An initiative apparently started on the Internet asks people to boycott the AriZona Beverage Co. because of claims the new immigration law in that state will unfairly target Hispanics. But Don Vultaggio, chairman of the Woodbury-based beverage maker, says it has always been a New York company.

1. The Phillies are toast in '10 unless they find a closer.
2. Sandra Bullock deserves far better than a tattooed biker.
3. In a volatile election year, the politicians in D.C. would rather detonate grenades in their mouths than tackle the immigration issue.
I'd bet that Democrats and Republicans alike would rather talk baseball or celebrity gossip; unfortunately, they're stuck these days with a hot political issue that has little foreseeable upside - for
When it comes to making it into the top echelon of corporate America, Hispanics aren't.This demographic, which represents 14 percent of the U.S. population, holds just 1 percent of the top officer spots at Fortune 500 companies.

The show featured a cast of brown-skinned characters that were unprecedented in primetime television. The series featured smart and strong Latinas, a powerful Black woman and even an undocumented father from Mexico. Not to mention the show's humanistic handling of its gay and trans

As we saw during the final stages of the health-care debate, Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D) isn't shy about taking his complaints public (he said he was going to vote against the health bill before eventually voting for it).
And now he's taking aim at President Obama's immigration policies, suggesting that Latino voters might not participate in the upcoming midterm elections -- if the administration and Democratic congressional leaders don't move forward on a comprehensive immigration bill.
