i like words here's one for your obama lexicon
ReplyDeleteobama-angst - a feeling of dread, melancholy or terryfying emotion from the idea that an obama change is on the way.
Obamadoom a feeling he just may talk to Raul and doom Cuba to another 50 years of hell.
ReplyDeleteVana:
ReplyDeleteI love "obamadoom."
corgiguy:
ReplyDelete"Obama-angst" isn't bad, either. However, I have a different definition for it:
obama-angst: The American-version of El derecho de nacer
LMAO..Manuel
ReplyDeleteObamadoom a feeling he just may talk to Raul and doom Cuba to another 50 years of hell.
ReplyDeleteVana tu quisistes decir MCCaindoom
piensa bien antes de hablar dear
Or vana, maybe America's inaction will doom Cuba for another 40 years. You seem vey content with the status quo in Cuba.
ReplyDeleteJohn:
ReplyDeleteYou must be kidding, I want real change in Cuba, not just a bandaid.

ReplyDeleteVana,
ReplyDeleteOk, you are President for the day. What would you to to move Cuba to freedom.
P.S.
And please dont saying nothing like your hero George W.Bush.
john:
ReplyDeleteIf I may presume to answer the question that you posed to Vana.
If I were POTUS:
Give Castro and his clique 24-hours to depart the island with their hides and loot.
If they do not:
Impose a real embargo (you know, ships encircling the island).
Again offer them the opportunity to escape with hides and loot if they do so within 24-hours.
I assure you that they wouldn't need a second invitation.
Old men like to enjoy their declining years in comfort and security and Saddam Hussein's end weighs heavily on all of them.
Ohh-bummm-ahhh, my latest mantra.

MaT,
ReplyDeleteI just had a vision of Marines checking behind Raul's ear for head lice ala Saddam Hussein. . .

John:
ReplyDeleteThey will not refuse.
fantomas:
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt that there will be demonstrations orquested by lower-echelon Castro officials while the higher echelons are gathering their gold, stocks, property deeds in foreign countries and Swiss bankbooks.
fanto, remember
ReplyDeleteA revolution without dancing...is a revolution not worth having.
agustin sorry
ReplyDeleteout of place comment
mat,
ReplyDeleteI figured you would avoid the question. The only choice would be to invade Cuba. And you "know" that America would not send their sons and daughters to die for the Cubans.
Therefore, like Vana, you would do nothing about Cuba's freedom, just like Bush.
Mat , take a look at the picture I just posted on my humble blog and the little reseña que la acompaña

ReplyDeleteJust what Manuel said, am off to work, would like nothing more than to hang with this fine crowd all day, but duty calls.
nonee,
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is not a put down. But i have grown rather concerned about your well-being. You used to make sense to me. But now, it is like your a mental patient, whose Doctors allow you one visitation per day.
I seriously hope you get better soon.
Sincerely,

John:
ReplyDeleteNoone has never been allowed more than one visit a day.

