The Primary Disappointment

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

It’s a good thing I’m not allowed to curse on this blogsite, because after the results from the primary elections I really want to just write a blog full of four letter words. Mostly because the senatorial race comes down to these two guys.

Rodney Glassman

John McCain

 The problem is this, we are left to choose between the old guy that tells you stories about walking up the hill  to get to and from school and the moron who sat next to you and breezed through school because his dad paid for the new gym. Well, come November I will become the Independent many voters fear, you know the type, the one that splits the vote.  The one Democrats blamed for Gore losing against Bush, because they voted for Nader. Come November, Dems, I’m voting for Johnny Mac.  McCain may be out of touch and supports SB1070 but at least he’s upfront about being a jerk, where Rodney will deny it and fake it. At least McCain is predictable.

Get informed on border issues and enjoy a good documentary UPDATE!

I know I’ve been very inactive recently, mostly due to my daytime job and the freelance projects I have to turn in under deadline so the blog takes a back seat.  Recently, I was alerted to a very important film showing here in the Old Pueblo.  The film was done by local director Luis Carlos Davis and is being shown at different film festivals and has garnered plenty of attention due to the current political climate that we are currently in. The title: 389 Miles “Living the Border” .

CAPTION: 389: Living the Border

The film will be screening at the University of Arizona at the Gallagher Theater September 8th. The film has already created plenty of buzz in several film festivals and won the Audience Award for Best Film at the Puerto Vallarta International Film Festival. Go enjoy and take a friend, a relative, a member of congress or your governor (Jan Brewer I’m talking to you).  In fact, all jokes aside, if you are involved in government and are making laws about immigration it is your responsibiity to go see this film. Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives go get informed and check it out, if anything at least to see the human smuggler that conducts his interview in a Lucha Libre mask.

UPDATE: The showing will be at the Gallagher theater at the U of A on Wednesday September 8, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. and its absolutely free!!!!
