Watch this interesting video exchange:

Here's another story about it.

This is why Univision's ratings are through the roof.
They give an opportunity to those who make ass-umptions.
US Rep. Steve King easily qualifies.

Jorge Ramos asks those questions over and over so there is no DOUBT in the court that is the Media.

As delighted and smiling Britons finally got a glimpse of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s first appearance as parents, as well as a quick royal view of the future king, George Alexander Louis.

Kensington Palace released an official statement. The Royal couple wanted to show their appreciation, saying: “We would like to thank the staff at the Lindo Wing and the whole hospital for the tremendous care the three of us have received. We know it has been a very busy period for the hospital and we would like to thank everyone - staff, patients and visitors - for their understanding during this time.”

Check out the future British King George waving during his first photo opportunity: http://world.time.com/2013/07/23/oh-boy-britains-newborn-royal-prince-g…

City Island Images contacted our favorite inside UK source, a former member of British Parliament and the most famous of all BBC war correspondents, Martin Bell. He said "We Brits are doing OK. We have an heir to the throne. We won the Tour de France, Wimbledon, the rugby and the cricket. And in my old age I lecture on cruise ships and have become a published poet....much safer than the wars!"

Only some questions remain. Why did they name the bloke George Alexander Louis.? Do you think he looks more like his mom or his dad?

Do you dream of being the same size you were in high school or when you got married? That will take work if it means losing a lot of weight. Don’t rush. Setting small, realistic goals will get the scale moving in the right direction.

Start by trying to lose 5% to 10% of your weight, and give yourself plenty of time and some flexibility to reach that goal. Keep in mind that it takes most people about six months to achieve that degree of weight loss.
