Grammy winner, Oscar holder, and breast cancer survivor-among other things, Rocker Melissa Etheridge, brought her music and talent to San Diego County tonight. Much emphasis has been put on Etheridge's passionate voice and lyrics and often her talent as a guitar player is overlooked. Tonight she mixed some of her 80s and 90s hits with new material, showing why she still rocks the house.

MCCAIN AND HIS ACE UNDER THE TABLE

MCCAIN, you've been a bad, bad boy. To pick a woman for your running mate. "What a move" you might be thinking. Well just like any man should be qualified to do the job, so applies for any woman. Alaska's governor might just be fine running "the last frontier" state, however, in her two years governing, has she been able to end the highest rates of drunkenness and drug abuse in her state? Has she been able to bring to the 100s of small islands that compose her state, ways other than alcohol and drugs to cope with isolation, among other maladies? What is she going to teach Americans, how to hunt moose?
It's true that unless you are Dick Cheney running the show, who cares who the V.P. is? In picking a 44-year-old woman as his running mate, McCain keeps alive Alaska's tradition where often older men marry much younger women, sometimes even minors, all under the complacency of law enforcement and the general population.
The move seems perfectly calculated but, will Americans fall for it?
McCain, you've been a bad, bad, boy.

EQUALITY, NOT YET!

It’s been 236 years of males in the White House, regardless of skin color. Let’s not forget that women had to wait 50 years to vote after black males were allowed to do so. Let’s not forget that women rights activists such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton not only fought for women’s rights but also fought slavery, and at the end had to sit on the back of the bus (so to speak) leaving their own dreams and aspirations behind.
Obama winning the democratic nomination only perpetuates that male dominance,and in many ways will be more of the same.
Hillary, however, has shown the team player she is by releasing her delegates and calling her followers to support Obama, despite having been portrayed as the opposite by the media.
So, here we go again. See you in 2058.

If you like flamenco guitars, passionate voices and good lyrics, Gypsy Kings is for you. Forget about the language barrier, their music will transport you not only to the old continent but to older times. By the way Flamenco is a music that never gets old, never goes out of style.

OLYMPIC GOLD: THE ICING ON THE CAKE

Rafa Nadal debuted as Number 1 this morning, ending almost 5 years of Roger Federer's reign. The Spaniard is at his peak and the icing on the cake was his Gold Medal collected yesterday in China, at the Olympics.

AQUA-MAN AND THE REST OF US

It's that time again, The Olympic Games, when everybody feels competitive, even if that means to stretch a little longer to reach the remote, to grab the beer, or to bite the pizza.
Regardless, everyone at home feels that Phelps is part of their family, his gold medals and achievements theirs, too.
Don't worry, the mood's usually over a couple days after the games are done. Then people again place the remote closer, the beer at hand, and eat tons of pizza.

I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN...

Back in the 90's Bill Clinton sworn to Americans and the world he did not have sex with Monica, just to later on clarified that he didn't consider oral sex, well, SEX.
Now comes John Edwards -isn't he cute? to tell us (America and the world) that even though he did have sex with Rielle, he doesn't love her.
The problem here is not the affair, the infidelity (both wives apparently decided to put up with their men)
The problem is the hypocrisy, the need for lies. Why can we all agree and respect the fact that relationships come and go, and that people -men and women, are not necessarily monogamous? That an affair doesn't necessarily -always, means the end of a strong relationship, of a marriage?
Now the right wing and the Republican Party will have what John McCain hasn't been able to deliver in the past months: Enough material for gossipping and back-stabbing the Democrats for the rest of the election season.

THE CROWD BEGGED FOR IT...AND HE DELIVERED!!!

Vamos Rafa!!!
It's official, Rafa Nadal is the new king of Tennis.
The Spaniard climbed to number one today, as he battled a feisty Ecuadorian, Nicolas Lappenti, en route to tomorrow's semifinals at Cincinnati against a very hungry for glory, number three, Novak Djokovic.
Either way, Nadal has written history today after snatching the Number One Rank from Federer's hands. An Odyssey that took over four years and a Rafa Nadal to make it possible.
VAMOS RAFA!!!
