Like Diogenes,who walked the streets with a lighted lantern looking for an honest man, I continue to walk the virtual streets of American television, channel clicker in hand, flipping from one "news" show to the next trying to find an honest Talking Head. There aren't any.

One day Paula Zahn's earpiece is going to fall out at the same inopportune moment that her Teleprompter quits working and America is going to see her come to a dead stop, like an unplugged electric clock.

Channel by channel, you can find her archtype: Skinny white woman, usually blonde, with that uniform helmet-like shoulder-length, staight hair to cameo her face. Ever cheerful and oh-so cosmopolitan, she could be doing tampon commercials or interviewing heads of state, it's all the same. What ever they tell her to do, it comes into her ear and out her mouth.

But guess what. It's not working any more. When there was one Paula Zahn, it was a novelty. Now there are perhaps as many as fifty Paula Zahns, eight for each broadcast and cable news outlet, and a dozen or more on Fox. Flip the channels and see for yourself.

Vacuous helmet-head white women on every channel, their heads as empty as dry gourds, mouthing crap that's fed to them by earpiece and Teleprompter.

The marketing execs "Focus Grouped" the on-air talent and found that the Great American Dumbass wants to receive their daily dose of bullshit from a Paula Zahn.

But the cognitive dissonance suffered by viewers will no longer be ignored. The news is bad on all fronts. No matter how they try to sugarcoat it, no matter how they try to maintain the status quo with Paula Zahns, the Great American Dumbass is starting to feel like he's up to his neck in shit, and it's rising.

Xaime and cgkey, get your sorry asses down into the hills of Morelia with AK 47s and some Chinese RPGs. Attack D.F., the seat of power for the ruling oligarchy that has used the campesinos as slaves since the first revolution. Drive out Vincente Fox. Go after the 19 ruling billionaire families who control the Mexican government and keep the the people so close to starvation that they have to migrate out of their own land to seek a better life.

What the hell are you doing here anyway? The Mexicans who made it to the U.S. don't need you half as bad as the poor people of Mexico. If you really want to start a movement, don't screw around, go to the source of the "undocumented immigrant" problem. Bring the ruling class Brahmans of Mexico to their knees. Viva la gente! Viva la revolución.

You want to form a union and have a strike? Hey! I'm behind you all the way. Only do it in Mexico City and Veracruz. Viva la Huelga! Mexican workers united against the oppressive oligarchy in Ciudad Mexico.

I can see you cabrones ten years from now, running the country of Mexico, they will write books about the day you rode up the Paseo de la Reforma on top of a captured tank and how you climbed the Columna de la Independencia and gave a speech through a bullhorn, "Levantarse patriotas!"

And you'll be celebrated in the United States too. The greatest reverse migration in the history of the world! Mexicans returned to reclaim their native land from the grip of the oligarchic oppressors.

Few people willingly become expatriots when things are good at home. So I'll join with you in support of the idea that the Mexican government who forces its people to live abroad and send money home so their families may eat, is a government that has to be dissolved for the good of the people.

But I guess that'd be too much work for you, and it would be dangerous too. I'd say if you tried it, your chances would be the same as towing an iceberg to Guadalajara. (Sigh) But I guess you'll just stay here in Atzlan Norte where it's safe and you can bitch about how racist and how evil America is for wanting to exercise sovereignty and secure our borders.

Still waiting for an answer, putas!
