...and Marco Rubio tells us why he's such a flaming turd member of the GOP clown car.

Good stoogies on the horizon?

[Poison Tree]

About fucking time. Our old plan hasn't worked in 53 years. Time to try something--anything--else.

Don't bother. Communism destroyed the Cuban cigar industry, though many of the strains are still grown elsewhere.

We bought some Cubans on our honeymoon in Mexico. I said "yes" when the customs agent asked us if we had any Cuban cigars so he cut them up in front of us. $80 down the drain.

I gave up cigars about a year ago.  But a chance to taste a real Cuban cigar is pretty tempting.  It would probably be disappointing, though.  But I still have to try it.  It would be like, "Shit!  I waited 50 years for this?"

I've cut back my cigar habit to almost nothing. But, I've worked in countries without the Cuban embargo. But, I wouldn't mind a Cuban R&J robusto right about now.

Rubio is in that perfect spot, having gotten elected to the Senate, he can just sit back and criticize, criticize, criticize without ever having to take any real responsibility. He keeps the right wing of his party happy and keeps him in the news. How stupid do you have to be to think that the policy we have had in place for over half a century has been anything but  a dismal failure.

[Solitary]

It's about time! Only politicians, greed, ignorance, and religion can screw things up so bad. Where's all the love and understanding anymore? All I see is hate, violence, misery, and greed anymore.

Again we get to hear from the revisionists that Cuba was a beacon of freedom under Batista.  When you support a shitty dictator don't act too shocked when the next one is even worse.  Anyway, Cuba lost their Soviet muscle 20+ years ago, time to move on.

Rubio is the GOP's Hispanic equivalent of the 'token n*gger'.. I don't intend that as offensive, just a statement of fact.

Daiquiris all around... made with Havana Club rum, of course!

Wow.  Obama did something right.  This is news.

Not according to the people where I work.
