Mothers of Invention

It's Women's History Month, again. What's there to celebrate: The "Cuernos Sisterhood"? Lip plumpers?

Ask a Mexican Answers

Gustavo Arellano reacts to my machismo comment (see Ask a Mexican post below) by sending this link to a column he did on the subject a while back.
Soon I'll be blogging on the subject of Latino comedians' penchant for vulgar and sexist humor--not to mention stereotyping our own gente. Not funny, amigos...

Ask a Mexican

Gustavo Arellano tries to explain Mexicans to gabachos in his weekly Ask a Mexican column in the Orange County Weekly. His answers to readers' letters are witty, outrageous, clever and quite intelligent most of the time, but too often his machismo rears its ugly head and ruins the whole thing. A book of his columns is coming out May 1 (Ask a Mexican, Simon & Schuster, $20 hardcover).
