We have a new governor, a female, born in El Paso, lives in Las Cruces and educated at the University of Oklahoma….Yep, I voted for her…I kinda liked the way she talked…Reading about her in Ruben Navarrette’s column this morning left me feeling a little, oh, I don’t know how to describe it…I just thought of her as an American girl running for office…He says she is a Latino….I looked in Webster’s but it did not tell me what a Latino was….So, Ruben, should I be worried…Is she not 100% American….Well, I think she is and you are just giving her a name to boost your own ego, something like “me too” crap…Because I am English, Irish, Scotch, oh yeah, with a little Choctaw Indian, what does that make me, a Europenochotoean. There are a whole bunch of folk around here that has a blood line longer than your arm….most of them are 100 % American….That’s what I am saying Mrs. Martinez is and I would be willing to bet that she gives the Mexican Flag and Mexican Government no more than common courtesy…She has already come down on issuing drivers licenses to non-residentsof the state and I think illegal residents will be dealt with severely. When you and the press hang a name like that on our governor it is almost like putting her on a guilt trip if she votes on anything other than the way you want her to….I am glad she is of Mexican descent. She is a lovely person. She can be a good governor and I think she will be and will represent all the residents of the state of New Mexico, even us Europenochotoeans……



What the heck is a Europenochotoean? It must be one of those big words that is used by the Media meaning and signifying nothing. It is very interesting to investigate one’s roots; but, as for me, I am more interested in investigating where I am going, what will be the state of the world 50 years from now, and especially what that Heavenly paradise will be like. Let’s just judge Governor Martinez by her actions in office. Reelect her or “can” her after four years based on those actions alone.
I guess I did not make my point. I meant that I felt like Susana Martinez was an American not a Latino. So the Europenochotoean is a made up word for us “other that Latino”. You put way to much into what I am saying….I am very shallow…Mrs. Martinez will do well I am sure…
