nuestra única pionerita pensante
La frase “volver a la normalidad” es repetida por secretarios generales del Partido, por choferes de camiones cargados de tejas y hasta por los propios damnificados. Se trata de borrar a toda costa el “ahora” para regresar al “antes” de los dos huracanes.Los cierto es que no creo que un mes atrás tuviéramos algo parecido a la “normalidad”. Es más, en las tres décadas que arrastro sobre mis hombros, no creo haber vivido en otra cosa que no sea lo anómalo.
A quienes pronuncian la palabrita, me gustaría preguntarles si ellos creen que es “normal” el Período Especial, el miedo a la opción cero, los discursos interminables, la Batalla de Ideas, los mítines de repudio, mis amigos armando una balsa para echarse al mar, el “hay pero no te toca, o te toca pero no hay”, las colas perennes, las promesas de cambio que no se concretan, las tierras ociosas, la idea de plaza sitiada donde disentir es traicionar, el hablar en voz baja, la paranoia a que todos puedan ser del Aparato, las restricciones a viajar, los privilegios de unos pocos, la dualidad monetaria, el adoctrinamiento en las escuelas, la falta de expectativas, las vallas con consignas que nadie cree y la espera, el aguardar, los sueños de que alguna vez todo pueda arribar a un punto cercano a la “normalidad”.

Havana, Cuba 1930s - ... en este apenas se ven negros....
... y en este, para turistas anglos in search of a quickie-three-day-get-away, no se ve ni una cola, ni un viejo edificio derrumbado, ni una de las nefastas vallas llenas de lemas...al contrario, recalcan the effective way in which drivers are forced to pick up travelers on the roads...

John McCain In the Republican Party, there are two kinds of dicks: those that support the Iraq War but were too cowardly to fight in a war when they had the chance, and, much less common, those that support the Iraq War and did fight in other wars when they had the chance. McCain is the latter kind of dick. Sarah Palin is the current governor of Alaska, Republican vice presidential candidate, a compulsive breeder, and a major lady dick. The only thing Sarah Palin seems to enjoy more than having children is giving those children ridiculous names and inadequate sex education. On August 29, 2008, Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain performed perhaps the greatest political mindfuck in American history by announcing that he had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin celebrated by ovulating.
Cindy McCain She hails from Phoenix, Arizona, a city pretty much entirely inhabited by the type of dick who likes to siphon off hundreds of billions of gallons of water from the Colorado River just to be able to play golf in the desert, in a state pretty much entirely inhabited by the type of dick who likes to vote “NO” on recognizing Martin Luther King Day as a national holiday.
Barack Obama is a senator, presidential candidate, and celebrity politician (“celebritician”), and a dick. It is important to note that Obama is not so much a dick by virtue of who he is, but rather by what he has chosen to involve himself in (e.g. presidential politics) and the resulting crowd it forces him to deal with (e.g. Joe Biden). ... As far as anyone can tell, however, the only things Obama did as junior senator from Illinois were to not vote for the Iraq War and run for president.
Joe Biden is the senior U.S. senator from Delaware, the 2008 Democratic vice presidential nominee, an obvious recipient of both hair plugs and dentures, and a dick. Biden failed to gain the Democratic Party’s nomination in 1988, when it came out that he was a serial plagiarizer. Biden’s two sons are lawyers. One, Beau, currently serves as the dick Attorney General—or, “Attorney Genital”—of Delaware. Interestingly enough, should Joe Biden win the Vice Presidency, many believe Beau Biden will be appointed to fill his Senate seat. The situation is complicated, however, as Beau is also a captain in the Army National Guard, and slated for deployment to Iraq in October 2008. Should this actually wind up being the case, it is sure to generate a ton of national media attention, especially because nepotism and military service in Iraq are supposed to be the sole provenance of the Republicans.
Michelle Obama Like many dicks, Michelle Obama is a lawyer. Like many lawyers, Michelle Obama is a dick. This is a perfect example of the converse logical property of dicktitudinousness.

