Obama’s White House Graffiti

Audacious narcissism...
Conservatives are having a laugh after it surfaced that the official presidential biographies on the White House website have been updated to inject President Obama into history. But kidding aside, this is a truly disgraceful behavior. In the most egregious example, noted by the Heritage Foundation's Rory Cooper, the official Ronald Reagan biography is [...]

Barack Hussein Orwellian’s Enemies List

This, from somebody whose "official" trips (on the taxpayers' dollar) in the last few weeks are now being questioned.
I know it sounds so redundant, but Imagine if George W. Bush (or a republican) did this...
Try this thought experiment: You decide to donate money to Mitt Romney. You want change in the Oval Office, so you [...]

Mercedes channels Che Guevara

Under a huge portrait of Che Guevara, Mercedes' Dieter Zetsche touted a vision of car-sharing. (Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET
This image has been used sell everything from watches to baby clothes, and considering the number of t-shirts, and other items we see emblazoned with the murderous mug, you might wonder, why bother getting upset? 
I'll tell you why.  [...]

Castro and Cuba’s culture of poverty

This New Year's Day marks fifty-three years of Castro's iron fisted rule in Cuba. Fifty-three years of repression and misery for the Cuban people, a reality usually ignored by the press and so-called Cuba experts.  However, occasionally the truth slips through the wall of propaganda.
Good friend Roland Alum, a political anthropologist, wrote this timely article on [...]

Cuba’s fabricated concern for sustainable development

The pile of mierda from official sources in Cuba gets higher every day.  Now that Cubans can supposedly buy and sell cars and real estate, it seems they now also need to respect the image of their cities.  (The article is printed on toilet paper;  I won't link, but you know where to find it.)
Cuba, to [...]

Obama’s Razor

Obama's Razor - In any given situation, the most cynical explanation is usually the correct one with this administration. (HT: comment # 10 @ AoSHQ)
Given this administration's proclivity to take full advantage of any-given crisis situation and use it to the advantage of their agenda, do not believe they aren't above actually orchestrating a [...]

The Growing Underlying “Kristallnacht” Behind OWS and The Media Malpractice Enabling It

In the last few weeks only the blogs have exposed the anti-Semitic/anti-Jews videos and photos of the vocal rhetoric and signs evident in the crowd known as "Occupy Wall Street" (with satellite protests throughout other major cities in the country). Here is the latest on video. What is even more chilling is the woman in [...]

Vietnam giving Cuba lessons on rice growing

Really, is this the best propaganda Havana can come up with?  What an embarassment, considering that in Cuba before Castro,  the island nation of Cuba was ranked fourth in the region for rice production.  A fact from the UN FAO Yearbook 1961, p. 50.
Excerpt from Commodity Online:
Training course on rice cultivation techniques lectured by Vietnamese experts [...]
