances, those actions have included shady dealings of questionable legality and morality. |

| Ignoring the Central American Presidents |
| Probably they did not choose a good day to come visit Washington, D.C., but for all the emphasis President Bush is placing on the Dominican Republic and Central America Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA), the group of six Central American presidents were not making it to the front page of any newspaper. Well, yes, this one, for obvious reasons. |

| Come to us, you non-believers |
| Ok, now we are in good shape! The President of the United States has given his blessing to those unbelievers who, regardless of that major shortcoming on their humanity, could still be considered good enough, and even as patriotic as those who worship. |
