Hola.

I just got back to Mexico (or, as we say in Mexico, "home") and have lots to blog. Christopher Hitchens has distracted me, however, for the moment. Read this: http://slate.msn.com/id/2086499/ (I have yet to download the thing that blogger has come up with for Mac users, so no hyperlinks).

While watching a Bob Hope memorial bit on the TV with my dad, I remarked that it didn't seem to take much to get the soldiers of old to laugh. He observed that war was rarely funny, and that even Bob Hope could pass for humorous. I noted that he (my dad) was confined to a rather small ship and was, therefore, more starved than most for entertainment.

Fuck Bob Hope (not that I wish to speak ill of the dead, mind you).
