His performance-artist sister once ran a fantastic-looking burlesque act in which Caucasian men would be brought on stage to bite a burrito off her loins to "absolve themselves of 500 years of the white man's guilt."

    Quick question: Did this artistic (and I use the term loosely) liberal guilt-trip get NEA funding?

    I want my money back.

  2. cdunlea   22 years ago

    Chew that one over.

  3. D Lusional   22 years ago

    Shouldn't the headline be Finally a reason...?

  4. Matt Welch   22 years ago

    From the SF Weekly review (available at the link): "Bustamante skewers chastising feminists, New Age healing rituals, La Raza righteousness, and white guilt simultaneously."

  5. dhex   22 years ago

    well, what else are you going to do with a burrito strapon? 🙂

  6. Andrew Lynch   22 years ago

    For every child in California, a burrito!

  7. Brian   22 years ago

    Now there's someone who actually deserves to be Govenor of California! Is it too late to draft her?

  8. dude   22 years ago

    I'm pretty weird, but I draw the line at biting strap-on burritos off performance artists.

    Wonder what kind it was? Bean? Beef?

    Also, looks like a rather puny one there. She should get one from La Bamba - "Burritos as Big as Your Head!"(tm). . . that's enough for a crowd.

  9. boifromtroy   22 years ago

    La Salsa for lunch anyone?

    I've got the burrito pic on my blog...

  10. mike   22 years ago

    No doubt there's a store in San Francisco that offers a wide variety of comestible strap-ons, catering to all ethnicities.

  11. Brian Hawkins   22 years ago

    [homer]mmmmm...burrito strap-on...aaaaauuuhhh[/homer]

  12. Clement Vallandigham   22 years ago

    500 years of benefits from oppressing and exploiting people around the world, plus a tasty burrito as well?

    "Here's to 500 more years!!" (Chomp, munch, gulp)

  13. Douglas Fletcher   22 years ago

    She must be Catholic.

  14. TomHynes   22 years ago

    Dude:

    A little internet research would show that it was a vegan burrito.

    I could have sworn I'd read that Bustamente is entirely Spanish aka entirely of European descent. So maybe she should bite her own burrito?
