livin’ la vida loco
Well renowned intellectual Ricky Martin recently took a stab at raising awareness about Arab profiling. Martin, a former member of Menudo and “Livin’ La Vida Loca” one-hit wonder, attended the silver jubilee of the Arab Children’s Congress in Jordan. Martin posed for photos with Arab teenage fans and at one point a traditional Arab kaffiyeh headscarf with the slogan “Jerusalem Is Ours” written in Arabic was draped over his shoulders.
“I had no idea that the kaffiyeh scarf presented to me contained language referring to Jerusalem, and I apologize to anyone who might think I was endorsing its message,” Martin said in a statement released Monday by his New York-based publicist, Ken Sunshine.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time that Martin has found himself in this type of awkward situation . . .
It doesn’t add up . . .

Open letter to Senator Santorum
Dear Senator Santorum,
It was with great disappointment and sadness this morning that I learned that two days before you introduced a bill that critics say would restrict the National Weather Service, your political action committee received a $2,000 donation from the chief executive of a leading provider of weather data. I think this alleged action makes the Republicans look bad at a time when we can ill afford any more political setbacks.
In the future, Senator, I would encourage you to refuse to put any bill forward for less than a $50,000 contribution. It’s a sad day when a Senator’s vote can be purchased for such a fiddling sum–it makes the whole party look shabby and cheap. I have it on good authority that the going rate for Senator Schumer, who has four years less seniority than you, is at least $100,000 (in a brown envelope passed under the table no less). I doubt that a measley $2,000 contribution would even get you a seat at a table near the kitchen door at a Senator Kennedy fundraiser, much less get a bill introduced in Congress.
Further, accepting a $2,000 contribution creates confusion. That sum is so low, that I doubt that most Senators would realize he has been “bought off” by its acceptance. Please do better in the future.
Your loyal subject,
Cadet Happy
