• LAFF 2007: Lost Girls and Mighty Black Men

  One of the ideas the festival is heavily pushing this year is that for every movie you attend that you planned on seeing, you should go to another one you don’t know anything about, or might not be inclined to go to normally. I tend to do this sometimes when I attend something simply because it’s playing at the right time, and thus found myself in BAJO JUAREZ, a movie with the all-lowercase secondary title of “the city devouring its daughters.” It’s a documentary about Juarez, a Mexi

• Yet Another Reason Why KFI Sucks, Part Two: The Final Insult

  Last July, I blogged about Coast to Coast AM disc jockey Art Bell's sudden departure from the airwaves when he disappeared to the Phillipines and emerged, just a few weeks later, as the proud husband of a girl just barely out of her teens. After a brief hiatus, Bell returned to host the show on weekends. I complained that Bell's replacement, the silky-tongued George Noory (who seems like an incredibly nice guy and always greets callers with "Hiya!") sucked so bad KFI should consider bringing rig

• The Truth About Glenn Spencer

  *Updated, with grammatical erros bolded The last time I saw Glenn Spencer (founder of the frothingly anti-immigrant American Patrol), the portly man was sporting a huge smile as a race riot erupted around him. The occasion was a Dec. 8, 2001 rally in front of Anaheim City Hall, where Spencer and his amigos were decrying the Anaheim Police Department’s policy to accept Mexican-government-issued identification cards as proper ID for illegal immigrants. Anarchists counter-protested Spencer's i

• Is The Mexican Consulate Crumbling Under New Leadership?

  For months we've had a sneaking suspicion that the new Mexican consul in Santa Ana was working hard to transform the consulate from the effective, outreach-heavy post it once was under wildly popular former consul Luis Miguel Ortiz Haro to a mere prop of elitist Mexican puffery. Many have whispered that the consulate has taken a turn for the worst under the direction of new consul Carlos Rodríguez y Quezada and his sidekick Manuel Herrera, the deputy consul who clashed with Ortiz Haro on numero

• Blast from the Past: Another Connection Between Anti-Semitic KPFK Host and La Voz de Aztlan

  Perhaps the best exposé on the Jew-bashing, gay-trashing website La Voz de Aztlan was published in 2002 by the now-defunct New Times Los Angeles. This is where we got the information that sole writer Hector Carreon (last name has Jewish roots) worked in Buena Park. The article hasn't existed online for years, however, mysteriously scrubbed away from the grasp of Google and even the mighty Lexis-Nexis database--until now. Following the jump is the article in its entirety, written by Tony Ortega,

• Vicente Fox UCI Visit Draws "Welcoming Committee"

  Photo by Ariel Gutierrez Vivanco/Presidencia de la RepublicaThe "Vicente Fox Welcoming Committee at UCI" won't be bearing flowers, fruit baskets or a key to the university when Mexico's former president visits the campus Wednesday. Fox, who is being hosted by the university's Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD), gives a public lecture 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Irvine Barclay Theatre. An invitation-only reception and $500 a plate dinner are also scheduled."Students at UC-Irvine in Orange County

• Not Much of a 'Welcoming Committee' for Vicente Fox

  If the three people standing outside Irvine Barclay Theater late this afternoon represented the "Vicente Fox Welcoming Committee at UCI," the committee that has not forgotten Chiapas, Atenco, and Oaxaca, the committee that "opposes Fox and other oppressors wherever they show their faces," the committee that felt there was "a good chance" that they would "be arrested or suspended" because OC is, after all, "a hostile community," well, they weren't much of a committee, sub-committee

  John Robert Bolton, the neocon's neocon, laps up the hosannas of fellow knuckle-draggers May 28 when he is the special guest of the World Affairs Council of Orange County. The nonprofit, 500-member council--which since its 1967 founding has hosted Prince Andrew, Vicente Fox, Hans Blix and several other international newsmakers--expects 250 to turn out for Bolton and his moustache tormenting the wait staff at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.Bolton has been employed by several Republican pres
