El Gringo y El Gallo: Semuc Champey, Guatemala

El Gringo y El Gallo. A solitary Norteamericano ambling relatively aimlessly through Latin America. Wednesday, September 12, 2007. Semuc Champey, Guatemala. From Las Marias to.Las Marias. Having escaped near-death in Honduras, I high-tailed it back to Guatemala. I now had less than a full week before my flight home- and I wanted to hit Semuc Champey; the famous market at Chichicastenengo; and a night back in Antigua to see my host family. And here's our group under the same protrusion:. The water was geo...

El Gringo y El Gallo: Leon, Nicaragua

El Gringo y El Gallo. A solitary Norteamericano ambling relatively aimlessly through Latin America. Tuesday, September 11, 2007. After my ordeal trying to mail my purchases from Masaya, I gathered my strength and headed to Leon. I had wanted to see Lago Nicaragua. But ultimately decided that I should keep heading north towards Honduras rather than double back south. Here's a shot of the central square in front of the cathedral:. On the advice of a great Dutch couple who work at the hostel, Harry and Mach...

Solomon Isaacs!: The Jack Bauer Rules?
http://solomonisaacs.blogspot.com/2005/01/jack-bauer-rules.html
The Jack Bauer Rules? I must say, the return of 24 (awesome) in tandem with some using 24-esque scenarios to absolve. Laws on the other hand? Posted by Alex at 1/31/2005 04:15:00 PM. Thats what we call math. Inconsequential thoughts about DNC chair. Washington Monthly and Kevin Drum. Center for American Progress. Gotham Gazette (NYC Politics). Books I have enjoyed as of late. Strange Victory, by Ernest May. Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, by Rebecca West. All the Shah's Men, by Stephen Kinzer.

There is no war! It's a couple thousand people, not a state! I am going mad. Please stop Laura Bush, please. She is making me insane. Posted by Alex at 8/31/2004 10:48:00 PM. I like how Laura mentioned Bush's aborted Congressional run: "our first campaign 25 years ago" as though he's a career politician and didn't spend the intervening years as a worthless businessman propped up by nepotism. But whatever. Posted by Alex at 8/31/2004 10:36:00 PM. The Bush twins are such hose beasts, I can't stand it.

Spinning the next generation. On the AARP's momentous decision to throw their weight behind Bush's Medicare bill. Novelli's reasoning about why the organization was compelled to support the bill, in spite of many members' strong disapproval, was that the younger members the AARP has been courting in the last several years, i.e., those not actually receiving Medicare yet, were receptive to the bill.

On being a liberal. But the ensuing gridlock has shown its cracks in recent years. Bowing to political pressures, Bush has all but abandoned "starve the feds" rhetoric (regardless of his backers' true intent). The increasingly frequent omission of true believer anti-government rhetoric in American politics points to a time when we can again have substantive debates about how government should be shaped.

If you are desperately trying, as I am, to get a grip on the Hamdi, Padilla, and Guantanamo (Rasul v. Bush), decisions from today, might I suggest you start with Prof. Balkin. Posted by Alex at 6/28/2004 11:36:00 PM. Why journalists sound like idiots even though they're actually smarter than you. Brad DeLong has a fine new installment from the department of "Why Can't We Have a Better Press Corps" here. Surely there are exceptions, and I would suggest that Paul Krugman's real popularity comes not from hi...
