want to tick off a freeper?

[historian]

Superpower are we? Kicking butt are we? Why is that tiny little island of Cuba still around with Castro running it?

[Goldmund]

1. Don't you know why?

2. cause there ain't no damn oil there

I understand that tho they aren't the wealthiest people in the world, they do get schooling, medical care, and most have some kind of job. Castro recently challenged shrubya to a debate, even saying the high shool kids could beat him.

"The US loves a winner."

"Like Vietnam?"

BANG! "Don't say that! We did NOT lose that war! It was a tie!"

(in Western Accent) "Why they whupped yer' ass. They whupped yer' hide REAAAAL GOOD!"

"NO THEY DIDN'T!"

"Ye-essss they di-iiiddd."

"NO THEY DIDN'T!"

"Ye-essss they di-iiiddd."

"SHUT UP!" BANG!

9. He's there because the pubs needed him there...

...during the cold war. Had to keep the ignorant masses thinking that the red menace was there just off the coast of Florida ready to lauch missiles with big red stars on them at us. At least that's what that doddering fool Reagan would try to sell us every time Bush sr. would wheel the senile old fool out there to get his "star wars", and out of control military spending plans passed.

Cuba isn't anything to us anymore, much less a threat.
