Cubans, Spaniards and the Chinese

Are preparing to put a very controversial hole deep in the Gulf of Mexico.
Deeper than the blown-out well that spewed 5 million barrels of crude into the Gulf last summer.
It will puncture the sea floor in Cuban-controlled waters just
60 miles off the Florida Keys,
a protected coastline where offshore drilling is banned under U.S. law.

9/12 And The 'War On Terror'



The events on the morning of September 11, 2001, marked the beginning of what would become a decade of war. So many lives lost, millions of dollars squandered and wasted opportunities. Ten years on many questions remain unanswered. Were the attacks of September 11 a case of blowback, or, as President Bush professed, 'a hatred of Western freedoms'? And why, if the hijackers came from friendly
Gulf countries, did the US launch a war against Iraq?

Was the global 'war on terror' a cynical pretext for neocon policy hawks and the vested interests of the military industrial complex; or a war of necessity against a new type of global enemy?

Red Pill And Blue Pill

The term red pill and its opposite, blue pill, are pop culture terms that have become a common symbol for the choice between the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue)
and embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red).

Put Some Duct Tape Over Allen West’s Mouth

Not only is the man embarrassing himself as an American, and as a military veteran who supposedly fought for the U.S. principles of freedom and equality, but for an elected leader to spout the kind of anti-Muslim invective constantly streaming from West’s mouth is an embarrassment to our country.
Nicole Brochu, Sun Sentinel Columnist

Be afraid Muslims are coming to get you. I remember the old days when it was The Red Menace.

Orlando Resident Luis Lebron

The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida today announced it filed suit in federal court seeking to halt implementation of Florida’s new law mandating drug testing of applicants to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program without suspicion of drug use.

The suit, filed Tuesday, is on behalf of Luis Lebron, a 35 year-old Orlando resident, Navy veteran and full time University of Central Florida student. Lebron is a single father who applied for temporary assistance in July, 2011, to support his 4 year-old son. He meets all the criteria for assistance but has refused to waive his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure and submit to the newly required drug test.

Expanded Cuba Travel Begins From Tampa

“Today is an historic, eagerly awaited and much-worked-for day for Cuban-American families and the entire Tampa Bay community. The next step is to market Tampa as a ‘gateway to Cuba’ and create jobs for our small-business owners in the tourism sector.”.....Congresswoman Kathy Castor

Good Work Ms. Castor!
