Seems to me that the only people who see an Obama-Clinton ticket as a "dream ticket" are 1) the media, and 2) Republicans. The former can keep harping on the Clintons, and latter can keep fundraising off the Clintons -- kos

For a long time, Robert Jordan was the man I admired above almost all others in life and fiction … a hero for the twentieth century, my century.

Today in our tour of Latin American music, I give you the brilliant Carlos Vives. Vives has made a career out of modernizing the vallenato -- a Colombian variation of the cumbia that hails from the nation's coastal region. Little vallenato groups (accortion and percussion) roam the beaches and play for partygoers, something I hope to experience first-hand some day -- kos

This was his breakout hit. His song "Amor Latino" is my ring tone when my wife calls.

We'll start this morning off with Dominican Juan Luis Guerra, my favorite merenguero and perhaps the greatest living poet in Latin America. Except that this song isn't a merengue, but a mambo -- kos

I've got homework for you guys: If you live anywhere near a Salvadoran restaurant, give it a shot. Try pupusas, our national food. Make sure you eat it the way it's supposed to be eaten (ask for instructions).
