Havana Daydreamin'

It’s going to be sunny and 75 in Bagwine today. Thank God for that. Spring has been slow in coming this year.

And, as things finally seem to be thawing out here, it looks as though after fifty years, there are nascent attempts afoot to thaw relations between the U.S. and Cuba.

I think it’s high time for just that.

Look it…Fidel is old and near death. Hell, compared to Fidel Castro, even Larry King looks like he's actually alive.

Raul Castro who is now running the Communist island has said that in order to improve relations, he is willing to talk with the U.S. about “everything”.

This “everything” includes human rights, free press, political prisoners, and as my secret Cuban source tells me, getting the doddering old dickhead Fidel, to shave and take a bath.

Now that’s serious stuff, because Fidel has not bathed since the night of April 19th 1961 when he victoriously went skinny dipping in the Bay of Pigs.

I think an end to our embargo of Cuba, allowing travel, and normalizing relations between us and the Communist nation is a good thing.

It opens up a new market for the Big Three auto makers. Hell, GM, Chrysler, and Ford could dump leftover models from the 70’s and 80’s in Cuba, and it would be a step up for the Cuban consumer.

Here’s to Pacer Diplomacy and Victory through the Vega!!

Americans win. Cubans Win. And most of all, Major League Baseball wins. 'Cause let me tell ya, those commies can hit, run, and turn a 6-4-3 double play like no capitalist pig can.

Now President Obama made a good point when entertaining the thought of easing restrictions on travel to Cuba.

He said that there are no better ambassadors of freedom than the American people. I agree, and to that end, I offer this man up as our first citizen ambassador to Cuba…

He is Drive-By Mikey. He’s my boss and one major league asshole helluva great guy.


This very brief video demonstrates his compassion as he sends a message of hope and inspiration to my Schmoop:

So warm. So human. If he can talk to the Cubans like that…?

Before we know it, Barry Manilow will be singing “Copacabana” in Havana with Fidel sitting in the front and being forced to listen.

And let me tell ya, that is fitting justice for a third-rate thug of a dictator such as Castro.

Cheers!!

"Base-bool has beeeen berry berry good to meee..."

But you failed to mention the cigars!

Desert Songbird said...

You think if we're allowed to send tourists to invade their country they'll stop the flotillas that invade ours?

Schmoop said...

Desert Rat: Cigars lead to nothing but heartache...Just ask Bill Clinton. Cheers Rat!!

Songbird: This would definitely lead to unemployment in the Cuban makeshift raft indistry. Cheers!!

Although I have no issue with it, talking about "human rights, free press, political prisoners, and as my secret Cuban source tells me, getting the doddering old dickhead Fidel, to shave and take a bath," and actually doing it. You are far more cigar-half-smoked on this than I am!

Schmoop said...

Dana: Maybe you're right...Fidel does so enjoy lying around in his bodily squalor. Cheers!!

Michele said...

My sister-in-law's family was kicked out of Cuba when Castro took over. Now, maybe she can get her baby pictures back.

Schmoop said...

Michele: Ha. That's funny. I mean it's not funny, but it is. I mean...you know what I mean. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

Mikey has an evil laugh... I wuv him!

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: Ha. Yes he does, and it rarely stops. Is it twue wuv? Cheers Cheesy!!

Jay said...

I can't believe Obama is even considering changing our Cuba policy. It's been such an amazing success!

Schmoop said...

Jay: Ha. I know. What a joke the Cuba thing has been. We can normalize relations and trade with China and Vietnam, but God forbid we open up channels with Koo-Ba.

That Cuban-American voting bloc in South Florida is a powerful thing. More powerful than doing with what makes sense.

Cheers Jay, and thanks again for the link!!

You can Call me AL said...

I can't wait to get my hands on Cuban cigars and not feel like a criminal.
Just maybe, I can actually afford them now!

Schmoop said...

Al: I'm not a big cigar fan, but by God, I will write my Congressman and try to insure that this potential detente goes through so you can enjoy a good Cuban smoke at a reasonable price. Cheers Al!!

Marilyn said...

Hope Castro has, "nice panties".

Schmoop said...

Marilyn: Ha. I hear it on good authority that he wears women's panties with a cute rabbit's face on them. He thinks that it endears him to the masses. Cheers Marilyn!!

in twenty years...Cuba will be the 52nd state.

Schmoop said...

Kat: Now that's a bit much, but I bet there will be plenty of casino resorts. Cheers Kat!!

katherine. said...

wanna bet?
by 2030.

Schmoop said...

Kat: I'd take that bet in an instant. Cuba will never be a state. That's crazy talk. Cheers Kat!!

katherine. said...

you're on.

maybe you ought to consider giving up the cigs and only smokin' the occasional cuban cigar so you can actually collect...or pay...as the case may be...

Schmoop said...

Kat: Not a big cigar fan. But write it down. I'll collect my winnings in a different way. Please? Cheers Kat!!
