50. The spirits should not have any trouble finding Walter to passon their messages with him dressed in this get , Lol. Then again, the orbs may see that suit and hide, or bounce right off of it. Paranormal is the correct descriptive word here.

51. Your comment:


Like it or not, Walter Mercado IS a very admired and loved
personality among Hispanic people. He might be a little
"flamboyant", as you put it, but is also a person full of love,
compassion and wisdom... He is the kind of human being that only opens his mouth to say positive things. Unlike many of
us, specially those so-called "hispanic, born and raised", who prefer
to agree with whatever nasty remark comes from those unfamiliar and
disgusted with our ethnic group. Now matter how hard you try,
sounding like a red neck won't make you fit in, sweetie pie!

52. And THAT is my point, people. Latino people freaking LOVE trannies!!!!! They do. You will always see a man dressed as a woman on all their shows. Not to mention they love showing midgets hugging large-breasted models in bikinis for some reason too....what's up wtih that?
