Vete a la chingada?

20 February 2012

… or “Vete a ‘La Chingada’?

Alas, one doesn’t hear quote marks in spoken language.  Andres Manuel López Obradór, speaking of his future should he lose the election , either said that he’s be fucked, or that he’ll probably spend some time with his family back  in Tabasco.

Despite his puritanism, AMLO does have a wicked sense of humor, and swears as much as any other Mexican… which is to say, in the normal course of polite conversation.  Joke names for family properties are normal.  Alvaro Obregon, who made his fortune in garbanzos, named his farm “The Poor House” and the Lopez Obrador brothers own “Fucked Up Acres”.   I think that his opponents are,  in a backhanded way — confirming my sense that the leftist candidate is seen as a genuine threat, his every utterance being now newsworthy.

    Could be, but then again there are only 3 serious players now so they’re all going to get a turn at the mike. Kinda Ancient Mariner “stoppeth one in three” style.
    Good to have MexFiles flowing again.
