More Random Thoughts at 12:12 AM

I don't know if there is some sort of blog protocol (and can't people write diary entries however they please?), but I'm on a dial-up and so I don't want to make separate posts...

(1) Here's a funny compliment from an art historian to Gene Callahan. http://arthistory.about.com/b/a/076944.htm I wonder if this person realizes what a bunch of wackos write for LRC??

(2) Regarding the post below, can someone please explain to me what the point of sanctions on Cuba is? As far as I can gather, the thinking goes like this: If not for our sanctions, Castro might hold on to power...

(3) Here's a pithy quote from an upcoming Strike the Root article. I doubt it will work its way into Reader's Digest.

"If Iraq were a giant lavatory, the sign outside would still read, 'Occupied.'"

  1. " Regarding the post below, can someone please explain to me what the point of sanctions on Cuba is? "

    It's called buying votes. However, sanctions aren't relevant to the younger US born Cuban-Americans and the older ones who do care are filling nursing homes. Remarkably, the new tighened regulations are angering the very people it's supposed to gain votes from too. Go figure.
