The generation just now rising out of their dorms and into the workforce, however, is increasingly listening to the opinions of political blogs like DailyKos, watching their Daily Show and Colbert Report online, and skimming YouTube clips to get the feel of their collective generational values. This gives the Ron Paul dancing pizza as much clout as Al Franken, and means that anyone really can be a star if they’re compelling enough. Anyone, that is, that can comprehend the complexities of making YouTube clips. José A. Buergo is, in many ways, an intruder in this online peanut gallery party. At 78, after a lifetime of making people laugh with his comedy and think with his writing, as well as a stint as a photographer for the CIA that landed him ten years in Cuban political prison, Buergo is now an accomplished YouTube pundit.
He is the man behind 137 of the site’s videos and counting, ranging from jokes and songs to commentary as varied as Hillary Clinton support ads and speeches on the moral deprivation prevalent on Latin American TV. When discussing the latter, his tone is menacing, his drawling Cuban slang dripping with the disgust of one that has lived to see the world before Univisión and Reggaeton got to it.”*
