Thanks Mom, for sending me this.
El travieso Pepito, sí, ese mismo, el de los chistes cubanos, ya no vive en Cuba, ahora reside en Hialeah, Fl, y en la escuela, a la que asiste, un maestro le pregunta a su clase de sexto grado, en la que se encuentra Pepito, que "cúantos de ellos eran [...]

Remember Maria Isabel? You know the Houston area Obama precinct captain that hung a defaced Cuban flag with the image of the murderous Che Guevara in her volunteer campaign office. Well back when it happened the Obama campaign tried to distance itself from her, and by extension the image of the butcher of [...]

That's the pithy comment left by one reader on my latest column for Pajamas Media.

Don't know if anyone posted this already but here goes...

Our own Val Prieto is on his way to the Radio Mambi studios to appear on Lourdes D'Kendall's show at 10:00 AM.  Listen live here.

My facebook friend Vanessa Alonso posted this to her blog this morning. Errors in translation are mine alone.

Why do the old men at Versailles yell?
Hand in hand we passed through the doorway. I, an imperialist hoaxster, invited you to drink Bacardi at the preferred site of the "Cuban Mafia" and it didn’t [...]

It seems that the U.S. trade embargo on Cuba is the constant thread of the narrative here at Babalu Blog and wherever the issue of Cuba and its dictatorship is discussed. It feels like every day someone new comes along and says, “well it hasn’t worked in fifty years so isn’t time to try something [...]

The other day Charlie Crist compared himself to Ronald Reagan, saying that if he's a RINO then Reagan must have been a RINO too because Reagan was pragmatic. I explained how Reagan was was in fact an ideologue who also knew how to prioritize and negotiate to get what he wanted most. If [...]

Remember that Marco Rubio needs your help raising money as we approach the anniversary of the famous hug. Here's Good Time Charlie trying claim he wasn't in favor of the president's "stimulus" package which all conservatives called "porkulus" at the time and that now Charlie calls "the darn thing".

No Charlie, you didn't have a [...]

Explains his stance on the Census and illegal immigrants.

In the "you have to laugh" department today Charlie Crist compared himself to Reagan on CBS' Early Show.
“If I'm a RINO, then so is Ronald Reagan. I'm [a] less taxing, less spending, less government, more freedom kind of guy and I just take a pragmatic common sense approach to government. And if that's not what [...]

Mike Fasano, a Republican state senator from New Port Richey who is supporting Charlie Crist in his run for the Republican Senate nomination had this to say to the Miami Herald:
"How worried am I? On a scale of one to 10, I'm about seven,'' said state Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, who wants the [...]

Goodtime Charlie Crist, who is down by 12 points in the latest Rasmussen poll of Republicans in Florida, is resorting to some desperate and dishonest measures in trying to stop the bleeding.
He is currently running an ad in which he purports that Marco Rubio is in favor of a "cap & trade" system to regulate [...]

In the New York Times (of course).
A decrease in water vapor concentrations in parts of the middle atmosphere has contributed to a slowing of Earth’s warming, researchers are reporting. The finding, they said, offers part of the explanation for a string of years with relatively stable global surface temperatures.
Down at the bottom is the Times [...]

Classic:
Barack Obama tiptoed Wednesday night along the seam that bifurcates the Democratic Party's brain... The dominant liberal lobe favors Adams's dictum that politicians should not be "palsied by the will of our constituents." It exhorts Democrats to smack Americans with what is good for them -- health-care reform, carbon rationing, etc. -- even if the [...]

One of our regular readers sends us this message:
I found out the other day that a friend of mine from high school has been missing since Jan. 16. Is there any way you can post this on Babalu. You guys get thousands of hits a day and thought maybe someone might know something. Below is [...]

Tonight Glen Beck will broadcast a special on Fox News called "The Revolutionary Holocaust" about one of the most undertold stories in human history, how hundreds of millions have died at the hands of leftists over the last century. I'm told that among the villains that will be profiled is Hollywood's favorite executioner, Che [...]

I found this laughable remark courtesy of Hot Air:
"[Scott Brown] sounds like a Charlie Crist Republican, from what I heard," Mr. Crist said. "Very pragmatic, reasonable, conservative, that understands that the people are in charge and you need to listen to them and serve with a servant's heart."
Maybe so, Charlie. One thing though. [...]

You know what the amazing thing about Democrats and liberals is? Their distorted views of reality. Case in point: A Miami Herald article about White House advisor David Axelrod and how he thinks the GOP is destroying itself.
``You have to wonder if whether that's a party that's moving into the mainstream [...]
