What's English for "enchilada"?

The same Republicans who worry that people might be prevented from saying Merry Christmas to each other want to deny extended unemployment benefits to millions of unemployed workers. By the way, these are the same people who think the Pope doesn't understand Christianity. Happy Holidays, er, I mean, Merry Christmas!............... President Obama continued the War on Christmas as he invited Jewish leaders and representatives from Israel to two White House receptions yesterday celebrating the end of Hanukkah....... The President continued to insult Republicans everywhere when he was heard to say over an open mic that he hoped everyone has a happy holiday and safe trip home........................................... In Texas, a local school now prohibits the speaking of Spanish; I wonder how the kids order an enchilada or a burrito in the school cafeteria......... What's English for "enchilada"? ...................................................... It's been a bad week for Republicans: The Obamacare website is now working, the Republican National Committee sent out a Rosa Parks tweet celebrating the end of racism, and Rush Limbaugh called the Pope a Marxist. All three developments will have ramifications. They also dispatched Kentucky Senator Rand Paul to Detroit to establish a minority outreach office for Republicans. I'm still trying to process the possible thinking on this. He seems so - white - and he believes that white business owners have the right to not serve black people....... The unemployment rate dropped to 7% this last month; outraged Republicans vow to fight........................................................ Breaking News: NU Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst announced today that Bo Pelini's new contract will include a provision for two weeks at the Emily Post Etiquette Institute in Burlington, VT. "If we can just get him to lift his pinkie when sipping tea all should be well," Shawn sighed. In addition, Eichorst is considering adding a new coaching position: Bo Pelini's sideline/press conference personal behavior management aide. This could be the world's most dangerous job. ................................................... Amazon announced it is developing small "octocopter" drones to deliver packages within half an hour. UPS and FEDEX are considering using artillery shell delivery systems that can shoot packages as heavy as a Volkswagen Beetle up to 25 miles. "We're still working out the details," a spokesperson said, "but we think we can have packages come crashing into your front yards within 20 minutes." ............................................................ More strange things about my family: more than one of my siblings and in-laws will pour milk (or even apple juice) on cereal and then walk away to do God knows what. Five minutes later, they'll sit down and eat the cereal. That's just crazy. For me, you have about three seconds to take the first spoonful after pouring the milk and about 45 seconds to eat the whole bowl. Any longer than that and you might as well let the dog lick it up. And then they'll leave the milk out on the table for 45 minutes while they sit around and chat and check their fb pages and email. They mock me for wanting to put the milk away. I am so unappreciated..................................................... Walmart claims its Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday and holiday sales so far have been a great success in that no one has been killed.
