And then I'll shut up.
I'm going to go to a lunch today with a certain daughter of a certain President. Me and lots of others, mind you. And there will be a lot going on, and a lot of really fantastic kids being helped, so I won't be asking her about her upcoming wedding or her fave Chuy's marg flavor. At least, I probably won't.
Then, after that, I'm going to vote. Because in Texas we can vote early this week, and I'm already hearing that the lines for early voting are super long, so I can't even imagine what it's going to be like next Tuesday.
Because a lot of people are paying attention this time. We've seen all 20 debates. And read all the issues. And taken the quiz on our perfect match. Of course we all have.
And I thought I knew my choice.
But then I saw this site and the video it features.
And I love it. Because it's so how it is.
Really, this is how we really roll down here. Walk down any street. Odds are you'll be greeted by any number of matching-outfit mariachi bands singing about whatever is on their minds. Our city streets are basically mariachi operas. Really. Sometimes we even ride our horses and shoot our guns in the air. Like we just don't care. All the while keeping perfect time on our guitars and maintaining perfectly styled necktie bows.
So, not totally because of this kooky ad. But kinda. And also for about 105 other reasons, in this time and in this election, I'm saying Viva Obama con Queso! Si se puede!

You have mariachi bands on your street corners? I'm moving to Texas. We have a guy who looks like Jabba the Hut on our street corner who sometimes growls when I walk by... hmmm that just doesn't seem as good as a mariachi band.
My first comment ever to say that I really dig you AND your choice of candidate! Viva Obama! Indeed!
oh my god, i love this post! you crack me up. si, se puede! i think you guys are going to lock this thing up on tuesday.
That is so how it is! My daughter plays in a mariachi band too! Mind you, she's half-cajun, half-chinese; this so very Texas :)
Now, about those large hats they're sporting ...
I'm so glad you people have my back on the mariachi operas that are filling our streets. Something must be done. It makes it very difficult to ride to work on my horse while roping cows and playing the banjo and spitting. It's hard out there for a tejano.
I love this post...
Thanks for finding this video!! Awesome. And hilarious.
This is too funny! My only problem is that I feel like no one really pays that much attention to Latinos until they need votes. Am I jaded?
