This is the blog to discuss contemporary issues in sports, entertainment, and politics in a different light than conventional media. El Noticiero Alvarez Galloso existe para discutir con el lector temas deportivos, de la farandula [la carrera en vez de los chismes], y la politica. El Noticiero Alvarez Galloso servira como una alternativa a las discusiones mediocres de los medios contemporaneos.
In solidarity with those who lost their lives in Burma [and other countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, North Korea, and USA] in the struggle for freedom and human rights; the Alvarez Galloso News Hour will be off on the 4th of October 2007 barring any breaking news.
El 4 de Octubre de 2007 como protesta contra las violaciones de los derechos humanos en Birmania [estoy agregando Cuba y Venezuela] posiblemente no escribire ese dia.
Digo eso porque en Birmania [igual como es el pan de cada dia en Cuba y Venezuela], un militar del gobierno militar socialista asesinaron en sangre fria un periodista japones y la pura coincidencia el periodista japones me entrevisto en una epoca y el tema fue la medicina administrativa.
CHELSEA AND THE FUTURE
During the goalless game between Chelsea and Fulham, Cheslea Defender John Terry suffered a fracture in the cheekbone secondary to a supposed accident with Clint Dempsey’s Elbow.
Regardless of how Terry comes out, Chelsea is not going to win the Premier League and England has lost a chance to win in Euro 2008. After reading the comments from Chelsea Supporters on the Chelsea Webpage, and BBC 606; there is one conclusion.
Chelsea in itself is a great team lead by a manager who is crisis prone. While Grant may have “loser” stamped on his head, he is still a decent person placed in his predicament by the true culprit called Abramovich.
Abramovich is a frustrated millionaire who knows nothing about football but loves the money that comes from it. Abramovich deserves to be blamed for the predicament that Chelsea is in right now. It is so unfortunate that Chelsea Players and Supporters could not form a consortium to buy back Chelsea in the same way some Manchester United Supporters have done. If this option was possible, maybe we could kick Abramovich to North Korea or maybe Bush’s Home in Crawford, Texas
Abramovich and Mourinho had their personality clash but Mourinho has class. Chelsea also has class and will continue to have it long after Abramovich, Mourinho, and Grant are in the history books.
Chelsea eventually after getting its act together will rise from the ashes. Maybe “The Great One” is gone but his spirit lives on in Chelsea.
MOURINHO, QPR AND THE SPURS
In the light of recent changes in QPR with the firing of Gregory and the Spurs with the firing of Jol, what are the possibilities of Mourinho coaching QPR or the Spurs?
MIAMI DOLPHINS 17-35 OAKLAND RAIDERS
The Miami Dolphins played the Oakland Raiders in Dolphin Stadium with the hope of at least obtaining a victory.
In this current NFL Season, the Miami Dolphins have been without a victory, with a coach that was never an expert in picking great players for the draft. The current coach of the Miami Dolphins has been a continuation of the Jimmy Johnson/ D. Wanstedt tradition of Midas in Reverse, everything this coach touches turns into a disaster.
I have been a fan of the Miami Dolphins since the late 1960’s even when living in Cleveland. But there is a need for objectivity. I saw part of the game and it was an exercise in self flagellation. Afterwards, I saw a DVD of a Three Stooges Movie in which they played American Football. The Three Stooges could have easily defeated the Miami Dolphins even though it was three people against a Team.
This analogy is just to show how pathetic the situation is. The Miami Dolphins might as well continue this season and then when springs come, do some spring cleaning by replacing staff and team with people who are better equipped mentally for choosing players, instilling coordination, and discipline.
THE BUCK STOPS HERE
Chelsea Chairman Bruce Buck has decided that enough is enough on the taunts against Grant. Buck further declared that while Chelsea fans have a right to disagree with what happened to Mourinho, Racial Slurs of Any Kind will not be tolerated.
My differences with Grant were the fact that he had problems with the UEFA Pro Licence and that Mourinho left due to a clash of personalities with Abramovich. While I support Mourinho, Grant does not deserve to be insulted with ethnic and racial epithets especially in today’s World.
Chelsea does not need those supporters who tarnish its name by using racial and ethnic slurs.
What happened to Grant is proof that racism is still alive in football even in the 21st Century. Those who want to be racist in their football chants have no business in going to football games and making life miserable for those who love football.
FOOTBALL YES!!!!!! CHELSEA YES!!!!!!! RACISM NO!!!!!!!!!
ALTO AL RACISMO EN FUTBOL
El Presidente del Club Ingles Chelsea Bruce Buck hablo con enojo sobre el maltrato racial y etnico hacia Grant. Considero que estoy en desacuerdo con el maltrato de Grant con las siguientes palabras: FUTBOL SI!!!!!!! RACISMO NO!!!!!!
All out for D.C. and L.A., September 22-29th
Over four years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Greens continue to call for an immediate end to this war, and accountability at home. Our Gulf Coast remains in shambles, nooses are hung by white children in school yards to intimidate black children, and immigrant families are rounded up in the middle of the night.
