Do they actually let Cubans be liberals? :) Can you call Ileana for me and tell her?

I went to La Carreta the other day -- yes, on 8th Street (how does one spell "sowesera"?) and there was another JK for Pres sticker on a car. Almost passed out into my Arroz con Pollo.

I don't 'peaka de pani, pero yo entiendo. :)


p.s. Hungry? http://www.wsvn.com/features/articles/bitewithbelkys/DBM827/

26. We exist.
There are more of us than people assume, but we tend to be less affluent than Ileana and Jorge's crowd..

4. Well, you could look at it that way or
you could consider yourself a person that can see both the long and short of the matter.

23. I just got my first pair 3 weeks ago.
I freaked as well, but they really are not that bad.
I also have a lot less eye stress after being on the computer all day.
