This is much more effective than sticking flowers in their guns! Who wants to eat flowers?

My other half of my double major was in history (which I rarely admit), specifically in Latin American History. Even to this day I can't get all of the revolutions, revolts and political overthrows assigned to their right county. Latin American politics make me feel like I'm watching a schizophrenic person on meth.

@CurtCole: I'm a Latin American studies major, and I do pretty decently with general descriptions of most things, but if you want specific names and years then I need to consult my textbooks, please. The thing is that there's just sooooo much and it's very interconnected and there's many similarities but just enough differences and ugh.

And now I need to go work on my thesis.

Honestly I feel for this lady because everybody in Honduras knows she and her husband didnt live together and he has many mistresses (including members of his govt). So honestly I cringe when she declares her love for him and how they should be reunited as a family..

Oh, right, the daughter of the President who suddenly finds herself a revolutionary fighter, standing up for the "people" after her and her entire family wasted that very people's money on the whims on a stupid, selfish man who decided to be 'for the people' only when it could be profitable for him. And this stupid, stupid girl who went to school flashing her Louis Vuitton bags and thousand Lempira cellphones and shoes while two blocks away the people her father was supposed to be helping starved and held on the vague promises he made. I know. I saw her. I knew her entire family and saw them waste millions on their whims. They're not revolutionaries. They're bloodsuckers.

What happened to her father was wrong, yes, but don't you dare try to paint this girl as a heroine for the people. It's disgusting and ignorant and it makes me incredibly angry.

Sometimes you're sitting around in your un-air-conditioned apartment in Big City America, stricken with writer's block and a freelance deadline hanging precipitously over your head, feeling bad for yourself, and then you see something like this and it smacks you upside the head and tells you to stop being a whiny bitch-ass.

Buena suerte, Xiomara.

@LucilleMcGillicuddy: It's not urge, as in the english sense. Urgir is the root verb, which literally means "to be urgent". This is a difficult phrase to translate into english - but I would say something akin to "Hurry, Mel". The text at the bottom says "The people need you, the world supports you".

@Raederle: And our imaginary picnic! We are eating imaginary baleadas and chicharrones. Que rica!

When we are finished eating, we will resolve the political crisis with a game of tic-tac-toe. Then we will take a short nap.
