Subject: Gustavo Arellano

• First the Weekly, then the Times, then the World!

  It's embarrassing enough to the rest of us staffers that Gustavo Arellano's name appears on every other page. But now it's increasingly engulfing the LA "By God" Times, too. In his pop news column in Sunday's Calendar section,  Chris Lee had an item titled "Offspring's Dexter Holland dips into salsa," which we'd link you to were it not one of those Times pay-to-play dealies. (Give 'em a break; times is bad at Tribune Inc.) You'll recall, of course, Gustavo extolled the praises of that rot

• Congrats to Gustavo

  At 8 p.m. tonight--after only a single day in release, Gustavo Arellano's Ask A Mexican reached #165 in nationwide book sales on Amazon.com. What will the number fall to after Gustavo--who appeared on CNN with Paula Zahn this afternoon--ends his national TV, radio and bookstore tour? Could it reach the top 10?

• Weekly Story on Bishop Brown Pedophile Allegation Proven Right

Callahan predicted the "

• L.A. Times Story on Dexter Holland's Gringo Bandito

  The L.A. Times did a good piece today on Dexter Holland's Gringo Bandito hot sauce, which is, by the way, produced in O.C.  The article stated that the sauce is a success after its introduction in 2006, with 300 gallons of the stuff being bottled per month. But we shan't forget that at least some part of that is due to our own Gustavo Arellano, who gave his stamp of approval about when it debuted.

  The other day, while getting the website that mirrors your favorite OC alt.-weekly pub ready for ya'all, Clockworken noticed something interesting upon opening Gustavo Arellano's popular column !Ask a Mexican! (Special Cesar Chavez Edition). Along the top of the virtual page was a Google advertisement inside a rectangular box, but upon opening El Mex the copy inside changed. Gone were the previous product-hawking sites, which we can't recall at this moment due to a weekend spent swimming with a
