A UFO spotted, and videotaped, above Mexico is according to investigators some sort of flying humanoid figure:

The mysterious woman-like figure was caught on camera as it hovered above mountains in Nuevo Leon city. UFO watchers said the figure appeared to be wearing a cape leading to claims that it was a witch or wizard when it was first seen in 2006. Now Mexico’s leading Ufologist Anna Luisa Cid says the sightings were true after carrying out her own investigations.

Looks like a dude on a jetpack to me, but maybe I’m just not thinking out of the box.

It’s been 13 years coming, but Connor Oberst will finally be releasing another solo album. The Bright Eyes front man teamed up with long time friend/engineer Andy LeMaster in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México (a mysterious city known for Aztec Magic among other strange phenomenons) to record the self-titled release, set to hit stores August 5th 2008, according to Merge Records…

Mexican emo kids apparently have something to cry about, as they have been victimized by a bizarre wave of emo-bashings, inspired in part by a popular TV personality’s on-air anti-emo tirade. From LA Weekly blogger Daniel Hernandez:

In Mexico, emo culture is a butt of many jokes. It is either despised intensely or generally ignored. But it’s only the despising sentiment that lately has been getting wide airply. In the above clip, a Televisa on-air personality named Kristoff expresses a serious dose of anti-emo rhetoric and switches to English to say, on network television, “Fucking bullshit” to the emo movement. Some emos I’ve interviewed point to the Kristoff clip as a defining provocation of the current wave of anti-emo violence.

The aggressors responsible for emo attacks in Mexico City, Queretaro and elsewhere come from different subcultures, with differing reasons for their shared hate:

Anger against the emos has come from many quarters: punks and goths who think emos are ripping off their culture, homophobes who don’t find emos masculine enough, and those who simply seem threatened by a group that is so different than the mainstream.

But Mexican emos aren’t taking this shit lying down. They’ve organized marches and protests to bring attention to their plight:

Emos have begun to fight back, organizing marches in Guadalajara and Mexico City. And voices have begun appearing warning of a creeping intolerance in Mexican society. Gilberto Rincan Gallardo, a columnist for the El Porvenir newspaper, argued this week that tolerance is the foundation of any healthy democracy. “If a group of young people like (emos) decides to get together and live life in a certain manner, and doesn’t hurt others, it’s the obligation of the Democratic state to protect them…It’s easy for an eccentric and easily identified minority group to be stigmatized and discriminated against…It’s the responsibility of the authorities to make sure the threats aren’t carried out and the aggressions are punished.”

All I have to say is:

Dear Mexico,

If you don’t want your emos, please send them here. Especially the girls.

Thanks,

America

Better known as Matt, but there’s too many Matt’s here so we just call him Fletch.

Fletch likes to party and recently just got back from Rosarito for Spring Break where he drank the mysterious rattlesnake tequila:

Says he…

“it’s a diffrent kind of drunk, like you’ve been poisiond, and then you realize you have. my shot had a scale in it. It tasted like old meat”

What’d you do after?

“ran around like we were on fire, tried to talk to some girls, but I think they were 12. So we went to a taco stand and drank a 5 dollar beer”

Aside from partying in Rosarito, Fletch also likes to host spoon parties, dress in suits that are too snug, and make random songs about ham (?).

I think it’s safe to say we found someone crazy enough to rock the groundhog suit for next year’s groundhog day crawl. It’s going to be tough to top me, though…

From Daily Kos:

This Florida based Gulfstream II jet aircraft # N987SA crash landed on September 24, 2007 after it ran out of fuel over Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula it had a cargo of several tons of Cocaine on board now documents have turned up on both sides of the Atlantic that link this Cocaine Smuggling Gulfstream II jet aircraft # N987SA that crashed in Mexico to the CIA who used it on at least 3 rendition flights from Europe and the USA to Guantanamo’s infamous torture chambers between 2003 to 2005.

Question, so now that it is out in the open that the war in drugs is nothing but a sham (and has been, um, since the beginning). Who is going to go to jail for this incident? And when are they going to let out the hundreds of thousands of people who fill our prisons for selling drugs? In reality, good ole USA street slangin’ wouldn’t haven’t been possible without the CIA’s successful attempts to flood our country full of mind numbing narcotics and create a generation of addicts.

Another question, why do we pay our taxes? was our tax money used to fly this jet?

I’m not guilty. *You’re* the one that’s guilty. The lawmakers, the politicians, the Columbian drug lords, all you who lobby against making drugs legal. Just like you did with alcohol during the prohibition. You’re the one who’s guilty. I mean, c’mon, let’s kick the ballistics here: Ain’t no Uzi’s made in Harlem. Not one of us in here owns a poppy field. This thing is bigger than Nino Brown. This is big business. This is the American way.

Wake up!

And totally peed on that shit.

Perhaps she may find it worth while to squander all her money on blow, remove her breast implants and spend some time in a Mexican library.

Who else has a slight hunch that night vision Tila Tequila porn may be surfacing on the web any second now?
