You’re welcome, Machetera! I’m so glad you are able to laugh at yourself – that shows real character.

Let’s get beyond this childishness. I invite you to a debate, in a free and open forum, here in the blogosphere. Let’s hash it all out. Say what you want, and we will hear you and comment – bring your friends too, whomever you please. What do you say, Machetera? Yes, or No? Let’s have a dialog.

Here’s the link, go to the English language comments section, hope to see you there soon! Happy Thanksgiving.

Comment on The Cyber-Tragicomedy of Yoani Sánchez by max

Sorry Machetera and Bina. I don’t believe you are laughing, either in German, English or any other language. My impression is that, in spite of all your giggling, you are (as Fidel himself is, as you can see reading his “reflections”) genuinely afraid of what Yoani is writing. The only real tragicomedy here – cyber and not cyber – is the fact that 1) you seem to believe (or pretend to believe) that the “acto de repudio” againt Yoani’s husband was a “spontaneous” reaction of people bristling with revolutionary ardor, and 2) that the only thing you are apparently able to tell about the Yoani phenomenon, is the old (and, again, really tragicomic) story of the “foreign agent” paid to discredit the Cuban revolution. Unfortunately, the Cuban (former) revolution has been discrediting itself for quite a while. And Yoani is just that: a reflection of the “desencanto” of an entire generation. You can either love o hate her. But, please, don’t make a fool of yourself parroting that decrepit and ridiculous “oficialista” story. Best wishes for your hernia, Bina.

What a lovely story! And what a cute picture. “Cardinal” looks to be a sparrow of some sort. I hope he found a flock to fly with…

Hey, Hank–who’s “we”? The least you could do is introduce your invisible friends…

Heh…that picture of her in the blond wig (“disguised as a German”, according to Cambios en Cuba) is just priceless. I’m German and I laughed myself a hernia over that.

Really? I know a 9 year old that is fixated on Nintendo. Maybe I can introduce the two of you. Thanks anyway for the laugh.

Chicamacha,

Nintendo?? Are you serious? Please, that went out in the ‘90s. What’s the last movie you watched on your Beta Max? Try to keep up. But it fits with your tired, outdated thinking and your admiration for decrepit old dictators. Your reporting on the blocked Cuban bloggers, however, is exceptional. We’re looking forward to much more!
