'nough said.

Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.

That comes from the Bible, from the book of the Prophet Isaiah.

One would think at least Rep. Cleaver, who's reportedly a Methodist minister, would have kept that in mind, but maybe he didn't read Isaiah. Maybe he was too busy reading Marx.

Whatever happens, God knows what's what, and who's who.

During the apartheid era, a group of Cuban-American congresspersons had gone to South Africa on a "fact-finding mission," gotten on famously with its white rulers (with published pictures to that effect), and, upon returning to the US, had told the media the situation in South Africa was fine and dandy, everything they'd heard before going there was a myth or a distortion, and the US seriously needed to revamp and overhaul its thinking and approach regarding relations with South Africa--which was really being run by wonderful, reasonable people who only wanted the best for everyone in that country.

Imagine if, when African-Americans (at least) went ballistic over such a trip and "facts," the Cuban-American congresspersons just responded with smug, snotty, barely concealed animosity or, at best, with stone-faced insensitivity and a condescending dismissal of any objections raised to their "findings."

What do you think would have happened? Or rather, what would absolutely, positively and without ANY doubt have happened?

Now, tell me Cubans are not the victims of a hypocritical double-standard bigger than the planet Jupiter.

Go ahead, make my day.
