Piensa en Obama y endereza la columna
15 horas en camión
q hueva
pero feliz feliz pensando en obama
piensa en un personaje que va en un camión mexicano, recorriendo parte del norte de México mientras piensa que Obama acaba de ganar, novela histórica
el mundo se regocijaba y tomaba su verdadero curso mientras yo viajaba en un autobús desde Hermosillo hasta Chihuahua
qué chido qué chido
piensa en obama y endereza la columna
y duerme, piensa, cuéntate un cuento
gracias
Yes We Can
Estás son las imágenes que no sé traducir a tu idioma. Cuando mi dices que hablo bien me pongo a pensar en las obviedades que todavía se me escapan. Igual y soy demasiado ingenuo. Estas trampas que tienden me son extraños. Imposibles de saber cuando se aproximan. De repente, estoy atrapado y no me puedo escapar. Son explicaciones que uno repite hasta el cansancio y que terminan confundiéndole a uno más que resolviéndole las dudas. Toda explicación tiene hoyos. Un colador de sueños.
(This is a reprint from the Catalogue of Feeling.)
An amalgamation of its own history, the youth of the West are left with consuming cool rather that creating it. The cultural zeitgeists of the past have always been sparked by furious indignation and are reactionary movements. But the hipster’s self-involved and isolated maintenance does nothing to feed cultural evolution.
But the writer seems to end up sounding like one of what founder of Vice Gavin McInnes calls those "chubby bloggers who aren’t getting laid anymore and are bored, and they’re just so mad at these young kids for going out and getting wasted and having fun and being fashionable.”

Top Five Reasons We Can't Rest Easy
1. The polls may be wrong. This is an unprecedented election. No one knows how racism may affect what voters tell pollsters—or what they do in the voting booth. And the polls are narrowing anyway. In the last few days, John McCain has gained ground in most national polls, as his campaign has gone even more negative.
2. Dirty tricks. Republicans are already illegally purging voters from the rolls in some states. They're whipping up hysteria over ACORN to justify more challenges to new voters. Misleading flyers about the voting process have started appearing in black neighborhoods. And of course, many counties still use unsecure voting machines.
3. October surprise. In politics, 15 days is a long time. The next McCain smear could dominate the news for a week. There could be a crisis with
4. Those who forget history... In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote after trailing by seven points in the final days of the race. In 1980, Reagan was eight points down in the polls in late October and came back to win. Races can shift—fast!
5. Landslide. Even with Barack Obama in the White House, passing universal health care and a new clean-energy policy is going to be hard. Insurance, drug and oil companies will fight us every step of the way. We need the kind of landslide that will give Barack a huge mandate.

One Reason for Intentionally Abstruse Language
The Soviets so discouraged work on small linguistic groups that in the 1960s, the first complete transcription of Svan — work that took at least 10 years to complete — simply went unpublished, said Anna V. Dybo, a Caucasian expert at the Russian Academy of Sciences. This dynamic continued after the breakup of the Soviet Union, and she recalled her horror at hearing Dzhokhar Dudayev, the Chechen leader, cite work from her institute in support of Chechen independence, during the build up to a bloody war with Russia. “At those moments, you feel like the inventor of the atom bomb,” Dr. Dybo said. She was so wary of her work being used politically, she added with some amusement, that she learned to write inn intentionally abstruse language, so that “no one knows what I’m talking about.”
