"Cuban military leaders and other connected families are getting rich under the status quo through black-market gasoline, monopolies and government contracts. Any opening with America could doom their scam." (From The New York Post)
We're well used to Mad-Hatter logic on Cuba by now. To wit: A murderous pscychopath who declares "Judicial evidence irrelevant!" who boasts [...]

At the São Paulo fashion show on July 15, 2002 supermodel Gisele Bundchen (the world’s highest paid model and champion of “female empowerment”) catwalked wearing a glamorous bikini consisting entirely of faces of Che Guevara, who rarely bathed and constantly reeked of “boiled liver” and “rotting fish” according to his early comrades and surviving victims.
Granted, [...]

U.S. media representatives audition for Havana press bureaus
Last week the regime co-founded by Che Guevara (worldwide icon of youthful rebellion) murdered a young defenseless political prisoner named Wilman Villar for the crime of “disrespect to authorities.”
So, 53 years into Cuban Stalinism we’re at about 100,000 Cuban deaths at the hands of the regime, and counting. [...]

“Bruno, you shouldn’t have!” (H/T Asombra)
Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff greeted by Stalinist apparatchik, Bruno Rodriguez, foreign minister of a totalitarian regime in power four times longer than Hitler's, that jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin's, and that prohibits visits by any International Human Rights agency.
In an interview with O [...]

Dilma Rouseff with business crony
Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo published a report on Monday revealing a series of 266 telegrams from the Brazilian embassy in Santiago that unveiled strong economic and diplomatic ties between the nations’ military regimes in the early 1970s.
The telegrams were retrieved by the Brazilian Embassy in Santiago after Brazilian President [...]

“The embargo of Cuba is the stupidest law ever passed in the US,” (Jimmy Carter)
Senator Richard Durbin was chumming it up with Cuba's Stalinist aparatchiks last week in Havana, snubbing Cuban dissidents and urging and end to U.S. sanctions against Cuba.
But in 1986 he was co-sponsor of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 (also [...]

OMG!-OMG!--Fidel outlasted TEN U.S. Presidents!!!
From Today's Miami Herald:
"Castro has outlasted 10 American presidents.."
By now we're all accustomed to how Pinks gasp, quiver and moist-up when mentioning the above sound-bite..
Oh Goodness! OH-My GOD! that "Macho-MACHO MAN! (Fidel Castro) OUTLASTED ten U.S. Presidents bent on his destruction!
For all those who become tumescent or similarly aroused over [...]

"Fidel Castro is courtly–even paternal, a thoroughly fascinating figure!”
Our friends at Newsbusters report how Andrea Mitchell sneers at the "Anti-Castro vitriol" by the Candidates in Florida:
A disgusted Andrea Mitchell on Thursday decried the "anti-Castro vitriol" coming from Republican presidential candidates in Florida, sneering that they are "pander bears" to the Cuban community. [See video below. [...]

Herbert Matthews rewarded for professional services
Fidel Castro, the retired Cuban leader whose 1959 takeover prompted the exodus of Cubans to South Florida:

If Chicago's O'Hare offered such scenes by Czech and Hungarian refugees in the 1960's--we somehow missed it. Folks outside our ghetto who see such pictures must assume they show crowds of Cubans anxiously FLEEING the oppressor nation...HAH!
Mr Speaker, your letter to Unidad Cubana states:
Re-establishing the 2004 Bush Administration regulations related to travel, as well [...]

I SWEAR I am not making any of this up:
A Special Relationship with Cuba
Five of the fifty albums Paredon Records produced were from Cuba. Cuban music and politics were very important to (Paredon records founder) Dane. In fact, her participation in the 1976 Cancion Protesta Encuentro in Cuba, which joined musicians and political activists around [...]

Granted-- it's tough competing on prime-time against Newt and all the Republican candidates on FoxNews--but Hey, if anyone can do it-- it's GBTV!
Wait a minute?!...A TV special on Cuba without interviewing a single Cuba "Expert"?...Is that even legal?
Unreal

Cafe Fuerte has an interesting story (in Spanish) on the Alan Gross case and trial, including court documents.
Bottom line: Turns out that in Cuba Gross worked with Cuban Freemasons and Cuban Jewish groups. His main contact José Manuel Collera Vento was in fact the "Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Cuba." Collera was [...]
