Chávez, Castro as Technophobics in ISHR Campaign

The International Society for Human Rights (ISHR) has tapped Raúl Castro, Hugo Chávez and other “notable” members of the current political landscape for a world-wide campaign in the defense of the Internet as a weapon to promote human rights.

“Scared Dictators” was created by Ogilvy and the PSA’s have made it to this year’s Clio Awards’ short list in the print category.

Obama Taps a Latino as Ambassador to the Vatican. And No, It’s Not Padre Alberto Cutié

With Latinos still celebrating the appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court (and praying that Republicans will not send her back to the Bronx project she came from) President Obama this week tapped yet another Hispanic to his cabinet, this time an ambassador to the Vatican…. And no, it is not Padre Alberto -as this blogger some had hoped.

Obama’s choice for such holy task is Miguel Diaz, a 45-year-old theologian who had served as a consultant to Obama’s presidential campaign. Diaz is a theologian who has not played any significant role in politics.

Alas, Padre Alberto did not make the cut. He was -apparently- busy making the transition from a church that couldn’t forgive his sensual pecadillos to one which will allow whatever it is he likes to do on the beach!

Amen.
