Wild, wild horses, couldn’t keep Cubans from yearning for freedom

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Or wild colts, as the case may be.
Remember last year when Cuba’s chief propagandist, Ramiro Valdes, said Cuba needs to tame “the wild colt of new technologies” (meaning the Internet)?

Fark blogger: Castro’s “resignation” prompted by his death

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Make of this what you will, but I found it interesting. Fark blogger Drew Curtis comes to his own conclusion as to why Fidel Castro’s “resignation” was announced at 3AM and not at a more convenient time:

They’re ba-a-a-a-a-ck

Friday, February 8th, 2008

The Code Commie Pinko b**ches are at it again.
Whining about a “lack of free speech” in Miami, they’re going back to Miami–right in front of Versailles Resturant in Little Havana–tomorrow morning at 11AM.
I have to work but if you can be there to give them a warm Miami welcome, please do […]

The end is near for Castro

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Mueller goes on to say that some sources near Castro […]

Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet calls Castro apologists at UN to account

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Well, in a hypothetical post by Henry Gomez of Babalu Blog, anyway, the Useless Nations and the media are called to account for their tacit–and in some cases, wide open–support of Castro’s regime. Here’s a choice snippet:
But this body is not just guilty of inaction when confronted with deplorable crimes. Sadly it’s much […]
