“Granma” is the Castro version of “Pravda”-the official Communist newspaper.

A perfect choice for TP.

Maybe we should send them copies of “The New York Times” so they could use them, too.

The trade embargo has an exception for “humanitarian” reasons.

If obama’s policies continue, we too, will be buying and reselling newspapers for our bathrooms.

Kind of gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling, doesn’t it?

The entire rest of the world can trade with Cuba, but their apologist blame their economic plight on the trade barrier with the US.

Socialism, communism, Marxism, or whatever you chose to call the collectivist society destroys jobs, people's lives and the society they live in.

This is what brother O has envisioned for America.

Well, it’s nice they’ve found a legitimate use for Communist newspapers. That ought to give Americans an idea of what to do with copies of the Nr ew York Times and the Washington Post.