BLOGUERA CUBANA ENTRE LOS CIEN MAS INFLUYENTES EN EL MUNDO
1 de Mayo de 2008
Yoani Sánchez
La internauta cubana Yoani Sánchez fue seleccionada por la revista Time entre las 100 personas más influyentes del mundo en la lista divulgada este jueves por la publicación estadounidense.
La joven Licenciada en Filología aparece en la categoría de Héroes y Pioneros, junto a la líder de la oposición birmana y Premio Nóbel de la Paz, Aung San Suu Kyi.
En la lista de Time aparecen el magnate de los medios de prensa Rupert Murdoch, el Dalai Lama, el mandatario chino Hu Jintao, el presidente de Estados Unidos, George W. Bush, y el actor George Clooney, entre otras figuras de relieve internacional.
Yoani Sánchez, autora del blog Generación Y, fue galardonada este año con el premio Ortega y Gasset de periodismo 2008, que concede el diario español El País.
Los trabajos de la cibernauta de 32 años se destacan por una visión crítica de la realidad de Cuba. En marzo pasado, Sánchez escribió en su página que censores anónimos habían querido bloquear su espacio cibernético para que sus compatriotas no puedan leerlo.
José Luis Ramos tiene más sobre esta noticia.
Wasn't that Yoani chic the same gal that the authors of Babalu and others were fingering as a suspected commie until a few days ago?
ReplyDeleteI hope they put their heads in the toilet and flush several times.
Yeah, Simón, this is she!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes Simon, that is the same Yoani, Val has changed his mind, he now claims he spawned her
ReplyDeleteLol Agustin good one!
ReplyDeleteCorgiguy, let's make a hit out of that rap you came up with..lol..
Manuel:
ReplyDeleteBTW you left us hanging, what was Marti's answer?
Vana:
ReplyDeleteI am saving that for May 19.
But I do not think that I am giving much away when I say that you hit the nail on the head last night.
The answer, of course, is "yes."
Of course Manuel, Marti was too sympathetic of other's pain to say otherwise, what an awsome man, makes one feel ashamed.
ReplyDeletemanny que quede claro yo apoyo lo que hace joani pero como dice mi amigo alex hernandez esto todavia hay que tomarlo con pinzas
ReplyDeletewhy has not she been shut down by the g2
suena raro todo esto
mat no te emopciones mucho con marti
ReplyDeletea mi me dijeron que era un singon de pelicula
inclusive cogia muchachas jovencitas
era un pervert el jose marti ese y no se atrrevia a coger las armas era medio cobarde el muy degenerado
mat may i call you self loathing prick
ReplyDeletei dont know what it means , it just popped in my head and i had to say it to somebody
does it make any sense?
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/02/us/politics/02indiana.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
ReplyDeleteMat, told you!!
Mat, you dont understand the mind of a red-state racist republican as i d.
ReplyDeleteI told you before, and will tell you again. At my red-state racist republican dinner table of my family, no red-state bigot in good standing belives Obama is a racist.
If you want to make a compelling argument against Obama that harms his presidential ambition. Then argue that Obama has an immigrant father. That will make the red-state republicans come out in droves to vote against Obama.
Write a hard-hitting piece that Obama doesnt have an American flag bumper sticker. LOL
tabacón:
ReplyDeleteYoani Sánchez one of Time Magazine's "One Hundred Most Influential People in the World?"
If only it were true!
Although, certainly, having been chosen by Time for that distinction will increase her influence, which can only rebound to the benefit of Cuba.
john:
ReplyDeleteYes, it is true that xenophobes would hate Obama for being the son of a foreigner (not an immigrant, because Obama Sr. returned to Kenya alone, abandoning his son).
But whatever hate they may nurture for him in that respect would be subsumed by the greater hate that they would feel for him as a black man and a successful black man at that.
Xenophobia is basically just another word for racism, which, granted, is more focused on brown than black but only because Hispanics (and particularly Mexicans) are an easier target of opportunity at this time.
fantomas:
ReplyDeleteWhat is this compulsion which you have to malign everyone who is better than you? Whether Martí or Yoani, you should be celebrating what they did or are doing for our country not trying to blacken their names with libels that demean you, not them.
And you will see how that boy sick with envy will put his dick in a pretzel and they will "congratulate" the blogging chick from Havana. It has to happen, yet.
ReplyDeleteAs we say, that is know as "masked envy". If she falls, G-d forbid, their schadenfreude will be obvious.
The good are few, the mediocre are many.
I think the hatred for successful Obama is similiar to the hatred against successful Cubans.
ReplyDeleteHere, Obama is a son of a foreginer, besting Americans at their own game. And of course, my republican racist state hides their anger and jealousy behind code words in public. But at the dinner table you hear the truth.
You hear racist republican talk that Obama is an immigrant, or that he is not a "real" American, because he doesnt have an American name like Joe Smith.
I once asked my racist republican father, "why he hated Obama so much." My father said, "because he has an immigrant sounding name."
And that Mat is what this election will come down to in my redneck racist republican state. Which is the narrow-minded reason why i left it in the first place.
mat said: But whatever hate they may nurture for him in that respect would be subsumed by the greater hate that they would feel for him as a black man and a successful black man at that.
ReplyDeleteA Collin Powell would have easily beaten George Bush. Also, i think a JC Watts who was elected in all-white Oklahoma, would be given a fair shake.
Mat, it is all about the Spanish immigrant. Sorry, but it is. The hatered of the black man is trumped by the hatered of the Spanish immigrant. At least in my community.
LOL, and now breaking news, my hometown paper just "refused" to endorse Obama.
ReplyDeleteIts all about immigration!!
mat said: Xenophobia is basically just another word for racism, which, granted, is more focused on brown than black but only because Hispanics (and particularly Mexicans) are an easier target of opportunity at this time.
