United Nations Honors Che Guevara
The U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) announced earlier this week that it would include Guevara’s “life and works” in its 2013 “Memory of the World Register,” which codifies historical material that has a “world significance and outstanding universal value.”....more
Of couse the announcement sparked an outcry from Cuban-American members of Congress. “UNESCO continued its longstanding tradition of making a mockery of its own institution when it opted to venerate and memorialize the life of a blood thirsty, murderous sadist,” Rep. Ros-Lehtinen
Please note, Ms. Ros-Lehtinen was a strong supporter of President George W. Bush and his war in Iraq, where 4,488 Americans and over a million Iraqis died.

Florida Looking For Candidate
Florida liberals are looking for a good candidate for governor in 2014. Someone who is pro-choice, for the legalization of marijuana and gay marriage. Someone who will take care of our beaches, springs and wetlands. Someone who is against offshore drilling off our coast. Someone who will take the feds money for high speed rail, health care for all and anything eles they want to give us money for. Someone who is pro education and tolerant. Someone who will make our state so desirable that corporations will want to pay us to relocate and do business here.

The Boycott
More acts are joining Stevie Wonder in boycotting Florida: Rod Stewart, Madonna, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Jay Z, Kanye West, Trey Songz, Young Jeezy, Wale, R. Kelly, Rihanna and Alicia Keys. Bruce Springsteen dedicated a song to "justice for Trayvon Martin" during a concert in Limerick, Ireland, while Jay Z and Beyonce met with Martin's parents during a rally in New York City.......more In the 80's my family and i did not eat tuna for years until it was dolphin safe. In 1990, the three largest tuna companies in the world - StarKist, Bumblebee, and Chicken of the Sea - agreed to stop purchasing, processing, and selling tuna caught by intentional chasing and netting of dolphins.....here.
To this day i will not buy Star Kist brand tuna for the comments they made about the reason they were going dolphin safe. Not becouse they were good environmentalist or were trying to save the dolphins but becouse the boycott must of been working and their sales were down. Also see the boycott of Budweiser in Chicago which stated people drinking Old Style beer. Or more recently Papa Johns Pizza falling out with liberals. (Notice the large amount of Papa Johns comercials on MSNBC.) I will never buy their pizza again and it use to be one of my favorites. Stay local and try CDB'S, they make the best pizza in town. This could have a damaging lasting effect. Boycotts linger for along time, even when it's over. I guess somethings you never forget.
Feds Sue Florida For 'Warehousing' Disabled Kids
It seems our republican led state has relentlessly cut services for families struggling to care for a severely disabled child at home. Three years ago, state lawmakers simply cut $6 million from a program that pays for private-duty nursing care for Floridians who wish to remain outside institutions. One program that is designed to allow parents to care for disabled children at home or in community settings now has a wait list with about 22,000 names. The Feds found the state funding and managing its community programs so poorly that hundreds of children have been forced to live, and sometimes grow up, in institutions for the elderly. A total of five children have died in Florida nursing homes during the last half of 2010 — and 130 have died since January 2006, according to state records.The DOJ is asking a federal judge to declare the state's program for disabled children in violation of federal law and to force the state to cease warehousing children in institutions.......more
AHCA Secretary Liz Dudek said. "Florida has made many improvements in its already strong program of caring for medically complex children and helping their families cope with their everyday challenges." But a Miami civil rights lawyer who has also sued the state over the institutionalization of children called Dudek's actions mere "window dressing."
