BREAKING: Magnitude 5.6 quake near Guantanamo

Just saw this on Drudge:
HAVANA (Reuters) - A 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck near the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo in eastern Cuba, on Saturday and was felt in the island's second city of Santiago de Cuba.
A spokesman at the Guantanamo base said no damage was reported there.
In Santiago de Cuba, about 32 miles from the epicenter, [...]

A day late and a dollar short

Editorial from the local accessory after the fact, The Miami Herald, on the Black Spring anniversary:
Cuba's brutality
OUR OPINION: World leaders should back peaceful protesters
In a democracy, people can disagree. They can march to protest their government, they can chastise their elected officials in public forums, they can walk down the street carrying placards voicing their [...]

A friendly reminder for the weekend

Vote "NO" to the Socialist takeover of health care...

Reflections on the Revolution in America

From Victor Davis Hanson: "Reflections on the Revolution in America."
These are exciting though scary revolutionary times, akin to the constant acrimony in the fourth-century BC polis, mid-nineteenth century revolutionary Europe, or — perhaps in a geriatric replay — the 1960s. This is an era when the fundamental assumptions of the individual and [...]

Marco Rubio’s statement on the anniversary of The Black Spring

Received a while ago...
MARCO RUBIO COMMENTS ON 7TH ANNIVERSARY OF CUBAN REGIME’S BLACK SPRING CRACKDOWN ON PRO-DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
Seven years ago today in Cuba, 75 pro-democracy leaders, journalists and human rights activists were arrested, summarily tried and imprisoned for sentences of up to 28 years.  According to the regime, their alleged violations included acting on their [...]

The Black Spring of journalism

My colleagues here at Babalu have written eloquently about the Black Spring of 2003 so I won't repeat what they've written. I will, however, mention what I think is the second-most important issue revolving around this crisis: the evil -- yes evil -- behavior on the part of the mainstream media. As Thomas Jefferson once [...]

Remember real hope and change?

Yes, I do, Ed. Yes, I do...

A question for libs

We know all you progressive lobotomy cases call Fox News, "Faux" News, and rail and scream that it's a Republican mouthpiece news organization, yada, yada, yada. So I have a question for you (if you can put down your strained carrots and crayons for long enough to answer): when President Obama appears on Fox News [...]

Can the left be more blatant?

Forget the article; look at the accompanying image. A cross and a halo. Okay, we get it. We know. You worship him.

‘The Pacific’

This coming Sunday, HBO will present The Pacific, the long-awaited companion piece to, what I believe is the finest portrayal of World War II in any medium, Band of Brothers. It is unfortunate that even before one minute is aired, controversy has erupted because of a statement Tom Hanks made to historian Douglas Brinkley in [...]

‘Jihad Jane’

No danger here. These aren't the jihadis you're looking for. Move along....

New York’s Stalinist legislators at it again

Salt ban proposed in New York.

Nothing is safe from this administration

Not even fishing...
(H/T Maggie at Infidels Paradise)

Just like a box of Cracker Jack! Surprise!

The epitome of a lying Democrat:
“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President’s economic [...]

And now a word from the Progressive Coalition

M. Ahmadinejad (D-Iran)

Iran's Ahmadinejad calls Sept 11 big fabrication:
"The September 11 incident was a big fabrication as a pretext for the campaign against terrorism and a prelude for staging an invasion against Afghanistan."
Is he to be the next keynote speaker at the Democrat National Convention?

I’m ashamed…

Algore: tyranny good, climate change bad

In The American Thinker Rick Moran dissects Algore's op-ed on climate change in The New York Times apart.
As a side note, here is a phrase from Algore's piece that should scare the crap out of every lover of liberty:
From the standpoint of governance, what is at stake is our ability to use the rule [...]

Hilarious!

Glenn Beck & Pat Gray act out letters that Obama reads every night...

A little humor to lighten the load of the day.

“We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.”

Maggie at Infidels paradise has very interesting story. It seems that loony lefty loudmouth Alan Grayson's sorry ass was saved by Blackwater operatives in Niger when a coup took place during his visit. I'll link to her but not to the red rag that reported it:
Earlier today I reported on the testimony of Fred Roitz, [...]
