Raul Castro offers to meet with Obama

So Raul is interviewed by none other than Sean Penn. Yes, the very same one I named asshole of the month a while back in some post I don't care to look up. I don't believe he's an asshole for kissing up to the Cuban government. I believe he's an asshole for not doing his research and blindly believing in anything that he hears from the mouths of the castros. I mean, shit, anybody can do the math and arrive at the conclusions themselves. Ask questions, hard questions, don't just sit there and let them feed you whatever they deem.

So Sean, Mr. Reporter has discovered warm water. Wonder what he would do if he figured out that the castros are actually full of shit...

Three days too many

Spent like, three days in Cuba a few weeks ago. Three days too many. I am flabberghasted by the amount of bullshit that can be exhumed in one country at any one time. I happened to turn on the TV one night during my long stay and saw a sort of documentary where they were showing how poor Cuba was before the castros. What an awesome display of marketing genius!

This castro is too much. I guess that saying that if you repeat a lie long enough, it turns into truth is really real.

Obama is black?

Americans never cease to amaze me. Since this whole election shit began, everyone talking about the election has somehow, miraculously, incredibly, missed the fact that Obama is... gasp!, black! "Had I known this before..." and "Well!, who would have known?"

I have a friend who lives in the states. His exact words when I questioned him on what he thought about who would win the election? "People support him [Obama] now, but when they go into the voting booth, they'll vote for McCain because they won't be able to bring themselves to vote for a black guy." This makes more sense than the pussy-footing the US is doing to try to look a little less racial than what you really are. A nigger in the white house, hell no!

So congratulations to all of you in the US who are color blind. Congratulations to all of you who really don't have a clue. Your hypocrisy is showing. You walk around trying to ignore the fact that Obama is black, and in spite of yourselves, you may just have to contend with the first black man in the white house. Too funny.

The race issue exists, you just won't admit it.

Make-Believe Maverick, The Real John MacCain...

Every once in a while, a story comes into view that reverberates with interesting angles, and damning sub-plots. While the Rolling Stone magazine may not be what everyone would call the pillar of reporting, its article about John MacCain is certainly a good read.

Here are some excerpts:

"At Fort McNair, an army base located along the Potomac River in the nation's capital, a chance reunion takes place one day between two former POWs. It's the spring of 1974, and Navy commander John Sidney McCain III has returned home from the experience in Hanoi that, according to legend, transformed him from a callow and reckless youth into a serious man of patriotism and purpose. Walking along the grounds at Fort McNair, McCain runs into John Dramesi, an Air Force lieutenant colonel who was also imprisoned and tortured in Vietnam.

McCain is studying at the National War College, a prestigious graduate program he had to pull strings with the Secretary of the Navy to get into. Dramesi is enrolled, on his own merit, at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces in the building next door.

There's a distance between the two men that belies their shared experience in North Vietnam — call it an honor gap. Like many American POWs, McCain broke down under torture and offered a "confession" to his North Vietnamese captors. Dramesi, in contrast, attempted two daring escapes. For the second he was brutalized for a month with daily torture sessions that nearly killed him. His partner in the escape, Lt. Col. Ed Atterberry, didn't survive the mistreatment. But Dramesi never said a disloyal word, and for his heroism was awarded two Air Force Crosses, one of the service's highest distinctions. McCain would later hail him as "one of the toughest guys I've ever met."

It's a ten page story.

Have fun reading.

"To watch the Republican National Convention and listen to Fred Thompson's account of John McCain's internment in Vietnam, you would think that McCain never gave his captors anything beyond his name, rank, service number and, under duress, the names of the Green Bay Packers offensive line. His time in Hanoi, we're to understand, steeled the man — transforming him from a fighter jock who put himself first into a patriot who would henceforth selflessly serve the public good."

"Only two weeks after his capture, the North Vietnamese press issued a report — picked up by The New York Times — in which McCain was quoted as saying that the war was "moving to the advantage of North Vietnam and the United States appears to be isolated." He also provided the name of his ship, the number of raids he had flown, his squadron number and the target of his final raid."

Par for the course, all politicians are not what they say they are. Hell, not even Obama is as pure as we think him to be. Nobody actually is. It is the fault of the US citizens to look for saints where they shouldn't. A president should not be a saint, he should be a good leader. Do you have any? I doubt it. I still believe Obama is the lesser of two evils.

Help Finally Arrives, But...


The picture above shows the devastation left behind when hurricane IKE left the island via Pinar del Rio. But, Cubans everywhere should be happy to hear the following news. Help has begun to arrive. In their latest article on Cuba and its struggle through Ike, the Miami Herald reports that Brazil sent a plane! Help is finally ont he way. Good! Great! Next! We all chalk up the Cuban crisis as being taken care of.

But wait! In the same article, the Brazilian Ambassador is quoted as saying; "serán distribuidos entre los damnificados que más los necesiten, cuando se conozca un balance de las zonas afectadas", for those of you who don't speak Spanish or read it, the asshole says, "will be distributed among the victims who most need it, when a balance of the affected zones is known".

I did a double take, wait! you mean you don't know what the affected areas are? You haven't taken a balance of the affected areas? Let me get this straight, there are kids with nothing to eat, people with no roof over their heads, people living in the middle of the goddamned streets and you want to take a balance? You fucks! But this is not new, so why bother? Cubans have been sidelined before. Marginalized by their very own countrymen when those who claim to be patriotic and human like to reinforce the embargo. When those same assholes who support the embargo shout out on boards and blogs, if they want to get rid of castro, let them rise and form a new revolution.

You fucking idiots, nine tenths of the Cuban population won't rise up because they expect to be able to imitate your fucking asses and leave! You fucking bunch of hypocritical pieces of shit! You sit at your computers in a cushy job at a cushy couch and extoll the graces of standing up to castro and his cronies. Just like you did huh? Yeah, I bet you stood up, but only to leave.

Hyocritical two faced bastards. You don't care about those who in Cuba are now hungry, desperate to feed their kids. With nowhere to go. You tell them to rise up and shake themselves free of their oppressors. You fucking disgust me. All of Miami should be up in arms now to have the US send help to Cuba without conditions and without end. Flood fucking Cuba with food and clothing and aid, and let the government explain to the people why they will not pass it out, or why they are selling it at the state owned stores.

But no, it is easier to point fingers while people die. Or do you not think they will die? You probably do, but turning your heads is just as easy as continuing your revenge laden politics. You ought to all be ashamed of yourselves. Instead of asking the Cuban government to open its doors to help, which you know damm fucking well they won't, you should be protesting the policy which right now will aid the castros in killing all the damnified.

Fuck you piss me off! Fuck you all!
