THE ZAPATA INTERVIEW, IS THIS REAL?

The Zapata interview
by Maggie Van Ostrand

In 1916, an intrepid reporter, Guillermo Ojara, was assigned by his paper, El Demócrata, to go south to seek and interview Emiliano Zapata.
After harrowing incidents with hundreds of Zapatistas in the mountains, valleys, even The Hill of the Scorpions inhabited by thousands of those deadly creatures, Ojara was finally brought to his subject.

It is interesting to note that Zapata was called “El Attila del Sur” by his men, and frequently signed his public proclamations with that title. Without further delay, here, in part, are Ojara’s words, which tell us much about Zapata’s physical appearance, charismatic presence, and philosophy of justice for the poor.

Halloween 08

Halloween was fun as usual, this time I dressed up as Emiliano Zapata.  A lot of people recognized me, I was really surprised when they would call me by his name.  

It was a great night along with some good old XX’s I was enjoying the view and chillaxing.

My son also enjoyed his first Halloween and enjoyed it in style, he dressed up as the one and only Bruce Wayne (BATMAN).  ”Julian? Y el Batman?
