Left of center and lover of photography, music, pop culture, and life. Favorite quote - "There are no innocents. There are, however, different degrees of responsibility" (Lisbeth Salander, from Stieg Larsson's original Millennium Trilogy).
Some old timers will remember when Man Eegee was a real presence at the original Frog Pond. In the broad world of liberal and left-leaning blogs, especially those devoted to human rights and immigrant rights, there was a whole Eegeehood. Nezua ran a blog called The Unapologetic Mexican for a few years. It burned brightly and then went out. But while it was around, it was beautiful. Nezua would drop some music from time to time, like this Ben Harper song I’m about to drop. It’s still timely.

I’m partial to Manu Chao:
