Blogante Headlines for Thursday - September 13th, 2007

If you missed "Brown is the New Green: George Lopez and the American Dream" on PBS, I would highly recommend it. Here is link to the trailer but I personally think they should put up some excerpts on youtube or something. There are some great parts that should be readily availale. It is kind of like what I do here. This is a great show but once it goes off the air how many of us are going to watch it. The same thing for my posts - some/many of these articles vanish (or at least vanish from the search engines) and without me there would be no record or easy way to find them. - Tomás
