Malva:
A Transvestite
Eye on Argentine
History
By Louise Dewast
Recently
published
autobiography
‘Malva,
mi recorrido’ could
be a take on
Argentina’s
recent history
through a
transvestite
lens, giving the
word to a
community
segregated for
many
years.
According to
statistics from
transvestites’
organizations,
this community
has an average
life of 35
years, giving
Malva, a
90-year-old
transvestite,
the opportunity
– if not the
need – to recall
a collective
memory that has
nearly vanished....Read

Funny Bone
Joke Of The Week
An old man lived alone. He wanted to dig
his potato garden, but it was very
hard work and his only son, who would
have helped him, was in prison for
bank robbery. The old man wrote a letter
to his son and mentioned his
predicament.
Shortly, he received this reply: "FOR
HEAVEN'S SAKE, Dad, don't dig up the
entire garden, that's where I buried the
money." At 4 a.m. the next
morning, a dozen policemen showed up and
dug up the entire garden without
finding any money.
Confused, the old man wrote another note
to his son telling him what
happened, and asking him what to do
next. His son's reply was, "Now plant
your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I
could do from here."

Quote of the Week
All great things are simple, and many
can be expressed in single words:
freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy,
hope.
Sir Winston Churchill
Did You Know...
...Many northern parishes
(counties) of Louisiana did not
agree with the Confederate
movement. To show their
disapproval, they changed their
names. That's why there is a
Union Parish, Jefferson Parish,
etc.
