Umm, isn’t this the same guy in the ‘topless’ article below?
Awhhhh Lynn!!!! That is so beneath you. How can I look up to you when you post in the gutter?
Billiary will be Pres in 2016. Neither want to run or actually do the job after two lifetimes in politics but they want the Historical Footnote.
All is Vanity.
Women got the vote 50+ years after black men, so I think we will not have our first woman president for another 50 years.
Lynn–you have to read every word, every letter. Billiary is not a woman===its a TEAM! Just like Barack==half white half black. We will wait a long time before an angry fully black man ever becomes Presnedent! Same with the wimen. First we elect a hybrid.
This is how hoomans change over time==slowly, in fits/starts half measures and compromises. Really–for a sociologist, you should be leading this kazoo band.
I, for one, eagerly look forward to voting for a male/female hybrid. (I read a science fiction novel that offered this as a solution to sexism, many years ago.)
I guess strictly speaking we are all products of male/female hybridization. Like Ligers, you know? Except that we still keep coming out as male or female.
We all start out as female in the womb but then a chromosome makes some of us a dick and we pop out as a male creature.
Asimov wrote a book I liked. Male and Female worker ants became unconscious and melded to form An Adult who ruled their world and made all the decisions. That was background, the problem was their universes energy was leaking into ours and then… I forget what.
We come pretty close to hybrids with transgenders who have both sex organs and are bisexual. I think they all choose to lop off the dangling bits. Makes riding bicycles easier.
So, none of you lot know anything about Julian Castro, eh?
Not a thing.
Aufklären.
Isn’t it obvious?
Castro was born in San Antonio on September 16, 1974. He is the identical twin brother of Joaquín Castro, both graduates from Thomas Jefferson High School (San Antonio, TX). He graduated in 1996 from Stanford University, majoring in political science and communications. He said he began thinking about entering politics while at Stanford. He later graduated from Harvard Law School. His brother graduated from both schools with him.
A Harvard Law School graduate with an identical twin that also attended the same schools.
The perfect candidate for President.
Two for the price of one.
I thought Castro was a communist? When are we ever going to learn?
I estimate humans will evolve into an intelligent species within 11 million years, give or take a million.
You’re such a tease.
Well, he’s good lookin’. Smart. A Democrat. But all that is not enough to make me stick to my NO NEW TEXANS pledge.
LBJ and two Bushes was enough!
Amen.
Well, would be the time to reinstate my grandmother’s dog naming. She typically named her dogs Castro. (Not just a jab, true story).
On another note: Obama have ruined this election track for generation(s). We won’t have young and charismatic President for decades, no matter if on racial, left, right or any other track.
You can always vote for me. I am older than the universe.
Castro for President!
This will go over well in Miami
He looks like a good politician to me. I don’t trust him one bit judging by the photo and that’s enough to win.
I’d take Marco Rubio instead any day, this dude is a liberal.
If we pick his name out of hat, I’m for it.
If he’s running for the job, screw him.
Quran
33:1 O Prophet! Keep thy duty to Allah and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise. Don’t obey disbelievers.
33:2 And follow that which is inspired in thee from thy Lord. Lo! Allah is Aware of what ye do.
33:3 And put thy trust in Allah, for Allah is sufficient as Trustee.
33:4 Allah hath not assigned unto any man two hearts within his body, nor hath He made your wives whom ye declare (to be your mothers) your mothers, nor hath He made those whom ye claim (to be your sons) your sons. This is but a saying of your mouths. But Allah saith the truth and He showeth the way.
33:5 Proclaim their real parentage. That will be more equitable in the sight of Allah. And if ye know not their fathers, then (they are) your brethren in the faith, and your clients. And there is no sin for you in the mistakes that ye make unintentionally, but what your hearts purpose (that will be a sin for you). Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
33:6 The Prophet is closer to the believers than their selves, and his wives are (as) their mothers. And the owners of kinship are closer one to another in the ordinance of Allah than (other) believers and the fugitives (who fled from Mecca), except that ye should do kindness to your friends. This is written in the Book (of nature).
33:7 And when We exacted a covenant from the prophets, and from thee (O Muhammad) and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus son of Mary. We took from them a solemn covenant;
33:8 That He may ask the loyal of their loyalty. And He hath prepared a painful doom for the unfaithful.
33:9 O ye who believe! Remember Allah’s favour unto you when there came against you hosts, and We sent against them a great wind and hosts ye could not see. And Allah is ever Seer of what ye do.
Allah and Yahweh are One.
And your point is?
If Obama had problems with Hussein in his name, immagine the fodder this guy is going to face in 2016 if he chooses to run…
This should go into the Red Book of Prophecy.
Julian Castro (and his identical twin brother) will be a candidate for President.
poƃ said,
(and his identical twin brother)
lol
I smell some shenanigans.
The Hispanic population in Texas will be the majority if they are not already.
The Texas pioneers stole the land from the Mexicans fair and square; now the Mexicans are stealing it back fair and square.
