  • Cuba...Our new friend to the South.

    So Obama the commie is of course normalizing relations with Cuba.


    Now maybe I can get a good Monte Cristo for less than 50 bucks a stick.
    If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

    Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

    I've never understood our stance towards Cuba, this seems like a no brainer to me.

      An enemy just off shore to remind folk how close the evil doers really are. Sadly they aren't "towel heads", so they've out lasted their usefulness.

        if we can normalize relations with Vietnam, we should be able to normalize relations with Cuba

          Cuba publicly stood up to America. Freedom and democracy doesn't like that.

          Plus, I hear it's a great place to stash a concentration camp and torture people.

            We lost a war to Vietnam, and we like that even less....

              Yeah but that's surely negated by the sheer quantity of awesome Vietnam war movies?

                    It's about time.
                    I would also like to visit Cuba.

                      I am enjoying a Flathead 660 as I type this. It is no Cuban Monte, but still a good smoke.

                        I think this is a ballsy move by Obama, or foolhardy however you want to view it, or both. Long overdue as far as I'm concerned, but w a Republican-controlled Congress I dont see how this will work. But I'm glad the US finally is taking this first step.

                        Now, let's put an MLB franchise in Havana! Maybe the Rays can move there

                            This is no fun. Everyone is agreeing.

                            Here is to the 51st state. Hopefully they shoot down any civilian planes this time.
