Feed“Peoria Portal?”
January 30, 2004 in Citizen Journalism
I hear from my friend/co-worker Alex
that the word “Peoria” translates into the word “portal” in several
Basque dialects.
So, when Basques visited my site looking for Alex’s guest post
nation, many were thrilled to have discovered a Basque-language version
of Yahoo or MSN.
Instead, they found a 40-year-old former journalist’s rantings and
rumblings about his small, midwestern city.
Sorry to disappoint.
*BTW:* Alex bored me to tears held my rapt attention with yet another
tale of how his ancient computer failed him as he was working on a
letter protesting treatment of Basque Mexican nationals within Mexico.
They were accused of supporting Basque terrorist causes.
I think I am going to have to hold an Internet fundraising drive so Alex
can buy a new computer. It’s for the good of the Basque nation, after all.
