but but but i thought when Obama was selected “The sky will open. The lights will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.” ht-HC..

besides, if the MSM doesn’t report them, they simply do
not exist, none of these things are happening, move on..

Another Czar Bites The Dust

In the flurry of news this week, you may have missed another body tossed under the insatiable Obama bus: Internet Czar Susan Crawford.

I have been reading Yoani`s blog for several years and was wondering how much rope Castro was going to give her and her fellow bloggers. A couple of days ago she posted how she disguised herself to get into a bloggers conference and voiced her opinions under the watchful eyes of Castros thugs. She is one brave lady. If obamaoa had half her cajones he still would be a man-child.

Very sorry to hear that. Went and checked Babalu (a favorite blog), give him the traffic – Castro’s regime won’t like the news spread. The brave Communists smacking bloggers, men and women around.

Just checked Babalu and the other links. Yoanni Sánchez is back home beaten (they worked them over expertly), but not cowed. She’ll be back. Had they really wanted to silence her, she would be gone by now as would the others. She is one brave lady.

I have a pet peeve. I keep hearing people say “cajones” (a cajón is a box in Spanish). The word you’re looking for is “cojones”. Madeline Albright mispronounced it and it stuck.

So, that’d be where michelle-o keeps barry’s “trinkets”?

In a “cojone cajone”?

Any comment from the Congressional Black Caucus? Anyone? Anyone? Thought so.

I just tried calling Michael Moore. I’m sure he’ll be shocked to hear that such oppression occurs in his little “island away from home”.

Nothing but right wing fanatics, those bloggers. My pal Fidel is just a big old teddy bear that needs a hug

It’s not Castro, it’s some rogue elements in his regime. Castro is a good guy.

Bloggers critical of their Cuban leaders being severely beaten and their media not reporting any of it?

No wonder the Left really admires the Castro regime!

God bless Yoani Sánchez, Orlando Luis
Pardo, Ciro Díaz and Claudia Cadelo..

prayers going out for all..

just a thought..

Obama’s “Fairness Doctrine” will be the American
Regime’s version of Castro’s “flog the bloggers”..
