Bush Family and the Corrupt Mexican Rich

A story that the mainstream media has completely missed is the Bush family's 40 year long history of private dealings with some pretty odiferous powerbrokers from the Mexican elite. Only investigative reporter Julia Reynolds of the little bilingual Mexican-American literary mag El Andar has poked her nose into it. Maybe there's nothing more to it than what she's dredged up so far. Still, if nothing else, she's come up with some colorful Bushian anecdotes. http://www.isteve.com/2001_El_Andar_Bush.htm

Ali Alert: How in the world do you make the life of Muhammad Ali dull and depressing?

See my review.
