*** Val examines the common leftist myth about Cuba's "excellent universal health care."

Every single castro supporter clings to this healthcare thing like it is some kind of holy grail. In a debate, the fact that Cuba has the most political prisoners in the world is ignored. The fact that Cubans on the island lack even the most basic of necessities is ignored. Tourism apartheid is ignored. Everything is ignored save for the free healthcare and 100% literacy.
Of course, none of these Free healthcare! cheerleaders have ever been to a Cuban hospital. They've never been to a Cuban clinic. Hospitals and clinics serving the average Cuban, that is.

Take a look at this picture ...

Yes, there are pictures.

*** Beware the ninjas in black!

*** Beth from MVRWC weighs in with another "review" of the new Battlestar Galactica. Sort of.

*** I agree with this line:

With each day that passes I'm ever more thankful that the Party of Teddy opened a big package of shredded ass on Wednesday November 3rd.

Ask yourself: would we hear the rumblings of Democracy in the Middle East if John Kerry had been elected President? Would the Iraqi election have even taken place by now?

*** Tom Friedman: "New Signs on the Arab Street"

From Baghdad to Beirut, the Middle East has seen a series of unprecedented popular demonstrations for democracy. There were, however, two street protests in December that got virtually no coverage, but were just as important, if not more. One took place in the Egyptian Nile Delta town of Mahalla and the other in the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya. Both of these raucous Egyptian demonstrations, which involved marches, strikes, denunciations of the government and appeals to Parliament, were triggered by President Hosni Mubarak's decision to sign the first substantial trade agreement with Israel since Camp David. That decision brought Egyptian workers from both areas into the streets. They were furious. They were enraged. Why?
They were not included in the new trade deal with Israel.

the first time I saw the 'ninja' pics I thought it was a trailer for some bizarre Tim Burton remake of the "Flying Nun"

Funny, I get an INDClanche, and suddenly no one can get to my site (including me). I had a feeling that post might piss off the WRONG sci-fi fanatic hacker... Heh.
I've apparently had my blogging privileges and geek card revoked!

SCI-FI sucks! hehehehehe