The irony of it all.
In March 2010, Mayor Castro joined executives from Google and Twitter in being named to the World Economic Forum’s list of Young Global Leaders. Later that year, Time magazine placed him on its “40 under 40” list of rising stars in American politics. Mayor Castro also serves on the board of directors of the National League of Cities, is a member of the Inter-American Dialogue and is an Aspen-Rodel Fellow. In addition to his community service, Mayor Castro has taught courses at The University of Texas at San Antonio, Trinity University, and St. Mary’s University.
Mayor Castro earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University with honors and distinction in 1996 and a juris doctorate from Harvard Law School in 2000. In 2001, at the age of 26, Castro became the youngest elected city councilman at that time in San Antonio history.
He is married to Erica Lira Castro, an elementary school teacher, and they are the proud parents of Carina, born in 2009.
Mayor Castro’s brother, Joaquin, serves in the Texas House of Representatives.
These brothers are groomed and ready for politics.
They are rising stars just like Barack Obama was in Illinois.
Now if we can get the media machine behind them, it’s all over except the counting of the votes.
Do you see the mixture of ethnicity in the web pictures? I see some Latin but… I don’t wan’t to be called racist on this blog. Can’t comment further.
OK with me. Bush and Obama proved ANYBODY can buy the lease on the White House, it is an equal opportunity lease after all.
How can this young guy do worse?
That is a question that should never be asked, because soon it will be answered.
Hey, you are that wacky yahoo יהוה? No mas por favor.
Orchi is back from possession and returns as a cup of cappuccino.
Allah and Yahweh stole my avatar.
They are one jealous God.
I am reporting it to the authorities.
Ha ha ha ha. very witty.
If he does become pres imagine Puerto Rico as the 51st state and mexico as the 52st state.
Leave Mexico alone. The one million US citizens living here do not want to be brought back into the US. We like things here the way they are. Yankees stay north of the border and we will stay here.
And then there is this story about another Latino with potential for 2016.

Uh, as someone who was stupid enough to have voted for him (the first time, NOT the second time!), I have to say that he has no potential to be president of the United States of America.
President of the Grinning Stuffed Shirts Who Can’t Keep Their Pants On of America, maybe.
Fucking professional politicians are a scourge in this US of A. Also pissing me off is the blatant use of a rising minority person to lead the demos in their circus to all hail the chief at the 2012 Democratic National Confuction.
Oh well it was inevitable that we’d have a POTUS named CASTRO. By then we’ll be a full-blown Democrat Liberal Commy paradise, right?
bobbo says,
“No New Texans!”
Me like. Sounds like you made a mistake about taxes, but, knowing you I love the sound of that statement. We’ll have to find somebody really powerful for no reason and have him create a, “No New Texans” Pledge, and then blackmail all on the hill to sign the NNTP.
Bah! bobbo stole that one from me, but then I stole it from someone else. This blog is thick with thieves. BTW quote it right…
“Read My Lips..No New Texans!” Just like Bush the Retard Sr. said before he raised taxes.
I stopped using it because I liked Ron Paul.
Oh yea, I forgot about Ron Paul being a Texan. Wasn’t Ross Perot a Texan also. There goes that slogan. Bush was a faux Texan. My better half and I both registered as R’s just to vote for Paul in the primarys.
Still don’t trust Castro and the way he is being propped up as a token, hokey and racist and reminds me of south park. It’s all very transparent now. Check that of the list of promises made.
Too young. Sorry. Maybe 2020, and even then….
Read his bio in the NY Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/09/magazine/09Mayor-t.html
He’s well educated and now well connected. Did he ever have a job in the real world? Or did he just slither into politics.
Demos or TPTB trying to prop up another minority wearing a Latin cultural exterior this time. Slowly the American melting pot is turning a more milk chocolate in color, and damn it if the D’s won’t try to at least VP him.
14 million google search hits as of now.
So this is how the Democrats plan to lose in 2016. Pick I guy named Castro as their candidate. Sure, he’ll have the Cuban American (and illegal immigrant) vote. But that will just get everyone else fired up to vote for the GOP ticket. Which is all both parties really care about. Gettin everybody fired up, and registered. It preserves the two party system, as is. Without any pesky reforms. Only when the voter numbers fall very low, do they pretend to start thinking about reform. But if a controversial issue (such as gay marriages) or candidate, works as well. All the better. So expect to see more BS candidates, in the 2015-6 build up to the primaries. Cheney could be back, or even McCain or Palin.
Glenn said,
“Cheney could be back, or even McCain or Palin.”
You mean Liz, Meghan McCain and Bristol or you jest.
I thought Elizabeth Warren was supposed to be the keynote, or am I mistaken? I’d understand however if they changed it because she has supposedly become a bit toxic at the moment.
After what we’ve seen the last 8 years, if America elects another Democratic POTUS, the human race deserves to go extinct. The entire party platform is more anti-human than anything in history.
