So much to talk, so bullet points for today:*Radical soccer blog From a Left Wing is truly a delight to read, and Jennifer Doyle might just be the next great progressive sports voice after Dave Zirin and Kurt Streeter.*Sonia Sotomayor courtesy of Adriana Maestas of Latino Politics Blog.*Protest Prop. H8 in Orange County!Soundtrack for today's show: "I'm on the Firing Line" and "Come and Go to

The main story in Los Angeles over the past couple of days has been the saga of Los Angeles Dodgers (that's baseball, true lefties) left fielder (a "position" in the sport) Manny Ramirez, who is now suspended until early July for taking a substance banned by Major League Baseball. Performance-enhancing drugs have been quite the rage over the past couple of years in the sport, as has been public

The contributions of Orange County’s Mexicans to Mexican-American achievements are few but crucial: Mendez vs. Westminster, New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, the city of SanTana, and Cruz Reynoso, the first Latino judge on the California State Supreme Court. Add to that list Manic Hispanic, the collection of Chicanos from influential O.C. punk bands who decided in adulthood it was firme to

What sick, demented fool could possibly deny that the Ottoman Empire exterminated Armenians in the early 20th century for simply being Armenian—the very definition of genocide, a term created by Raphael Lemkin with the massacre of Armenians in mind? Actually, quite a few. Turkey and many of its citizens vehemently deny that their forefathers tried to annihilate Armenians, and many will turn the

Last week, some drunk moron crashed into a southbound vehicle on the corner of Lemon Street and Orangethorpe Avenue in Fullerton and killed Anaheim Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two friends. Instead of letting their families mourn in peace, the Know Nothing Nation took this tragedy and used it as a forum to spew hate on Mexicans. Typical sensitive Aztlanista response by yours truly? Not this

I've been to too many college lectures to remember—thousand-strong rallies for Ralph Nader, another where three people showed up to hear testimonials of sex-abuse survivors. I understand the hassle for the non-student: parking fees, byzantine campus layouts, the temptation that is a coed in ass shorts. Nevertheless, I'll be highlighting two essential lectures in today's program: one at Loyola

Who says Latino life behind the Orange Curtain is dead? Between fighting gentrification and anti-Semitic fools, la naranja is brimming with activities for Latinos looking for a good time and everyone else willing to go native! Today, I'll promote three such events happening in downtown SanTana: pocho supreme Lalo Alcaraz at Calacas doing his chingaderas, public intellectual Gregorio Luke

President Barack Obama visits Orange County tomorrow, specifically the town of Costa Migra. Is Obama so clueless about Orange County that he can't figure out which towns are kosher and which aren't (judging by where he held a fundraiser last year, the answer is a big pinche no)? And, judging by his partnership with Rick "Purpose-Driven Life" Warren in the past, Obama knows about as much about la
