BabaluBlog- After the American Airlines pilot made a perfect landing with the Boeing 767 on the Terminal Two runway at the José Martí International Airport in Havana, the passengers broke out into applause.
Gisela Mirantes could not contain her tears. “I haven’t come to Cuba for ten years. I am from Pinar del Río and live in New Jersey. I have heard that things have changed for the better here”, she said, before going down the steps to the customs area.
That’s when the tragedy began. MORE
I have an uber left relative that is taking a group of friends to Cuba this spring. I hope they encounter some of this to counter their love of everything communist etc.
Is that mean of me?
Indeed, it is. After reading this article, I’m fired up to go to Havana, cut sugar cane. and be relevant. [sarcasm intended]
Screw Cuba and the Horse that Obutthole and Castro rode in on! That little pimple of an island has been a pain in our fanny for far too long! Congress do your duty and cut those little pricks off from the USA!
That was done for a number of years, actually.
😛
Sounds like a blue print for a Sanders/Clinton/Obutthole utopia
The one upside of opening a country is the light it shines on the truth.
I’ve been all over the Carib but never to Cuba and man I sure would like to visit. I have a couple friends that go several times a year(one has woman there) and they tell me once you learn the ropes plus have some people to visit with when you’re there, it’s a hell of a vaca. Yeah it’s a commie shithole, I know, but get away from Havana and I’ve been told that most of the people are extremely friendly. Both fly down to Mexico and fly in from there. They pay Cuban Customs not to stamp their passports so when they return to the US, there isn’t a visa stamp in their passport.
And I’ve been cigar smoker for 40 years and Cubans are the best although there are some excellent Dominicans-I’d love to visit some factories there. Cuban coffee and rum is also excellent. Once this open trade really gets going, I believe you’ll never see the high quality of their cigars again. It was the same way after the ’59 Revolution, cigar quality supposedly dropped off the table when the commies nationalized everything. I can’t imagine how good they were because they’re the best now.
Fuck Cuba and the Cubans.
Paradise to Rat-Hole just by changing the guy at the top.
Just like America getting Obola. Watch what happens if we’re stupid enough to choose Bush, Clinton, or Sanders!
My son spent some time in Japan last year. He brought me some Havana cigars, wasn’t worth the effort. Dominican, even the cheaper ones, are better. Looks like Castro fucked up the only export he had.
Our leftists think Cuba is romantic and quaint.
I’ve been smoking cigars for about 40 yrs, too.
Matter of taste, I guess.
I wasn’t impressed.
We just had another dude wind surf to Key West …to escape the socialist Paradise. go to http://www.keysnews.com or the keynoter for the story.
