Truth stranger than fiction?

From an actual July 2, 2007 Babalu post
Was che another species? I leave you to decide.
Today, Fontova has found that truth is truly stranger than fiction - the man who made the new ape movie really was inspired by the similarities between the apes and his hero:
'Rise of the Apes' Director: Film's Hero Inspired By [...]

Chile Celebrates A Different Kind Of May Day

Everyone knows what castro's idea of May Day is - tanks, turbas, thugs and long, long, long speeches about dictatorship of the proletariat and yanqui imperialismo. It's hard to mess up a holiday to the extent he has.
castro and Allende: Love
But over in Chile, a nation that in 1973 escaped castro's grasp, fought him off [...]

Hillary teams with Cuba for “free” Haiti castrocare

The U.S. and Cuba held a rare, unusual, unprecedented meeting over at the United Nations yesterday. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, Cheryl Mills was there, sitting down to talks with Bruno Rodriguez, the foreign minister of Cuba.
It would be normal to think the topic of this meeting would be Cuba's political prisoners, given that Cubans [...]

Singing Of Cuba Without Ever Seeing it

Music is a great uniter. It requires no wealth to make, and is loved by rich and poor alike. It cracks class barriers and makes all races beautiful. In the most oppressed slave societies, music is all they have.
It unites because even if you don't understand the language, can't pronounce the name of the singer, [...]

Cheer Up, Israel. You’ve Got Company: Colombia

I got into a shouting match with a union thug today over Colombia. He ran a big famous labor union and screamed 'murder' to me as reason enough not to support the Colombia Free Trade Agreement, spouting one lie after another about Colombia's human rights record. I didn't want to be fed a load, so [...]

So what’s the source of all the dead-castro rumors?

The dead-castro rumors are coming from somewhere. They seem to come every Friday night anymore, almost as if on some kind of pattern.
castroites of course are prime suspects as leakers, desperate to give the Bronx cheer to the Miami Cubans who are always so disappointed when the monster doesn't die. They even have a sense [...]

castro’s Mexican gas attacks

Anyone remember those strange attacks on Mexican natural gas pipelines that wrought havoc on central Mexico last month? A pathetic little leftist group called EPR said they did them in a bid to get their comrades out of jail in Oaxaca, a southern Mexican state where a leftist insurgency is festering. The EPR used to [...]

Try again, chumps, it’s not proof of life

castroites must take the world for idiots because they're trying to fob off on us castro's version of pre-revolutionary history in some old tome as proof that their dictator is alive and well. Today they ran an essay purported to be by the bearded beast in today's Juventud Rebelion (in a dictatorship that kills youth [...]

Hitting it on the head

For a long time, I've been concerned about Colombia. Here is it, best friend the United States has right now in Latin America and congressional Democrats are treating it like an enemy, slamming the door on free trade to this valued friend and the most important country out there opposing castro and Venezuelan dictator Oogo [...]

Has Oogo let the cat out of the bag?

raul castro cannot stand the big lunkheaded Thug Of Caracas. Sure he likes his money, but Hugo Chavez's persona is a different matter. raul, after all, is a disciplined military man of sorts. He's also a Marxist ideologue, far more so than his evil bearded brother. While fidel is grandiose and theatrical, cold and calculating, [...]

Fausta’s take on the bearded beast

Fausta Wertz, who's originally from Puerto Rico, has been monitoring the castroite press and has a very insightful take on the meaning of the monster's imminent passing. Read it here.

Who’s paying for this?

So the Cuban Five, the passel of malevolent castroite agents convicted in Atlanta for espionage against U.S. citizens who happen to live in Miami, are now getting yet another court appeal on Monday, this time claiming the prosecution was brimming with errors. They had no such objections when the trial was going on. They only [...]

castro paying his debts late

castro is famous for his debt defaults and any banker who would do business with him damn well deserves to lose his money. An impressive banker for Citibank, named Bill Rhodes, reminisced about his banking experiences around the world for the Financial Times, and though these restructurings didn't involve Cuba, he was always the man [...]

As Hurricane Dean Passes Over Cuba…

...check out what Hog On Ice has to say about castro's vaunted civil defense system that so draws the drooly praise of assorted United Nations inspectors here. The difference between ours and theirs is personal freedom. The UN is clueless about this little detail. But this piece knows the deal. Killer reading.

From Los Angeles – Perez Hilton Hearing Very Loud Dead-castro Rumors

FWIW - Blogger Perez Hilton, who gets seven million hits a day for his coverage of celebrities, tells us he's hearing very loud dead-castro rumors from his Miami sources. He hasn't been able to confirm it for sure either, but he says it's never been like this before. National Post tracked him down and got [...]

Obama & Edwards: Morons gone wild

Fresh from pandering to La Raza's rabid radicals in Miami this weekend, Barack Obama and John 'Hairspray' Edwards announced at the Democratic presidential debate tonight that they'd be happy to meet with fidel castro and Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who this weekend declared himself El Presidente For LIfe.
I kid you not. Miami Herald reports:
Democratic presidential [...]

Cubazuelification

Our friend Daniel in Venezuela has a photograph of a big government ad that's running in the local newspapers around Caracas, touting a big healthcare clinic, and most tellingly showing that the flag of Venezuela has now been superceded by the flag of Cuba, in a communist insult to both countries. Lotsa phony propaganda on [...]

Fontova Gets Word Out Even Further About che

Humberto Fontova has been doing historic and frankly, heroic, work getting the truth out about Cuba's mass murderers like che guevara who's otherwise resurging in the mass media and on Tshirts. He's one of the few voices out there getting the word out ... and winning, because I think he's almost singlehandedly changing how the [...]

che Chic, Peruvian style (Updated)

Update Sunday night, June 24, by Pitbull: It seems that Cameron Diaz has apologized to Peruvians for the Mao bag. Dear, here's a hint: READ A FUCKING BOOK ABOUT THE COUNTRY YOU ARE VISITING. Then maybe you'll understand why Peruvians are pissed off when you have a bag that reminds them of 70,000 dead thanks [...]
