<p><strong>Dear Mexican: In President Bush’s State of the Union address, he reiterated a need for a guest worker program. What is your opinion of such a program? The program seems like mierda that screws people over in the long run to me, but what do I know. </strong><br>

<p><strong>Dear Mexican: Lately, I’ve noticed a few bands, como Voodoo Glow Skulls, have embraced ska music in both at home and in Mexico. I was curious what the appeal is for Mexicans to ska music? Also, if you had to turn people to Mexican ska, what would be your top five recommendations?</strong><br>

<p><strong>Dear Mexican: After a year in Spain, I speak more-than-decent Spanish, and I want to get a job in the non-profit field where I can put it to use and pursue social justice and all that. Thing is, my Spanish is pretty peninsular. I maintained my seseo, thank God, but I may let loose an “¿os vais ahora?” every so often, and people have told me I have un acento andaluz (¡mentira!). Are the Mexicans gonna laugh at me? Is this a totally neurotic fear? Love your column, by the way.</strong><br>

<p> The Mexican must take the week off because his home paper is publishing its annual Best Of issue—if the devil ever condemns you to visit Orange County, pick up the OC Weely! To honor our Best Of, here’s a doozy from 2006—if you’ve ever heard me lecture, you know of this infamous edición, which got a man in Oregon suspended from work without pay for racism AND sexual harassment because he read it there. Pinche PC pendejo Oregonians, I swear…anyhoo, enjoy!</p>

<p><strong>Dear Mexican: Why do so many Chicanos claim to be Aztec?</strong><br>
