Punish These Evil Bastards

The time is coming. The day of reckoning is on the horizon. You Castro lovers need to see how your friend Fidel has treated American prisoners in captivity. If you have the stomach read this report of what they did to Lieutenant Colonel Earl Glenn Cobeil. You should feel shame for ever uttering one word of praise for the tyrant Fidel. Fidel and Charles Manson are birds of a feather.

Read this!

Many thanks to my cousin John for sending me.

Vecino Alegret is the name of the Cuban torturer, he is now some sort of Education Ministry official in the island. When the day comes look for Vecino Alegret, Sen. McCain can positively identify the asshole.

But this I know. However, it is not my responsibility to rewrite and sanitize history. War is ugly. Not showing that would be unfair to those who may have other ideas.

But it is a fair observation to note the use and dehumanizing aspect of slurs. I do apologize for having to leave that in this particular piece and I'm sorry it offended you. If only more people were righteously offended by these things then the world would be a better place now wouldn't it? But hiding these hateful words by not reporting what and how these words were used doesn't make this behavior go away - rather some take the silence as proof that this behavior is acceptable.

Along the same lines at work the other day, I was proofing an ad for some performer who was talking about this song she would perform that was becoming an anthem for women's rights. Then she said the lyrics discussed the use of the "B" word and the "H" word. I figured the "B" word must have been bitch but I couldn't figure out for the life of me what the "H" word was. Huzzy? Harlet? Then it hit me! The advertiser thought "whore" was spelled with an "H."
