It's easy to declare victory even though BUCL's Campaign Against Spanish "Explosion" of Cubans fired nary a sticker there.
Regardless of the real results of their ill-conceived and executed campaign, and even if the "Battle of the Three Stickers" is its bootless culmination, Val & Henry are just shameless enough to claim, and their acolytes gullible enough to believe, that they were the decisive factor in Zapatero's recent electoral setback and future and inevitable defeat in the next elections.
Our prescient friend Charlie Bravo predicted that they would claim credit for it, and I am sure he is going to be proven right.
So, go ahead, Val & Henry, declare victory in your war against Spain and announce BUCL's next campaign (I shudder to think what that will be). From the wells of such immemorial ignorance, we can expect anything.
When all is said and done, the rain in Spain still falls mainly on the plain.

ReplyDeleteLol Manuel this is too damn funny to think that Rice has taken notice of the de-bucl campaign, I can't believe that Val and his cohorts are so gullible to believe that they have made a difference in the way Spain voted, what world are they living in?

ReplyDeleteBeing 24 years old at this time must be wonderful. Ah, the wonders you will live to see, not just the return of freedom and democracy to our country but Cuba again at the head of Latin America in all areas where it matters, the hope and paragon of the Hispanic world, as it was once and will be again.
You made some very interesting points here and you're right...Interesting post indeed, and I must say i'm not surprised.
ReplyDeleteTallachea aunque el BUCL campaign no haga cambios sustanciales por lo menos damos a conocer el problema para que se hable de el internacionalmente. Creo que te vas a tener que meter la lengua y la pluma por el fondillo ahora que los españoles han copiado en español la razon de ser de BUCL campaign...

Frederick the Great said it best, "It is pardonable to be defeated, but never surprised." Keep Your Friends Close, and Your Enemies Closer..Good Observation Manuel...