Judge orders Cheney to preserve records
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sued over records... Defendants are Cheney, president's office, National Archives...
Judge ruled against administration over visitor logs in December
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly found that the records are not excluded from preservation under Presidential Records Act, which gives the national archivist responsibility over the custody of and access to the records at the end of a president's final term.

Responding to the financial crisis on Wall Street, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said: "The weight of the housing and credit crises is in the process of outstripping anything I've seen yet to run its course. It will continue to be a corrosive force until the price of homes in the United States stabilizes," perhaps next year, he said. (Source: AP, Reuters)YES, viejo ... the same major housing crisis you could not foresee while maneuvering that interesting submarine low, low, lower.. what was it called? that's right, the US Sublowprime... the same one that is about to take us all down with its sinking...

una nueva isla NO un nuevo éxodo
lo vengo pensando hace años... en vez de tanto blablablá, por qué el exilio cubano no se acaba de lanzar en un Mariel a la inversa hacia cuba y ya, acabamos con todo el trauma... y creamos esa nueva isla que todos anhelamos. hoy leo esto en el blog de Varela y no puedo estar más de acuerdo. el tipo cuando quiere es luz brillante y esta vez no se queda corto... es hora ya de acabar con tanto debate sobre la ayuda que necesita con urgencia nuestra gente allá después de la piñacera huracanada. pa´qué tanto respetar esta o aquella otra ley... todo es hipocresía y pantalla na´má, si al final lo que reina son los intereses creados.... a ver, venga, qué creen que pasaría si todos de este lado agarramos barco, barquito, canoa, yate o velero... lo que sea, y cargamos con ayuda a ver qué nos van a hacer, los de aquí y los de allá, rodeados de prensa extranjera, a ver cuántos tiros nos van a tirar si los rodeamos y los de adentro empiezan a coger todos esos maderos podridos, todos esos ladrillos de tantos derrumbes y empiezan a batirlos en el aire gritando que a la mierda todo, si total, pá lo que les queda, mejor empezar de cero.
claro que el problema es que ni los de aquí vamos a arrancar y toda la evidencia del pasado indica que los de allá seguirán como este hombre, sentado y contemplando el panorama a la espera de tiempos mejores, que no hay mal que dure cien años ni cuerpo o isla que lo resista. total, nosotros sólo vamos por cincuenta....

Someone will have to measure the wreckage. Someone will have to walk through the ruins. Someone will have to count the cost.... Charles P. Pierce, in Esquire magazine
in god we trust, indeed...
Below are some actual quotes by Governor Palin during a series of interviews by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006 when she was running for Governor...
On Creationism: The simple yet elegantly awkward moose proves God's creation and not evolution is the source of all life. How could something as oddly shaped and silly looking as a moose evolve through so-called "natural selection?" Is evolution a committee? There is nothing natural about a dorky moose! Only God could have made a moose and given it huge antlers to fight off his predatory enemies. God has a well known sense of humor, I mean He made the platypus too.
On oil exploration and drilling in the ANWR: God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats. Now, as to the ANWR, Todd and I often enjoying caribou hunting and one year we shot up a herd big time, I mean I personally slaughtered around 40 of them with my new, at the time, custom Austri an hunting rifle. And guess what? That caribou herd is still around and even bigger than ever. Caribou herds actually need culling, be it by rifles or wolves, or Exxon-Mobil oil rigs, they do just great!
On Alaskans serving overseas in Iraq: Well, God bless them, and I mean God and Jesus, because without Jesus we'd be Muslims too or Jewish , which would be a little better because of the superior Israeli Air Force.
and they elected her, up there in Alaska, y se entiende, allá arriba, in THE NEW WILD, WILD WEST... so now, let's just watch ignorance take over the rest of the country... once again... Y A ECHARLE LA CULPA A LAS MUJERES DESPUÉS
