Brushing up on Spanish with Dora the Explorer to Understand Democrats

Regarding Senator Tim Kaine's VP nominee speech, Scottie Nell Hughes made some interesting observations and comments. She argued that Trump spoke in a language that everyone understands, which is English. 

"...You know, I appreciate him having multicultural and speaking Spanish, I think that’s a great idea, and we can all bring out our languages, Melania could come out and speak her five different languages as well. But what Mr. Trump did, he spoke in a language that all Americans can understand. That is English."

I'll be the first to admit my grammar is nowhere perfect, but one would expect that after making such a statement perhaps it would be followed with a well-put and carefully structured sentence, right? Wrong.

"...And that is one good thing that I thought was a great thing, you know, that we saw during the -- I didn’t have to get a translator for anything that was going on at the RNC this week..."

Okay. She made her point that during the RNC one need not a translator. End of sentence, right? Nope. She continued on and threw Dora the Explorer, an innocent bystander, into the argument. 

...and I’m hoping I’m not going to have to kind of start brushing up back on my Dora the Explorer to understand some of the speeches given this week..."

Unfortunately for Scottie Nell Hughes, if she learned Spanish by watching Dora the Explorer, she would still not understand the Spanish words Tim Kaine used in his speech. Well, perhaps she'd be gitty and excited when she heard Tim Kaine say, "familia." 

But I think Samantha Bee on her show Full Frontal reported it best.

Independence Day (1996 Film)

Film Appreciation

It was the Summer of 1996, and I was doing an internship in Washington, DC. I joined a group of friends to the movie theater at the Union Station mall to watch the much talked about film, Independence Day.

The sci-fi movie starred rapper-turned-actor Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum, and was directed by Roland Emmerich, now widely appreciated for his disaster flicks.

The theater house was packed. There was even a holler of cheers break out from the crowd when the White House saw its destruction from an alien ship. Remind you, this was pre-9/11, and the only thing that was in our minds at the time was Y2K and the death of grunge.

I recently we to watch Independence Day: Resurgence, and in no way does it match the uniqueness and grandness of the original film. Don't get me wrong, it was great watching Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, and Judd Hirsh reprising their roles.
