Radical left-wing hispanic organization?  LULAC?  You mean, the group
that is the umbrella organization for the GI FORUM (a latino/a veterns
group) sponsers hundred of thousands of dollars in scholarships a year,
works for equality for people who might be otherwise disenfranchised
based on languague?

Yeap...sounds kinda radical to me.

Actually, I'm offended by the Taco Bell commercial.  Yea, the first few
times it was cute...but now its annoying...just like you tracey/david.
