Oh Felipe, Felipe, dónde están sus cojones?

I supported Felipe Calderon in his presidential bid because he had one big, golden, shining attribute in his favor: He wasn't Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. And though even though loser Lopez Obrador still thinks he's really president, Calderon is falling fast in my eyes (though he is still kinda cute, like a little accountant).

You see, it's one thing for Calderon to whip out the "blame America" refrain in an effort to boost his populist street cred. But he didn't even have the cojones to deliver his state of the union speech to Mexico's Congress -- dodging the leftist Lopez Obrador mafia and delivering the speech instead from a concert hall where they've held the Miss Universe pageant.

Come on -- it's been nine months since Calderon won, and he's still kowtowing to this crap? If Calderon can't handle a bunch of noisy lawmakers, how on earth can he be expected to crack down on ruthless coyotes?

The only problem with taking on the opposition in Mexico is that in can result in a bullet to the head. It's a sad state of affairs. Let's invade Mexico. Most of the people want to be here anyway and they have oil, margaritas, sunny beaches and don't forget about the food. Also, the culture of death doesn't exist like it does in the middle east. I think we can win.
