SURVIVOR NICARAGUA Recap: Fish Mongering & Freudian Slips
2010-10-29 13:34:00 By: Josh Wigler Catching Your Fish & Eating It Too: There are still players in this game that I’ve barely even mentioned in previous SURVIVOR recaps, if I’ve mentioned them at all. (Just one more reason why I hate when this show has too many contestants.) But something tells me I’m going to be talking about Jane a lot more from here on out. Crazy old Jane, the fish monger of Nicaragua who feeds herself first and provides for the tribe second. I love that! SURVIVOR is a selfish game, no doubt, but it’s rare that people make moves like feeding themselves over others without paying the price. That’s what happened to Tyrone a few weeks back, and Jane could easily suffer a similar fate if caught. But the way the scene was edited, I view Jane’s private fish meal as less of an ongoing thing and more of a moment where she chose to personally reward herself. Good on her. Too rare do the people playing SURVIVOR actually get to stop, smell the roses and ...

2010-04-19 07:32:00 Mario Salinas, President of the Nicaraguan Tourism Board (INTUR), has his sights set on improving the port infrastructure at San Juan del Sur and Corinto to attract more cruise visitors.

Updates From the "Defeated" FARC
2008-11-23 11:15:00 In the 3-month period encompassing August, September and October, 107 FARC guerrilla attacks took place. That is over one attack per day. During that period, the Colombian military suffered 131 killed and 358 wounded, for a total of 489 casualties. The military suffered over 1 killed and 4 wounded per day, or almost 6 casualties a day. Pretty good for a guerrilla army on the verge of defeat.489 casualties, and not one word on any of it from the US corporate media. No wonder Americans think the guerrilla is near defeat.20 businesses were attacked in various cities and towns,including Bogotá, for refusal to pay revolutionary taxes. 2 helicopters were shot down and 6 more were hit by guerrilla fire.Apparently these figures are for the Eastern Bloc of the guerrilla alone, but a Spanish speaker may want to look that over, because my Spanish is not that great.Make no mistake about it, the FARC is undergoing some hard times. But only six years ago, they were said to be on the verge of taki...

Multiculturalism and Socialism: The Odd Couple
2008-08-30 08:14:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated September 2:In the comments section, Scott, who is a White nationalist, discusses the disconnect between multiculturalism and socialism or social democracy.Yes, we do allow White nationalists, even anti-Black ones, on the board, but every time a cute Black woman shows up on the board, we force them to kiss her. On the lips. On penalty of banning. None have left yet. Brown sugar, how come you taste so good? Scott says: Look at the countries that have the highest index of egalitarianism in the West: Iceland, Norway, Sweden (used to have more). The inhabitants are all pretty closely related to one another. I'll spot my sibling $100 cash.It's basically the same thing but in a less dramatic way in such countries, but when other nationalities come in because of the aforementioned ethnostates' welfare system, as seek to take advantage of ...

News: Sandinista priest presides UN General Assembly
2008-06-07 20:43:00 Former Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann is elected president of the U.N. General Assembly.
