Why am I envisioning the Cuba scenes from the Godfather II.

(You know, those kind of clubs scenes, the the senator and Fredo)

I wanted to say something about so many dems being in the same place, but then realized I might get a knock on my door for expressing “unkind” thoughts.

This takes me back to my childhood and my teenage hobby of tuning in radio broadcasts from Cuba.

“This is Radio Havana Cuba, broadcasting from Cuba, free territory in America.”

The local stations would identify en Espanol as broadcasting from Cuba, “first free territory in America” (”primera territore libre en America”).

In Canada I could have visited Cuba for decades but never have and never will as things stand now. I am not a big person on heading south in the winter anyway but Cuba would be the last place I would choose as a warm climate destination.

“Traveling with Leahy are Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and congressmen Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Peter Welch of Vermont.”

They should fit right in.

And bringing the keys to Gitmo, I’ll bet. Notice how they want to encourage Cubans to bring up concerns with us, but nothing of our concerns about the lack of human rights and so forth..?

lawmakers want to explore opportunities for greater cooperation

My tweet

I'd like to be the first to invite Debbie Stabenow to seriously consider staying her ass in Cuba permanently

I would say it's normal for part of the US communist delegation to visit Cuba.

They are concerned about Cubans, concerned about Mexicans, etc. they have no concern for Americans.

The issue of ‘Michigander’ v. ‘Michiganian’ must have finally been resolved. I heard Debbie call herself a ‘Michganian’ on FoxNews today.

She’s neither. She’s a Communist.
