Mairym:

Semerecen que Borders la cancele.  El que la quiera leer que se suscriba.  Debemos sugerirle que le dediquen la proxima portada a Doña Myriam.

Ellos se lo pierden;

I must confesar que ningún copy en my life he querido tocar.  Of that infame revista of empty vanida que jumps a la vista.  The closest que he estado de tenerla a mi lado has been in the toilet where I didn't boycot it because it shares la identidad con un papel de inodoro much better than the revista.  Even for the propósito del baño it is a piece of sheet that just doesn't fit.  Ni para eso sirve.  They haven't heard of Corín Tellado, one of the few spanish authors fit for them to be publicado.  Hagamos un rollo de papel sanitario witht all of their portadas and tengamos un bonfire of the vanities con everything they may have publicado.  Y que inviten a Saramago, Neruda, Juan Ramón, Borges, Cortázar, Gabriela y William Carlos Williams para que les diseñen a new magazine en español a ver si algún día la sacamos del back burner.  You should publish la poesía de George Bush in blank verse.  Patético, patético.  After all el es the arbiter of buen gusto.  Que disgusto!

Excerpt, Vanity Fair (February 2003), p. 116, Ask Dame Edna:
Dear Dame Edna,
I would very much like to learn a foreign language, preferably French or
Italian, but every time I mention this, people tell me to
learn Spanish instead. They say, "Everyone is going to be speaking Spanish
in 10
years. George W. Bush speaks Spanish." Could this be true? Are we all
going to have to speak Spanish?
Torn Romantic, Palm Beach

Dear Torn:
Forget Spanish. There's nothing in that language worth reading
except Don Quixote, and a quick listen to the CD of Man of La Mancha will
take care of that. There was a poet named Garcia Lorca, but I'd leave him
on the
intellectual back burner if I were you. As for everyone's speaking it,
what twaddle! Who speaks it that you are really desperate to talk to?
The help? Your leaf blower? Study French or German, where there are at
least a
few books worth reading, or, if you're American, try English.
Dame Edna