ReplyDelete"Easy targets" is way too simplistic to explain the increasing anti-Spanish backlash in America.
It is the fear of the English culture bein taken over by the Spanish culture. It is about the higher birth rates, it is about pressing two for Spanish, it is about entire cities being taken over like L.A. and Miami.
Also, the Republican party is hourly jacking up the anti-Spanish
sentiment in America.
Hola amigos cubanos
ReplyDeleteCuento con tu voto para estas elecciones presidenciales. America necesita un cambio. Dame una sola oportunidad.
Trabajare incansablemente para llevar la democracia a Cuba. Me sentare con el General Raul Castro a dialogar y lo mirare directamente a los ojos
El entendera mi mensaje
Senador B Obama
No, i would regard the 8% of those blacks who vote against Obama as black republicans. Part of the 4% of the black republicans who voted for republican ex-kkk wizard David Duke when he ran for governor of Lousiana, in 1990's.
ReplyDeleteMat, you can twist and turn all you want. Fact is red state republicans are not going to vote for Obama because of the Spanish immigrant. I know it is to painful for you to admit, but it is true!!
cubanos por obama, inc.:
ReplyDeleteI would advise your candidate not to turn his back on Raúl unless he wants to experience what he missed by not going to prison when he was snorting (and possible hustling) coke in high school (and college) with his best friend the convicted drug dealer.
mat said: prison when he was snorting (and possible hustling) coke in high school (and college) with his best friend the convicted drug dealer.
ReplyDeleteYou talking about that cocaine-sniffing, three time arrestee, ex-alcoholic George W. Bush, the Cuban-American's hero?
man, this obama fellow sure stirs up emotions in rcab. to me obama is an interesting fellow becuase he's mulitcultural, i can relate to him on that level. i think he probably understands better than the other twi the strugles of the common man, you know like paying your bills, filling the tank, paying your mortgage. you know the real stuff that we all have to deal with on a everyday basis. i have no issue with him being black or having a crazy pastor that's boberia.
ReplyDeletefrankly hillary comes accross like a b##ch with her we get back bill and monica in the bedroom i don't know that i wan't to go there again
mccain well he just seems to me like he is bush on steroids and i have no fondness for the cowboy. mccain is war hero that's honorable and he used to be a maverick an independent that's atrractive. but the stratight talk express lost his wheels in the last couple months, in order to get his republicans to join ride. and don't you think is age and temper is a factor. the thought of 100 more years is deal breaker for me. plus his admmission of not having a handle on the economics well there you have it,i'm back to the obamacan.
john:
ReplyDeleteGeorge W. Bush is no hero of mine and never has been. His Cuban-American supporters know that he did nothing for Cuba and that is their reward for their doglike devotion.
corgiguy:
ReplyDeleteJeremiah Wright is Phase 1 of the anti-Obama Campaign.
Phase 2 will be even more interesting.
That is, if Phase 2 is ever revealed. Because Phase 1 doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
Mat, Bush, the lazy, no good, ex-con, uneducated, drunkard, remains the popular hero of the Cuban-American community.
ReplyDeleteYou know it, America knows, and the world knows it. And nobody will ever forget it!!
mat,
ReplyDeletePhase 2 has already started with the anti-spanish rhetoric against Obama, i.e., making Obama out to be an immigrant.
Will you reject that type of anti-spanish rheotric against Obama?
mat
ReplyDeletephase 1, phase 2 mas boberias. mccain phase 1 has started. If you think jerimiah is an albatross around obama, wait till the 800 pund bush gorilla gets linked to mcccain, just watch the latest adds in tv.
by the way mat we are not electing a cuban/american president in this election we are electing an american president, let's keep that in perspective. cuban/americans are about 1% of the us population so our issues tend get lost in the presidential debate noise.
corgiguy,
ReplyDeleteCuban issues didnt get lost. Bush never gave a shit from the beginning. And yet, after nearly eight years, Bush remains undisputed hero within the Cuban-American community!!
LOL
john
ReplyDeletei can only speak for myself, bush is no hero of mine.
you got to stop that group/stereotype deal man. you make good points, but they get lost when you start grouping everyone into the same mold.
corgiguy,
ReplyDeleteWhen you have 95% of the Cubans in Miami vote for Bush the drunkard. Then i think i can assume that nearly all Cubans are Bush-backers.
Now you and Mat are the exceptions. But by no means does that absolve the fact that the world will forever link the Cuban-Americans and their children with Bush.
Having said that, i thank you for your compliment on my good points.
Very seldom to people say i make bad points. In fact, i make such good points that i often get kicked out of blogs, with whom the adminstrators have contrary opinions, as they cannot refute my direct hits.
John:
ReplyDeleteExcuse me but Mexicans are not taking over L.A, they were already here when the Anglos wrested her from Mexico, so you see they are just living in their land.
corgiguy:
ReplyDeleteOur "one issue" has (almost) all the candidates dancing to our tune at least until the election. After that, the winner just ignores us even if he owes us his election. John is not wrong in that respect.
John:
ReplyDeleteYou further claim that it's the fear of English culture being taken over by the Spanish Culture, well what about the Italians, the Vietnamese, the Chinese, the Russians, and for that matter the oh so hated Irish when they first arrived.
There has always been xenophobobia in the American South, fear is a bitch my friend, that's all it is fear.
I can understand pressing 2 for Spanish, what I don't understand is pressing 1 for English...
mat
ReplyDeleteagree, with you one the one issue thing. that's why i call it boberia, becuase.
we sit here and argue and defend this politicians and stand behind and so on and then when they get elected they turn their heads.
personally i find the political drama etertaining, but my expectation are low. that must be the libertarian in me.
