This article by The Miami Herald's Andres Oppenheimer looks at why Hispanics went to the polls in record numbers on Super Tuesday. It...

So I’m reading my Glamour Daily Gossip email and I see a story about Lindsay Lohan giving her two cents on the scandal of the day - Sarah Palin’s unmarried pregnant teenage daughter. Great, I think, another Paris Hilton-style bit of manufactured commentary. Turns out, in the words of Guanabee, �...
