College Conservatives

That phrase is really contradicting, since most college students are fairly libreral. In fact with the new cuts to college funding that the Bush administration passed I don't think any college students should be voting republican in the next election.
Anyway CampusProgress has an article on a Young America conference and it is really interesting to hear what these conservatives have to say.

"When Roger Custer of Young America’s Foundation took to the stage and opened the 2006 Conservative Student Conference, the first thing he explained was why the gathering was necessary. “It’s a shame you have to be here,” he told the 300-odd students in attendance, but liberals’ campus stranglehold leaves YAF with no choice. The left, he continued, “has never been for open debate or discussion.” Instead, it shuts out conservative speakers and, when necessary, engages in name-calling and physical harassment. But confront liberals with arguments and ideas, Custer claimed, “and you’ll win every time.”"

This was before Mattera threw the reporter out for writing for campus progress along with their Washington newspaper. The justification for this was “Because I said so” . Sounds like bullshit to me. Mattera also denied any liberal organization access to the conference.
Hopefully college campus' will wake up and realize all the bullshit that is going on in this country.

Castro

So Castro had surgery and turned over power to his brother. How much power he was relieved of is a different story.

"A senior Cuban official insisted Castro's final moment was "very far away," despite his handing over power to his brother after surgery."

This could possibly be the beginning of some changes in Cuba. Most likely the transition will be very slow, since Castro is kind of still in power (but not really).

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see heavy US involvement in Cuba once Castro dies, but who knows.
