#1 AC great post!

I've been to Cuba (i'm not an American) and there is a real time-warp quality to the place. Its not just the antique American cars, its also the racial segregation which is quite striking. Once in a while a left wing American black comes back from Cuba and denounces the place, but otherwise its taboo on the left and you never hear about it in the mainstream media.

I met a Russian girl Irina when I was there and had a wild time. She may have been a plant but more likely I was just a westerner with money who didn't give a sh**. Those were the days!

#2 Irina! She must have been saucy. A slinky number with silken hair. Eyes like twinkling stars in a milky heaven. Skin so soft and tan. Of course she was 21 but with the charm of a school girl. The laughter, tell us about the laughter.

#3 I've always wanted to be seduced by a beautiful Russian spy. I'd pretend to smitten and give her classified information when really I was working for MI-5 and just wanted the encryption machine in the embassy....oh wait, that was "From Russia With Love".

#4 Ah yes Lucky, there was laughter. A little tickle then a gigle. Laughing, yes! We'd laugh all night.

#5 Do not forget the late-night Twister games and the vats of Crisco.

Oh, yes, the Crisco. *sigh*

#6 Here's a working link.

Just sent this to a partner who's a cubano, he's going to get a kick out of this story.

I bet the al-guardian caribbean desk is having a sh*tfit.

#9 You mean they're stifiling dissent!
I thought only Bush and Ashcroft did that.

#10 You have this all wrong! They are not stifiling dissent, they are CORRECTING a glaring error in a magazine. And to ensure that this error never happens again, we are sending those responsible to special camps.

#11 Kathy, you're kidding: this is what the fuss is about? I'm a hell of a lot better with Photoshop than the guy who did this. Let me have the original and I'll turn Fidel into Barney Fife. No seams, no lines.
