Hot and Cold - Roald Dahl
A woman who my mother knows
Came in and took off all her clothes.Said I, not being very old,
‘By golly gosh, you must be cold!’‘No, no!’ she cried. ‘Indeed I’m not!
I’m feeling devilishly hot!’
Update: Read Neiwert.
Are any of the people Malkin cites “among Mexico’s intellectual elite and political class”?
Er, no.
Can she cite any examples of those “elite” — or hey, even some shoot-from-the-hip right-wing pundit — advocating “Reconquista”?
Er, no.
As for MEChA, there is no instance of “Reconquista!” advocacy on its record. The phrase does not appear in either El Plan de Santa Barbara or El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, two of the 1969-era documents that get the “MEChA is racist” crowd all worked up. Nor can you find it in the more comprehensive, and current, “Philosophy of MEChA”. None of them talk about returning Southwest territory to Mexico.
