El Tufo de Corrupción
Por Javier Sierra
A todos les habrá llegado el tufo a podrido procedente de Washington, DC. El cabildero republicano Jack Abramoff, quien se declaró culpable de varios crímenes, parece ser sólo la punta del iceberg de una de las peores oleadas de corrupción en la historia del gobierno federal. Parece que de la cúpula del Capitolio se ha colgado un cartel que dice: “Se Vende al Mejor Postor.”

The Stink of Corruption
By Javier Sierra
Perhaps you have detected the stink of corruption wafting from Washington, DC. The crimes of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who pleaded guilty to several charges, seems to be just the tip of the iceberg in one of the worst corruption scandals in our federal government’s history. It seems as if a giant billboard has been hung from the dome of the Capitol that reads, “For Sale to the Highest Bidder.”

Why So Many Blacks Fear Immigration
By Earl Ofari Hutchinson
“There was this good kid, 17, who goes down to the local McDonalds to get a job. The manager tells him he can’t hire him because he doesn’t speak Spanish. Here’s a kid trying to get a little ahead — American born, four generations in South Central Los Angeles — who can’t sell french fries because he can’t speak a foreign language. You want to talk about disillusionment.”

El secreto de las remesas
Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D
Hay quienes suponen que, una vez que los dólares salen de tierras estadounidenses a través de las remesas, su mercado interno pierde circulante y se descapitaliza. Esta gente también supone que esta descapitalización afecta a los proyectos de inversión a corto y mediano plazo y reduce la creación de trabajos. Contrario a estas suposiciones, las remesas son positivas tanto en el país que las emite como en el que las recibe.

Celebración Universal “El Día del Amor”
Por: Paco Zavala
Existe en el mundo una definición clara y concisa que nos defina al amor. Si la existe, pero es tal la confusión existente sobre tal definición, que ¡Válgame Dios! la podemos multiplicar por cientos o miles de veces. De esta manera nos encontramos en la encrucijada de no entender nada sobre este asunto.

Rockers launch Rage Against the Machine Tribute Tour
By Camilo Arenivar
The second most important thing to ever happen to Southern California’s competitive Spanish Rock scene is about to happen. I can’t tell you what the first was, whether it was Verdad y Justicia forming an agreement with national distributor Navarre in 2004 to release Rock en Español CDs from independent bands nationally or if it was the release of the “Tributo a Rage Against The Machine…en Español” CD itself last November.
Ruz Captures League Wrestling Title
By John Philip Wyllie
A year ago, Bonita Vista High School’s Gabe Ruz Jr. had to sit out his junior season of wrestling due to a knee injury, but this year the powerful 145 pounder was back on the mats compiling a perfect league record while going 28-5 overall. His three victories last Saturday at Otay Ranch High School made him the lone Baron to secure a Mesa League title. This weekend, Ruz will compete against the county’s best in an effort to grab one of the six coveted slots that will advance him to the Masters Tournament.
