Happy Mother's Day other's Day is a day honoring mothers, celebrated on various
days in many places around the world. It complements Father's Day, the
celebration honoring fathers. One Mother's school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship
in ancient Greece, which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek
gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and
eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (15 March) to 18 March.

jail for burglary, that's a "black eye" to the family. You have a sister
who wears red and works the street corners... that's a "black eye" to
the family. If any of the above is caught on T.V., Radio or
Newspapers... that's a BIG "black eye" to the family. If they're on the

Revenge is Sweet for ex- Governor Barceló Ha Ha, who says he Tipped off FBI By LPS - The Associated Press - For former Puerto
Rican Gov. Carlos Romero Barceló, the federal indictment of the current governor
is sweet revenge indeed... "Ha ha ha". Barceló, now a statesman for the main
opposition party,
had previously identified himself as the person who alerted the FBI to possible
corruption by Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila. Acevedo vowed "to remain firm as
governor of all Puerto Ricans" after surrendering to federal authorities and
pleading not guilty to 19 counts, that include conspiracy to violate federal
campaign laws, defraud the Internal Revenue Service and giving false testimony
to the FBI. He was released on his own recognizance and no trial date was set.

LAND THAT TIME FORGOT DEPT. Taino Park Found in PR
Codex by Don Jibaro Barbanegra
SAN
JUAN, Puerto Rico - How do you lose something as big as a park in an island
that's barely 100x35 miles large? Well, you could cover it with malanga leaves
and put it where nobody will go for 500 years. ¡Caramba! ¡Smart Taino indians!
And so... for hundreds of years all major world powers have conquered, crushed,
mastered, overpowered, overthrown, ruined, subjugated, thwarted, trounced,
undone and vanquished Indian civilizations in the new world, then took home all
spoils. Still, archeologists have finally found something that conquerors did
not take home with them. Something that time itself had forgotten... until now.

The
Puerto Rican Jesus
Controversy by Don Jíbaro Blackbeard F YOU VISIT any town in Puerto Rico, most likely you'll see a church in the
town's main plaza. Inside that church, for the most part, Jesus will be the
focus of the congregation's faith. It has been like that for hundreds of years
since the Spanish Friars were sent to proselyte the inhabitants of the the
"New World". I didn't make it so, you didn't either, but that's just the way
it is; and nothing is going to change that... not even statehood or
independence, should it either ever come.
