<p>We’ve got to stop cutting public education.</p>
<p>To ease the budget crisis, one state after another is taking an ax to higher education.</p>
<p>This is cruel and shortsighted.</p>
<p>Cruel because it denies students the right to a decent education. Shortsighted because how will this generation of students get prepared to compete globally or even to clean up the financial mess brought about by Wall Street?</p>

<p> El Día de Acción de Gracias es un feriado netamente norteamericano. Un día dedicado a dar gracias por las bendciones recibidas durante el año. Es el único feriado en el calendario que no se ha comercializado, que no tiene raíces paganas y el cual lo pueden celebrar todas las religiones que conviven en esta gran nación.</p>

<p> We need to wipe out hunger in America. It’s a sin that it not only exists but is actually increasing in the richest nation on Earth.</p>
<p> Tens of millions of Americans are unable to feed their families. Because of widespread poverty, they simply cannot afford adequate nutrition. With the current recession and crippling joblessness, this is a crisis that requires our immediate attention.</p>

<p> Elected officials’ religious views should be their own private affair, neither imposed by them upon the nation, nor imposed by the nation as condition to holding public office. This means their private religious views should not be imposed via the current debate over health care reform.</p>

<p> Un nuevo romance político empieza a entretejerse en la política norteamericana. No es la relación amorosa entre el político y la estudiante universitaria, ni mucho menos es un escándalo sexual que endulza las cámaras de los paparazzis y el micrófono de los chismosos de la televisión y la radio.</p>

A recent study released by the State of California tallies the total cost of regulation to business in the State of California at almost 493 billion dollars per year—“almost five times the State’s general fund budget, and almost a third of the State’s gross product.” The result: a loss of approximately 3.8 million jobs due to overregulation, contributing to California’s 10.5 percent unemployment rate which as of early November 2009 became equivalent to federal levels.</p>

<strong> Dear Mexican: Why oh why do most Mexican women cut their long, black hair after reaching the pivotal age of 40? Not only do they cut it, but they then proceed to cut it short and dye it all shades of the most unnatural hair color for Mexicans: red. My own madre is guilty of this offense and I see it on all the older women of SanTana! Why is this the case? Why do women in Mexico tend keep their long flowing hair and trencitas while women here in the States go for the Bozo look? Please help me with this!</strong></p>
