It will catch up to us sooner or later. Sooner is getting rather cose these days. The BlueMouse is hosting a fundariser for our sister city Cienfuegos tonight at 5.45. Cuban dinner and a movie (Hasta cierto punto). www.tacomafilmfood.org And yes, it is warm in Cuba. It is absurd and ignorant we don't get to travel there...

by ixia on 3/12/2009 @ 1:38pm	They live in Miami. What is your point?
by fredo on 3/12/2009 @ 8:05pm	The Cubans in Miami escaped a repressive government and it's my understanding that they would like to repatriate Cuba. For the record Obama's position on Cuban American relations is the call for freeing political prisoners, instituting a free press, the allowance of free speech, freedom of assembly, and free and fair elections. He calls it the "libertad" policy. A little effort by the Cuban government would go a long way to normalizing relations. Who wouldn't like to vacation in Cuba?
by Crenshaw Sepulveda on 3/12/2009 @ 8:14pm	Many people in the world are trying to escape repressive governments, what are we supposed to do? Do we let them all come to the United States? What is the big deal about Cubans that have made it to our shores, seems to me they are pretty lucky. Lots of people around the world are not so lucky including those that live under repressive governments set up by our own government.

by fredo on 3/12/2009 @ 9:21pm	An excellent documentary on the subject of Cuban American relations is entitled Boxers and Ballerinas. Also worth checking out is the Buena Vista Social Club.
by morgan on 3/12/2009 @ 11:33pm	Things are starting to make sense: Obama and Rual have an agreement - check out the recent news: www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/ar... President Raul Castro abruptly ousted some of Cuba's most powerful officials Monday, remaking the government in the biggest shakeup since he took over from his ailing brother Fidel Castro a year ago. The changes replaced some key Fidel loyalists, including the longtime foreign minister, with men closer to Raul. Could the military be replacing the prison with a facility to get Cuba wired?
