Chimichangamalangarepaorale

So, leftist WaPo Columnist Dana Milbank "inadvertently" mocks latinos by stating "The Chimichanga? It may be the only thing Republicans have left to offer Latinos." And subsequently Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina tweets that this is "the line of the day" and the twitterverse is afire. Lots of Hispanic folks on the right side of [...]

Good Cubans

Another Cuban dissident dead at the hands of the castro regime and it will be business as usual today at the International Flights Terminal at Miami International Airport. The lines for the Miami to Havana flights will still be the same, with "gusanos" stuffed to the gills all over, brand new TV's and Playstations wrapped [...]

Wilmar Villar Mendoza died a hero, not only because of his courage to stand against the Goliath [...]

Outrageous Outrage!

The lead story in my Yahoo newsfeed this morning:
Outrage over 'human zoo' on islands
A video of tribal women lured to dance for tourists in exchange for food has rights groups crying foul.
It's in India, but it might as well be Cuba.

Intellectual Martyrs

Preface
Those of you that visit this blog often know that I have not written much of anything Cuba related here in quite some time. My reasons for this are varied, ranging from disillusionment to anger to frustration and quite a few other things in between. This includes a little nagging voice that reappears every so [...]

(The word "exceptional" falls way short in describing these young men and women as [...]

“The only ethnic group in America that it’s politically correct to attack.”

A message for WaPo's Manuel Roig-Franzia, from Marco Rubio, way back in 2008:

The Cuban-American community is a minority within a minority, and one that by all measures is over-represented economically, intellectually and politically in this country. In the eyes of the left and the liberal media, however, we are overachievers who do not toe the [...]

Peste a guapo…

Obama get's tough, shouts "Hold me back! Hold me back!":
When demanding approval of so-called jobs bill, Obama essentially threatened Republicans: If they vote against the legislation, the president said, then they’ll have to “explain to me” why they voted against it. On several occasions the president returned to this theme: voting against Stimulus II will [...]

El Comite Comes to Your Computer Screen

Have something negative to say about Barrack Obama? Be careful, you might want to curtail expressing your thoughts or opinions, or at least, do so only under the auspices of the privacy of your own home just like your family in Communist Cuba, as the Obama Campaign now has the cyber CDRS.

Thank you, Mr. President.
