Vasquez Sounds: El Talento Musical de Mexicali Lanzó a la Fama por el Video

Los lectores disculpen la torpe español. Esto se traduce del Inglés con Google. Recuerdo la mañana del viernes, cuando he publicado sobre los 10 años de edad, la cantante Angie Vásquez y sus hermanos? Su video musical les ha hecho la mayor sensación en Internet. El video ha recibido casi 6 millones de visitas, y […]

Hippie Weeps for #OccupyToronto: ‘We Just Want to Try and Build a New World’

Ace said dreadfully insensitive things about this pathetic Occupier’s sorrow over the loss of their squalid tent city. He has become to the Occupy movement what Chris Crocker was to Britney Spears: “I spent the last three weeks building this library into a place where people could come together, where they can just share ideas, […]

Incredible 10-Year-Old Mexican Singer Rocks the World With Music Video

Somebody sent me the video, which already has more than 5 million views, and I frankly couldn’t believe a 10-year-old could sing like this, but evidently it’s legit: Angie Vazquez and her band, Los Vazquez Sounds, have people all over buzzing about their cover of Adele‘s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ — 1.16 million to be […]

Afghanistan/Pakistan Points So Glaringly Obvious, They Got Zero Mention During The GOP Foreign Policy Debate

by Smitty The GOP foreign policy debate was generally good. While disagreeing with Ron Paul’s non-interventionist approach, even he brings a valid viewpoint to the discussion. I’ll summarize it thusly: “No matter what we do overseas, we do a crappy job of reconciling our policy with our Constitution and purported Founding ideals.” Yet Paul, as […]

Updated: Irish WTF? VIDEO: Notwithstanding Daniel Hannan, Is Nigel Farage The Only Man In Brussels With Hair #1?

by Smitty Via Tyler Durden: Now that he has been proven correct, he has every right to gloat, which he does to everyone’s delightful amusement in the European parliament. The look on the unelected von Rompuy’s face, especially as he watches his decade-long bureaucratic nirvana crash and burn every single day, quite priceless. As I […]

Old And Busted: Nobel Peace Prize.
The New Hotness: Confucian Peace Prize

by Smitty In Vladimir style, he wakes up one morning with a prize so cool that neither Jimmy Carter, nor St. Albert of Gore, nor even the vaunted #OccupyResoluteDesk have one: After two wars in Chechnya, one conflict in South Ossetia and two of the deadliest hostage relief operations in modern history, the former KGB […]
