But it still has a little life in it and still draws a big crowd. And, frankly, I enjoy making it do tricks. Sometimes I think that the Valalusians actually have a meeting every week to think up stupid things to feed as fodder to me. It's obvious to me that they cannot survive now without my feedback. And at the right moment I am going to make them all go cold turkey. That is, I am going to cut the oxygen.Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-85483633027478719482007-06-30T14:16:00.000-04:002007-06-30T14:16:00.000-04:00Thanks, Agustín.

Since he is probably first generation Cuban-American this is something to ponder. The other commenters and contributors to Babalu are all, so far as I know from their postings, all Spanish speakers. Is hard to believe George is not. In this day and age of bilingual speakers, himself being around the Cuban community and and a contributor to the auto-proclaimed "Dean of Cuban-American blogs", this is an unforgivable lapsus. BTW, great play on words with the choice Val-idation.

The same drumbeat gets to be boring after while. I say keep your content fresh and engage your readers and you will draw more readers.booksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14005782327057288576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-63696439168185595392007-06-30T13:09:00.000-04:002007-06-30T13:09:00.000-04:00Agustín:I believe you are completely right.

That term really does say it all.<BR/><BR/>George, of course, is an even bigger "American-Cuban" because, unlike Henry, who speaks it haltingly, George doesn't speak Spanish at all. Since he could easily have correctly this situation we can only assume that it is a wilful omission.Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-19302050795566815412007-06-30T12:59:00.000-04:002007-06-30T12:59:00.000-04:00Manuel, George posted: "the magnanimous act of a s...Manuel, <BR/>George posted: "the magnanimous act of a statesman its painted to be by the historically deficient"<BR/>This line I believe was aimed at Manuel personally while omitting his name. <BR/>From what I see, George looks at history from a American-Cuban perspective while Manuel in my humble opinion, might see it from a Cuban perspective. That may be why Manuel cherishes the Cuban Adjusment Act just as I do, while George looks upon it as pandering or a bone as he called, thrown to the Cuban community after the Kennedy debacle in the Bay of Pigs. From where I stand, one can only throw bones to a dog and even though we have been called chihuahuas by the editor of the Herald, I think it was a poor choice of words to describe the CAA. Also, I did not see any mention in the posting of Kennedy's or Eisenhower's role in getting us into Vietnam in the first place.Sharpshooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392128808186050440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-73798734943113821702007-06-30T12:38:00.000-04:002007-06-30T12:38:00.000-04:00I'm all for defending liberty and defending our ho...I'm all for defending liberty and defending our homeland. But i'm not for getting in the middle of somebody else fight. <BR/><BR/>IRAQ is a civil war. Whose liberty are we fighting for the SHIA, the SUNNI, this guys have hated each other for ages and the hate us even more. Reminds of that saying "Entre marido y mujer nadie se debe meter" <BR/><BR/>Now George solution would probrably be to nuke the whole place, that his idea for fighting for liberty.<BR/><BR/>I'm bit cynical when i see that the elites and neocons are the one that profit from the war in the name of patriotism. Checkout Haliburton's profits since this war started. Check out Chaney's net worth, just follow the money trail.<BR/><BR/>Why aren't Bushs or Chaney daughters helping out with the war effort?<BR/><BR/>I ask you who pays the greatest price in this war. In my view first the soldier, they come home with mangled bodies and emotional scars that last forever. And me and you and the next generation pay for it with our taxes. <BR/><BR/>We have less casualties in this war compared to Vietnam becuase we have learned to save more lifes in the battlefied. Just wait, many of our soldiers come back permanently disabled that's the real number you have look at. We love the troops while they are in the battlefield, But do we love them as much when they com home?<BR/> <BR/>And who benefits from war the military complex, the industralist, the bankers that finance it, haliburton. Let face the war business is racket. <BR/><BR/>With the money we are spending in this war we could have invested in fixing many of our social issues, we certainly could have fixed new orleans levies and protected our borders and ports.
