Uninspired and punched at Traffic Court.
As a relatively new voter, I do not have a preference for any political party. I am an NPP (No Party Preference). Even though I recognize the good in both Republicans and Democrats, I am bored with their constant fighting and I am not attracted enough to be part of either one of them. Since … More No Party Preference – But Still Standing Up for Something

We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community… Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.

Give Mirkarimi Another Chance.
The Ross Mirkarimi article in the SF Chronicle published Sunday is, at times, good reporting; but it often feels like the writers have already made up their mind and therefore their writing shows a hint of partiality. In my opinion of the whole Mirkarimi’s “rise and fall” – not just the actual incident but the … More Give Mirkarimi Another Chance

When East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. (Connecticut) made derogative remarks towards Latino food, he didn’t think what “Not a Foodie” he is. My preppy-self was offended by his assumption that Tacos are the only food Latinos eat.
I would love the opportunity to educate the Mayor and help him become international cuisine connaisseur.
“Mr. Maturo”, I would say “Would you be kind next time, when referring to Latin American cuisine, to mention Chiles en Nogada
( stuffed poblano chiles, covered with a creamy walnut sauce), Cochinita Pibil, or any of the other quite frankly sophisticated daily meals we Mexicans and Latinos often eat?.”
Otherwise, you will be seen as ignorant and definitely, not a Foddie
FYI – Mayor Maturo apologized for his remarks, after many leaders including Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy criticized him for his cultural insensitivity. The governor said that Maturo’s comment was “repugnant” and “unacceptable.”
