U.S.: Farrakhan trip a disaster
Pittsburgh Tribune Review
Going to Cuba to learn about emergency management would be akin to going down there to learn about democracy," said Steve McCraw, former assistant director of the FBI, and Texas director of homeland security.
Louis Farrakhan journeyed to Cuba on Monday to learn about disaster relief, but U.S. government officials don't believe he is receiving much of an education.
Arriving for a weeklong visit, Farrakhan criticized the federal government for its handling of Hurricane Katrina's destruction of New Orleans last August.

Farrakhan is a total idiot, I listen to him for the humor value. The same with the one who appears on Hannity and Colmes.

The home secretary banned him from the UK - perhaps you should convince him to stay in Cuba?

i'm totally surprised that the runways of the cuban airports were large and modern enough to facilitate the landing of the mother ship; talk about progress.

Our stupid mayor gave Calypso Louie the key to our city (Memphis, Tenn,).

I erad some report (UN I think) that said Cuba was the "best prepared" country for dealing with hurricanes.
I guess one could make the arguemnt, because there isn't much infrastructure for a hurricane to destroy in Cuba.
Things get back to normal (hell) very quickly.

The Cubans probably showed him how to convert a '63 panel truck into a floating raft that can float 90 miles and evacuate about 50 people.

Honestly, does anyone really believe that Louie is going to Cuba to learn about disaster relief?

"The word, "Cuba", has four letters. The word, "Bush", also has four letters. But the word,"Castro", has six letters. Six times four is twenty-four which would be a good season for a major league pitcher but less than half a deck of cards. I rest my case.

Farrakhan ought to team up with Cindy Sheehan. That would be effective.
