Mexicans flood home for Christmas, wary of crime
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans and Central Americans have been clogging crossings at the US-Mexico border, braving bandits and corrupt authorities in a perilous migration south to be home for Christmas. This year, travelers are taking greater precautions to avoid being robbed or kidnapped as they…
Mexico shuts down ‘world’s biggest garbage dump’
MEXICO CITY — Authorities Monday shut down Mexico’s — and possibly the world’s — biggest garbage dump and said they would invite bids to exploit methane gas generated by the decomposing waste. Waste Management Commission chief Fernando Menendez called the closing “historic” as “it is the world’s largest (truck-filled open-air)…
Mexico drug gangs up ante with high-tech tunnels
MEXICO CITY, Mexico (Reuters) – When architect Felipe de Jesus Corona built Mexico’s most powerful drug lord a 200-foot-long tunnel under the U.S.-Mexican border with a hydraulic lift entrance opened by a fake water tap, the kingpin was impressed.

Tons of marijuana found in sea off Mexican coast

Group A results: Uruguay on top, Mexico through on GD
(Short and sweet, as my job is forcing itself onto the front burner here!) Group A is all done, and my bracket is already off! I’m somewhat mortified to say I had France winning this group, although I made that choice weeks ago. Mais maintenant nous disons au revoir et…

Mexico 2-0 France
I have had it with these motherfucking players in this motherfucking box! As our friend @JeffWoodhead said, this game was all about Eric Abidal. He blew the offside trap on the first goal, and as you might have seen, he slid into Pablo Barrera with the kind of reckless foul…
Day one in the books
JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN’T NOTICE, the World Cup finally began today! Group A is all even on single points, with both games ending in draws. Two matches down, 62 more to go… South Africa vs Mexico was overall the more exciting of the two, in my opinion. Mexico nearly…
USA – Mexico: Preview Round-Up
Tim Howard should be in goal today, and he’s playing as well as any keeper in the world. Landon Donovan said they aren’t going down there for a draw. Jozy Altidore will be playing up front with the increased confidence (and jetlag) of a guy playing in the Premiership. People…
The price of sanctimony addiction
Here’s a story I rarely see much about on blogs, even though it seems to me that it goes into the file “Big Fucking Deal”. There were a bunch of demonstrations on the border in Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, and Reynosa Tuesday, and more in Monterrey, all blocking traffic in some…
