And now a word from our pseudo-sponsor

When you have the chance, please take a gander at this blog I’m helping run with a fellow NYU grad student: http://ourlatinamerica.blogspot.com/. The Latin Americanist looks at different aspects of Latin America such as politics, economics, arts, literature, and culture. There are also several handy links on the different dialects of Spanish spoken in Latin America as well as other blogs on the region.

And now back to your regularly scheduled stuff.
