Artūras Zuokas, The Mayor Of Vilnius, Lithuania

Zuokas, who is described in news reports as an "avid cyclist" and who is bringing a bike-share program to Lithuania's capital, staged a fairly awesome stunt the other day: He ran over a Mercedes parked in a bike lane. With an armored personnel carrier.

My Recent Journey Into The Abyss

Exposing The Right-Wing Extremist
Alberto De La Cruz At Babalu

On July 28, Babalu Blog posted this.
Strangely enough, Tampa airport is actually proud and boasting about becoming a business partner of the vile, murderous, criminal, and repressive Castro dictatorship. Go figure.

After having to register and waiting for moderation i left this comment,
Isn't it wonderful Mr. de la Cruz?
You make Castro sound just like our Republicans. Go figure.

It was out of joy for getting something so many people worked so hard to get and
my daily poke at Republicans.

Mr. de la Cruz came back with this:
"Actually, Stogie, Castro sounds just like a liberal because... well, you know why."
Wait, i never said Castro sounds like a liberal, and the "well, you know why" contrary to what his little mind thinks, all liberals are not Communist.

Then he comes back with this:
Because you know that the millions of tourists who visit Cuba every year from Canada, Italy, Spain, the UK, France, South America, and various other free countries have done such a great job of exposing the Castro regime for the sham and repressive tyranny that it is.

These are tourists, they have no ties to Cuba but the great deal they got from their travel agents back home. We are family, we go there to help.

Then he ends it with this:
I am not surprised that you are not ashamed. If you were an intellectually honest person with a modicum of shame, te daria pena offering a stale and bankrupt argument. But it is obvious that you do not think that highly of yourself.

Stale and bankrupt argument? Sir, your argument is over 50 years old, it should be pretty stale by now.

Help, end the war on the Cuban people, they are being held hostage by a small group of
Right-Wing Extremist in South Florida.
Stop The MCM.

As the great late George Carlin once said, "Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Help Get Pamela Jo Hatley On Our Planning Commission

Our Planning Commission reviews development proposals and makes recommendations to our county & city governments about what kind of development to allow where. They help plan how our transportation systems will fit into our communities and whether our natural resources will be protected, or not, as we grow. Several seats are about to open up on this important board.

Hillsborough County Commissioners have been known to fill these seats with their cronies within the development industry — especially if they think no one is watching. (The Planning Commission is currently overweighted with developers.) We need to urge them to appoint Planning Commissioners who will represent the best interests of our whole community — not just developers' interests — as we plan for future growth.

Please urge our County Commissioners to appoint Pamela Jo Hatley to the Planning Commission.

On "Odor diverts Mexico-bound U.S. flight to Cuba."
The source of the odor has not yet been determined, but well placed and knowledgeable sources in the commercial aviation industry have told Babalú that the most likely source of the stench came from Raul Castro's "reforms." The expert sources suggested that since the flight's route placed the aircraft close to Cuba, the airliner's ventilation system must have ingested some of the plumes of malodorous stench emanating from crap Havana has been producing the past few months. The Cuban dictatorship and "Cuba Experts"
commonly refer to the mountains of high-powered feces accumulating
in Cuba as "Raul Castro's Momentous Reforms.".......Alberto de la Cruz

Help, end the war on the Cuban people, they are being held hostage by a small minority in South Florida.
Stop The MCM.
