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 [...]

There has been a media  blitz  of late to promote Juanita [c]astro’s new book that supposedly tells the “untold story” of her infamous family and tries to reclaim some of the family “honor” through “krakatoan revelations.” Blog friend and [c]astro scholar Dr. Mario Beira was brave enough to actually read Juanita’s book and has discovered [...]

Growing up in Cuba ,one of the things that caught my eye was the great visuals provided by the revolution, (pun intended).There wasn’t any food or clothing or toilet paper, but there was always visually stunning propaganda to wrap up the crap sandwich they were force feeding the “masses”, as they liked to call us. [...]

Ok so for all you wingnuts who have spent the last ten months whining about how President Obama is a narcissistic, American hating socialist who’s only interested in promoting himself, his cronies and in broadening his constituency by creating more poor people through progressive taxation, (something that you cynically refer to as wealth redistribution), here’s [...]

As we continue to slide into the abyss… They lit up The Empire State Building in Red and Yellow to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The People’s Republic of China last night. We’re not really celebrating fried rice, fortune cookies  and cheap flat - panel TV's here. We’re celebrating a system that has mass murdered [...]

It's common knowledge, at least to those that understand the laws of the marketplace, that there’s “no such thing as a free lunch.” But in the socialist worker’s paradise of Cuba, apparently there has been a “free” lunch to go along with the “free” education and healthcare. Really. Unfortunately though, the “free” lunch is coming [...]

The Obama administration has announced that it is resuming “migration” talks with the Cuban regime. The last set of migration talks between the US and the Cuban dictatorship resulted in turning escapees from the tropical gulag from refugees to migrants and in the “wet foot / dry foot” policy which magically turn the migrants back [...]

Everybody I’ve talked to the last couple of days is understandably bewildered and upset at Joe Biden’s advice on traveling and the Swine flue Panicdemic. Nobody is talking about an equally disturbing statement by our Secretary of State. That’s probably because it’s not publicized by a media which either doesn’t understand or doesn’t care or [...]

Ah! it’s May Day, May 1st- the communist high holy day. I hate May 1st. In Cuba’s worker’s paradise May Day  means songs, slogans and speeches-stupidity This year’s stupidity was pretty much the same as the previous 49 year’s stupidity: More work and sacrifice for the “revolution.” This year’s slogan: "Combative, productive and effective," [r]aúl [...]

America’s Leftover Left is in a state of egalitarian nirvana over the performance of “no-drama” Obama at the America’s Summit.  He acted humbly, they claim. But, not really, he humbled America, (again), by being submissive to the bitter, 53 minute anti-American rant of incestuous rapist Daniel Ortega to further cultivate his “no-drama” image.  The President’s [...]

Oh Boy! If you read the press coverage of what just went on at the Summit of the Americas you might get the impression that hell has just frozen over.  Or not.  All the coverage is about a “thaw” in US-Cuba relations…finally, thank Mother Earth!  If you read or listen to news, the buzz is [...]

We have all been reading about who wants who to fail in the news lately.  I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like a passenger in train that’s about to jump the tracks and, hell no, I don’t want the train wreck to succeed. You’d have to be nuts to want the conductor [...]

It has started-even before the beginning. The mother daughter of all community organizations is about to be born. I say the daughter because the mitochondrial DNA for this type of community organization, Cuba’s CDR’s - which exists solely to promote the cult of personality of its leader, was successfully pioneered by [f]idel [c]satro in Cuba. [...]

The Committee to Protect Journalists, CPJ, is commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the day the truth died in Cuba with a special report made up a series of articles that expose the reality of life in Cuba and the plight of those in Cuba that are dedicated to getting the truth out. Cuba's Long Black [...]

And just in case you weren’t in the holiday mood, here’s something that made me turn green and start seeing red. The Saint Petersburg Times has declared that Cuba is back to pre hurricane form…in just three months. Yes. Just three months after Cuba was gang battered by hurricanes, everything is back to “normal.” And [...]
