1 August 2010

“Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?”

I’ve run across this quote a couple of times lately — attributed to the wrong person… (which is a clue: think Laurel and Hardy, Simon and Garfunkel, Batman and Robin)… on extreme rightist sites, both in Mexico and in the United States, although the author is neither connected to the far right, nor lived in the Americas.

Answer on Tuesday.
