LULZ I can has teh theoriz?

So in a Professional Development workshop after school today, I was putting together a "Newsletter" for project-based learning. I decided to create a unit on Po-Co lit. In searching for a photo of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, I found LOL Theorists

This juicy nugget is packed with enough flavor for foodies and film studies alike.
I wish I had known about it in college. No drinking games to recommend, but that's what Wahl Searoh is for.

Aqui, en Miami, there is an immigration loophole known as "wet foot dry foot" but it applies only to those who can justify the need for political asylum. (i.e. Cubans only, all others keep out)

Ergo, if a boatload of Haitians wash upon the sand out of Biscayne Bay, INS is on the scene to capture and send them back home, because Haitians do not seem to require political asylum (despite the fact that Haiti is in continuous guerrilla tumult.)
If a boat/raft/carboat/floating thingie full of Cubans seeking asylum washes upon the sand out of Biscayne Bay and they are on land by the time INS shows up, this is considered "dry foot" and the exiles are allowed to stay. If they are intercepted in the midst of their voyage, waiting for the gulf stream to bring them close to land this is considered "wet foot" and they must return to Cuba, where they have sacrificed their nationality.

Anoche, I watched B+B. As a gringa having grown up in Miami, I found Boxers+Ballerinas to be a well balanced representation of the aforementioned athletes' lives in Miami and Cuba.

I recommend it mucho.
