Which Fidel is HOTTER:



Beard?



No beard?

 

Irrelevant. Everyone knows Che was the hotty and fashion icon of the Cuban Revolution.

Petera/Suestorm--if you're so concerned about Castro, who is dead, why are you unconcerned about Trump's coziness with Putin, who is about to rape your Ukrainian homeland?

Ah Frankie Boyle - never one to avoid a bit of controversy (although almost always on point).

I've actually been watching quite a bit of his standup these past few depressing weeks. I'll include a link to his "US Election Autopsy" (with a warning regarding his quite brutal Glaswegian humour for those unfamiliar). And I don't post this in any way to bash our Atlantic cousins - Britain (and specifically England) is often on the receiving end of his bearded ginger scorn.

Frankie Boyle's take on the US election.

I do not understand what Mr Obama is doing in his final days. He spanks Israel and now the Man who is all for allowing Syrian Refugees into United States is now going to send Cubans back who make it here safely. 

NYTIMES: The change drew sharp criticism from opponents of Mr. Obama’s move to thaw United States relations with Cuba, who argued it would reward dictators in Cuba, ignoring their human rights abuses.

“Today’s announcement will only serve to tighten the noose the Castro regime continues to have around the neck of its own people,” Senator Robert Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, said in a statement. He said Congress had not been consulted on the move, and he added, “The Obama administration seeks to pursue engagement with the Castro regime at the cost of ignoring the present state of torture and oppression, and its systematic curtailment of freedom.”

I do think Obama's last change to Cuba policy is wrong. Of course, I'm for open immigration, so that goes without saying.

However, opponents of Obama's earlier reforms on Cuba policy don't have a toe to stand on. It is a perversion of US law to invoke the freedom of Cuban citizens as an excuse to limit the freedoms of Americans. Prohibitions on trade with and travel to Cuba are inexcusable restrictions on the freedoms of US citizens, and they are simply indefensible.