As Greens, we must come together to say - the United States needs to get its priorities straight, clean house, and we must bring the troops home NOW! Beginning Saturday, September 22, the Green Party of the United States have a tent set up at the Troops Out Now Coalition's week-long encampment to end the war, on the lawn in front of the Capitol building. We invite all Greens to come to D.C. and L.A. to join with others to resist the continuing war abroad and demand accountability at home.
Jared Ball of the DC Statehood Green Party will speak at the rally on the 29th http://www.voxunion.com/jaredball/ . Ball is a nominee for the Green Party Presidential candidacy. Green Party of the U.S. Co-Chair, Echo Steiner (FL), will co-emcee the rally in Washington D.C. In Los Angeles, GPAX co-chair, Deanna Taylor (UT), and SKCM-Curry of the California Green Party will speak at the rally September 29 in front of the Federal Building. During the D.C. Encampment on Wednesday, September 26 at 5pm, the DC Statehood Party will lead a discussion on D.C. statehood, affordable housing, and preserving neighborhood libraries.
We honor the courage of those thousands who converged this week in Jena, Louisiana, to call out injustice -- we seek to continue in that spirit by calling on Greens to assemble at the halls of power, to speak, to act, and to work together to take our country back for the people.
For information on transportation centers, events like the week of hip hop shows, the youth and student day of action, Impeachment Rally, Stop the War at Home Day, and more, visit www.troopsoutnow.org
To support the Green Party presence at the Encampment and rally, visit the GPAX website at www.gp.org/committees/peace -- and use it to let us know you're coming!
Ballot Access Committee has goal of 51 ballot lines
The Ballot Access Committee has prepared a Green Paper on the National and State Parties partnership in the struggle for Ballot Access. In the end the question is asked: How can the Ballot Access Committee partner with your state party to secure your ballot line? GPUS is a place where shared resources can bypass artificial state boundaries, and help Green Parties everywhere thrive.
You can read the entire Green Paper by clicking here.
The Ballot Access Committee web page has been updated with a donation link. Donations made through that link are earmarked for the Ballot Access Committee and their work to establish 51 ballot lines. Donate to the Ballot Access Committe Click Here.
Arkansas files Signatures for Ballot Status
State Co-ordinator, Mark Jenkins reports:
At 8:30 this morning the Green Party submitted 17,197 signatures to the Secretary of State. I wish you all could've seen the "shock and awe" on their faces, but more than that, I wish I could thank every one of you in person. And as long as I'm getting mushy, I'd like to send an enormous "Thank You" to the Green Party of the U.S. and to all the individual Greens around the country who contributed to our effort.
We exceeded our goal of 16,000 signatures - accomplished largely with a last minute surge of volunteer help. I attribute that both to better weather and, more importantly, the inspiration derived from knowing that we're not in this alone. Thanks to all.
2 Greens Running in Tucson
Tucson AZ, a city of half a million, will elect a new mayor in November, and fill three council seats. Ward 4 is an open seat, and, has only two contenders: a Dem, and the Green Party contender, Beryl Baker. The primary was by Ward, but the seat is voted in city-wide, so we have to campaign everywhere.
Meanwhile, the mayor's seat will also have only two contenders: The R incumbent, and Green Party challenger Dave Croteau. Dave pulled 16% in a sheriff's race a few years back, without passing the $500 spending threshold. In this election, he is running full out, and has garnered some impressive individual endorsements.
Our two Green candidates are running on a platform that emphasizes sustainability, relocalization, and particularly, water issues. Tucson draws ever deeper from an aquifer that was created in geologic time, and the only water not imported in perrier bottles is through the overcommitted, nonsustainable and contaminated CAP allotments, channeled hundreds of miles from the north.
Candidate Croteau is a Native American who is a construction craftsman. He has served on the City of Tucson Police Review Board, has represented the Neighborhood Associations in negotiating with the University, and is a longtime Green. Candidate Beryl Baker, a recent Green, has also been a longtime activist with neighborhoods, particularly dealing with water and drainage issues. She has worked as an urban farmer, a library aide, a jewelry maker, a lab assistant, and currently has a Fish & Game grant to study pond ecology. Both have lived in Tucson for over 50 years, grew up here, went to the schools, are known in the community.
Both candidates are close to qualifying for city matching money, and when they do, any contributions [until they max out] will be doubled, retroactively. So please support these two great candidates with a contribution, sent to PO Box 6014 Tucson AZ 85703. "Beryl Baker for City Council." "Dave Croteau for Mayor."
And, in the same envelope, a third check ["Arizona Green Party"] will help pay for the ballot access campaign here in Arizona. This will help us hire professional signature gatherers at $1 signature. The state Party recently agreed to use these funds to help with signature gathering in rural counties, where we have a local Party organized, so as to boost our growth there, at the same time that we continue with volunteer signature gatherers in the metro areas.
