Here's an interesting dichotomy:
There's a story about me and Babalu Blog on the front page of today's Miami Herald. I was interviewed a few weeks ago, a photographer came by the house and shot the pictures. I wasnt sure why anyone would want to run a story on me or my blogging. I mean, I just sit here in front of the computer and write about things and issues that are important to me. I write about family and politics and pig cooking.
But, obviously and as most of you that come here regularly know, I write mostly about Cuba. Why is that, you say?
Well, apart from the obvious reason, because I can. Because I am free to do so. I can sit here at my computer everyday and tell fidel castro to kiss my ass. Because I am an American and I have the right - and the responsibility that comes along with it - to express my opinions.
Freedom of speech, freedom of expression... Freedom.
It's a different story on that island shaped like a crocodile just South of us. There are no opinions allowed in castro's Cuba. No freedom of the press, no freedom of speech. Nada.

Now if only the Miami Herald does a major story about the DUmmie FUnnies Blog. However, I'm not too enthusiastic about my pic appearing on the front of the Herald showing me blogging since my attire for that effort consists of underpants and a T-Shirt.
LOL! That's true, some of us cannot be photographed as we blog! What about those of us who do it in our underwear?
