La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for May 31, 2011

You could pick worse.

Military life. Staring at a photo and wishing you were home.

A ship named for Cesar Chavez? What’s next, the U.S.S. Jane Fonda?

¡? ¡?¡?¡?¡?

Of course there’s a whole ‘nother angle here, given that it’s a cargo ship.. ‘Serving’ the fleet?

Go Cesar Chavez! You were a good man hated by many but still a good man!

cesar chavez put america first — unlike our members of congress, who all seem to put america second as they kowtow to a foreign ruler

My recollection is that after Chavez organized the table-grape pickers, the grape growers switched to wine grapes which are picked by machine, ending up with growth in California wines and a drop in grape-picking jobs. Meantime, the grapes in my refrigerator are from Chili.
