In the two weeks plus after the Boston Marathon bombings, we have learned quite a bit about the terrorists and their family. One scandalous fact is that these cretins had received welfare benefits.   Imagine that, immigrants that are welcomed into the best country on earth, provided with security and an education and even public assistance, repay [...]

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today! We're born again, there's new grass on the field. It’s the first day of spring-when a young man’s fancy turns to…beisbol. I’m no young man, but my thoughts did turn to beisbol and Cuba today. Yes, beisbol; Cuba’s passion and yes, the beisbol [...]

And so 2013 is starting out pretty good for the Cuban regime: [r]aul gets to be the president of something called CELAC, Chavismo seems to be entrenched in Venezuela, guaranteeing the flow of oil subsidies to the island prison, Obama starts his second term, nominating John Kerry for State and brining [c]astro loving Chuck Hagel [...]

“We, the people” President Obama’s second inaugural address was all about the “We” as in “We, the people”… An unusual thing for a president often labeled as a narcissist due to the liberal use of “me” and “I” in his speeches. He used the word 63 times by my count. The word “we” accounted for [...]

Since all the cool kids are doing it, I’m joining in today’s Pope-Pile-On. I once saw a living saint. In the swamps of Jersey. In the pouring rain. John Paul II.  God, there was something about that old man’s eyes. The passion, the conviction, the kindness. He was … well, the Pope. He was the [...]

The Pope’s visit to Cuba is a popular topic in the MSM these days. Since the visit will commemorate the 400th anniversary of “Cachita’s” appearance, you’d think that the American press would use the opportunity to recount the beautiful story of Our Lady of Charity’s apparition to the 3 fishermen. The story is tailor made [...]

So President Obama came to Miami last week. At “The U” he shocked the world by proclaiming the end of humanity’s energy problems: Algae: "We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline and diesel and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance -- algae,"… "You’ve got a bunch of algae out here, [...]

Gusano didn’t go church today. But the Church came to Gusano. It came like a slap to the face. A confirmation of sorts. So instead of church I get online and torture myself with some Cuba news. Communing with misery, if you will.  Anyway, I come across an article on Cardinal Ortega, head of the Cuban Catholic [...]

And so the New York Times continues to carry all the water it can for the “social experiment” it helped create, has championed and defended for 53 years. In a recent “article” about [r]aul’s real estate “reforms,” The Gray Lady whitewashes over the crumbling walls of that huge slum called Cuba. I guess the title [...]

Ok so everywhere you look, you read about the growing irrelevancy of Barack Obama. The left is angry that he doesn’t stand up to the right, who see Obama as the most leftist president in history. No respect. The approval poll numbers are dismal. Democratic politicians running for empty congress seats in dark blue districts [...]

As the “far left” contributor on the blog I wanted to share my recent experience in being better able to relate to Michelle Obama. Remember when Michelle got a bunch of crap when she said “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country” back when her husband’s hope and [...]

Darn! What a bummer. The socialist paradise on the Caribbean is being sucked into a 52 year – wide black hole of its own creation and some self centered “reporter” by the name of Portia Siegelbaum, who must have graduated from the Anita Snow School of communist propaganda regurgitation, is so bummed she felt compelled [...]

And so we learn that Libyan “leader,” as the press calls him, Maummar Gadaffi has resorted to unleashing the hellfire of his war planes on the Libyan citizens that are clamoring to be free of his 42 years of “leadership.” That’s what despots do, turn their armies on their people. That’s why they have them. [...]

Thomas Jefferson once wrote a letter in which he used the phrase a “wall of separation between Church & State.” Recently,  it seems  the word “wall” has been replaced with the word “war” unless, of course, it’s campaign season – at which time politicians trip all over each other to tear the Jeffersonian wall down [...]

Well at least I get to watch a bunch of idol wannabe’s make fools of themselves on American Idol tonight and I can laugh.   Last night, another American Idol who got his crown after, as Ryan Seacrest would say, “America Voted…”  did not make me laugh.   I remember back in June of ’08 [...]
