He asked for his privacy to be respected and said that his personal struggle should not taint the committment that so many priests [...]

Today is the birthday of one of Babalu’s contributors. He’s a photo-taking, case-trying, constitution-defending, liberal-loathing, infidel-calling, cigar-smoking, say-what-he’s thinking, guitar-playing, helpful guy and today he is one year older. Happy Birthday to Cigar Mike. Qué lo pases bien, chico.

After watching the past three days of pre-inaugural coverage, today I couldn't bring myself to watch Obama get sworn in. I was full. I watched all the interviews with the men and women on the street, listened to how historic an occasion this was, and caught all the sound bites. But when [...]

Oh Yes, PeCan.

Even though uber-liberals Ben & Jerry sold their company, the new owners are keeping up the tradition. They have unveiled their new flavor in honor of Obama: "Yes Pecan."
Read all about it, if you can stomach it.
I think I'll stick with Chubby Hubby.

I came across this new blog, PInk Elephant Pundit, by Tabitha Hale who touts herself as "Unapologetically Christian and Conservative." She has some good thoughts on politics and she's funny, too. In one of her posts she says she judges people based on their opinion of Nancy Pelosi- how can you not appreciate that?
But [...]

to root for the Eagles!
I was rooting for the Dolphins, guys, I really was. I was so impressed with what they did this year. But since they're out, I would like to invite Dolphin fans to jump on the Eagles bandwagon- even George. We need all the help we can get. Do it for [...]

My niece is moving to Argentina in a few months and during her last visit in October, she snapped this photo of a wall with che's face and a great slogan. It says "Por amor, usa preservativo, " advocating the use of condoms, using che's face as a consequence of not using them, perhaps?
How [...]

I have pointed out the various marketing ideas to make money off of Obama: sneakers, fingernail stickers, cookies... but just now in my email box I got an offer to buy this item. This is the height of insanity:

Yes, It's a soap mold of Obama's face. Now, I like to make handmade soaps for [...]

You know, years ago some friends in Peru told me that at the height of Michael Jackson's fame, parents in Peru were naming their children "Michael Jackson Suárez," etc. I sure thought THAT was funny but tonight, reading the LA Times account of people everywhere from the US to Brazil to Romania naming their [...]

Today one of our Babalu colleagues celebrates his birthday. Classified information regulations prohibit me from posting the actual number, but let's just say he ain't no baby.
Felicidades, Alberto, en tu día que lo pases con sana alegría muchos años de paz y armonía felicidad, felicidad, felicidad.
Yep, nothing like public embarrassment to end a [...]

Marlen González of channel 41 Miami interviewed Benicio del Toro about his movie, "Che," and asked him point blank why the "real che" was not shown. Del Toro simply could not answer and became visibly agitated, squirming and asking for a quote to be repeated. She came right out and asked him if [...]

I sure am glad that all this Obama merchandise is available because I definitely missed the boat when all the Bush sneakers, skateboards, nail art and paper dolls were being sold in 2000 and 2004.

Che is even more jealous now, because not only did his face never grace the fingernails of rappers, but in hell [...]

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted and proclaimed First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration was created by Mrs. Roosevelt, a pioneer of human rights, to ensure that everyone in every country, but specifically those who signed it, had dignity, freedom, justice and peace.
It took 60 years for [...]

Obama cookies? Yep. The only thing on a Thanksgiving table I can guarantee you I won't eat.
By the way, only $59.50 for 16 cookies. What a bargain.
