Re: OT - Politically Correct --------
I understand. Hmmm Just ask the US authorities to check the Antonio Banderas
visa... he is from Spain and I'm not sure if he is good people. I'm pretty
sure that he went to the USA just to marry with Melany to the the "green
card" and to get money. I doubt he could do something for the States. At
least he didn't make anything for Spain and he was living here for more than
30 years.
Related to other people coming from Spain... Pedro Almodovar... I suggest
shutdown first ask later... Penelope Cruz... too late she is well integrated
on the States... you can ask the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) at Atlanta to consider her as a mutant virus.... who else?... hmmm Oh
Yes!!!... If you see someone looking like Mr. Bean and is called Zapatero he
is our President... just take him into Guantanamo... nobody in Spain will
complain about it. :-DDD

visa... he is from Spain and I'm not sure if he is good people. I'm pretty
sure that he went to the USA just to marry with Melany to the the "green
card" and to get money. I doubt he could do something for the States. At
least he didn't make anything for Spain and he was living here for more than
30 years.
Related to other people coming from Spain... Pedro Almodovar... I suggest
shutdown first ask later... Penelope Cruz... too late she is well integrated
on the States... you can ask the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) at Atlanta to consider her as a mutant virus.... who else?... hmmm Oh
Yes!!!... If you see someone looking like Mr. Bean and is called Zapatero he
is our President... just take him into Guantanamo... nobody in Spain will
complain about it. :-DDD

Re: OT - Politically Correct --------
I understand the St. Patrick's Day being the Irish people biggest holiday...
Now what I can't figure out is why Columbus Day is a Italian holiday. All
people in Spain knows Colombus (Colon) was spanish.
Anyway Italians... Colon could be Italian but WE PAY THE TRIP.

Now what I can't figure out is why Columbus Day is a Italian holiday. All
people in Spain knows Colombus (Colon) was spanish.
Anyway Italians... Colon could be Italian but WE PAY THE TRIP.

Re: OT - Politically Correct --------
Yeah, my first day in Spain they told me, "Los dólares no tienen valor", but
they took my credit card OK. Don't be put off by "Doug" or his ilk. There
are people like him everywhere. We get lots of French, German, and English
tourists where I live, <www.silvertoncolorado.com>, but not that many
Spaniards. We wonder where they are. Some people think, that they may be
stand-offish and unwilling to go places, where their language is not spoken.
The Mexicans and Central Americans are not so picky. In fact, if you
watched the advertisements on Telemundo, Univision, or hTV, you would form
the opinion, that all they care about, is learning English. It is the
ticket to "la vida mejor", as one ad says. On the other hand, lots of
Anglos in my country are learning Spanish too.
I am not too worried about the Euro situation. I'll bet that I can buy a
lot more with a dollar in the U.S., than you can buy with a Euro in Spain.
The latinos that come into my country, legally or not, seem to like dollars
too. I am not an expert on economics, but I suspect that the Euro may be
over-valued.
The Mr. Bean comment cracks me up. Your previous president had a lot more
dress sense and better taylors, although I didn't care too much for his
politics.
