Click here to read some straight cold-war Communist propaganda. It is a program promotion for SBS -- one of Australia's public broadcasters. It appears that viewers will hear of Cuba's system for earning dollars by selling cheap medical services to foreigners but no mention of the medical care that Cubans get seems to be in the offing.
Another "Tar Baby" Protest
Now Tony Snow, the new press secretary to President Bush, has stepped out of line:
"Snow had said he wouldn't "hug the tar baby" of commenting on a program the White House won't confirm or deny".

"Tar baby" just means a "sticky problem" but tar is black, you see, and that is a VERY touchy color. I have mentioned this dreadful problem before
Options Running out for U of I's Chief Illiniwek
We read:
"The highly-ranked University of Illinois men's tennis team takes to the courts today for the first round of regional championships without the home court advantage it's enjoyed for the last few years. That's the first tangible impact of the latest and possibly final chapter in the long-running Chief Illiniwek controversy, which forced Team Illini, ranked eighth in the nation, to travel to 33rd-ranked University of Kentucky for the playoffs this weekend."

The NCAA have arbitrarily decided that the morale-boosting and long-standing Illinois tradition of having a student dressed in an Indian costume appear at Illinois football, basketball and men's volleyball games constitutes that unforgivable "racial stereotyping". So Illinois teams are gradually being subjected to more and more penalties.
Johns Hopkins University Bans Student Paper
We Read:
"The Carrollton Record - Hopkins' only conservative publication - was officially banned from the dormitories on the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus today. Residential life director Shelly Fickau said the Carrollton Record was "not welcome" in the campus dormitories, according to Dean of Student Life Susan Boswell. This news come after the recent distribution of the highly controversial May 2006 issue featuring a story about the school paying a gay porn director to speak on campus. The issue was distributed last Saturday afternoon. Within 24 hours of distribution, over 1,000 copies had disappeared.

Homosexual pornography is sacrosanct! And the removal of copies of the paper is an act of confiscation of others' property, as the Record has never received funding from the university.
Ironically, the Dean of Student Life, Susan Boswell, was earlier quoted as defending their choice of the pornography speaker with the argument, “We try very hard not pass judgment on anything and make sure we are maintaining an environment where freedom of speech and expression are held as the highest criteria." . Do these creeps ever listen to their own words?
