What others are saying about Uncommon Sense
- Jordan Allott, producer/director of "Oscar's Cuba":"Arguably the best blog regarding Cuba."
- The Militant (socialist newspaper):"A well-known right-wing opponent of the Cuban Revolution."
- Jay Nordlinger, National Review:"A valuable blogger."
- A reader from Australia:"Stop hanging out in Cuban bars in Miami and either go to a decent school or do some reading; either that or stop writing ridiculous articles for your likeminded friends to read."
- Marta Darby, www.mybigfatcubanfamily.com:"Fabulous and astute."
- Luis M. Garcia, author and blogger:"Worth the trip."
- Manuel A.Tellechea, author and former blogger:"In terms of sheer usefulness and commitment, it would be hard to top Marc's Uncommon Sense. Of course ... common sense is better than uncommon sense."
- Miami Herald:"An anti-Castro hardliner."
