"Need a lift to the monarchs? Sure, jump in the back with Pablo and Ernesto and hang on."

The irony of this is the Miranda laws were created initially to protect people who were non-english speaking and were potentially unaware of their rights while being tried in court.

Ernesto Miranda could barely speak english and was coerced by police to give a confession. The police never made it clear that he could have an attorney present during the interrogation. Later the charges levied against him were overturned because, the ACLU argued that his sixth amendment (below) rights were violated.

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense."

I hate to sound like a talking head for the left but the fact of the matter is Rachel is right, and these republicans (especially the LOATHSOME senator Bachman) are hypocrites.

This is from "(Downtown no) Gaki no Tsukai (ya Arahende)" a Japanese owarai comedy show. All the videos I could find by them on Youtube are hillarious.

I think the best one is another batsu geemu (Punishment game) in a Japanese High School English Class. http://youtube.com/watch?v=9E_x3ArCQm8 Wait until you get to the instructional video!

Another good one is Silent Library with K-1-Fighter Ernesto Hoost. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LdgdBOTUSqg

Ernesto Lecuona y Casado (August 6, 1895 Guanabacoa, now part of Havana, Cuba - November 29, 1963 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands) was a Cuban composer and performer, perhaps the greatest and most legendary Cuban musician of his time.

Lecuona started early studying piano under his sister Ernestina, then, at the Peyrellade Conservatoire under Antonio Saavedra and the famous Joaquin Nin. Lecuona graduated from the National Conservatory of Havana with a Gold Medal for interpretation when he was sixteen. And he performed outside of Cuba at the Aeolian Hall (New York) in 1916.

He first travelled to Spain in 1924 on a concert tour with violinist Maria de la Torre; his successful piano recitals in 1928 at Paris coincided with a rise in interest in Cuban music.

He was a prolific composer of songs and music for stage and film. His works consisted of zarzuela, Afro-Cuban and Cuban rhythms, suites and many songs which are still very famous. They include "Siboney" (Canto Siboney), "Malagueña" and "The Breeze And I" (Andalucía). In 1942, his great hit, "Always in My Heart" (Siempre en mi Corazon) was nominated for a Grammy for Best Song; however, it lost to "White Christmas." Lecuona was a master of the symphonic form and conducted the Ernesto Lecuona Symphonic Orchestra. The Orchestra performed in the Cuban Liberation Day Concert at Carnegie Hall on October 10, 1943. The concert included the world premiere of Lecuona's "Black Rhapsody." Lecuona also played popular music with his Lecuona Cuban Boys band.

In 1960, thoroughly unhappy with Castro's new regime, Lecuona moved to Tampa. He died 3 years later at Santa Cruz de Tenerife and he is buried in Hawthorne, New York.
