Comment 1:

but she managed to smuggle out pictures she hid in her bra.

Sheesh...that's the first place I would have looked...

Comment 2:

During her 10-day stay in Cuba, Houdova said, her meetings with dissidents, the wives of political prisoners and ordinary Cubans reminded her of her childhood in Communist Czechoslovakia.

Nobody hates Communists like people who have suffered under them...

Amen that to that. The Czechs and Poles are the only ones who dare criticize Castro in the halls of the UN.

How can you post a thread like this without pictures?

"Nobody hates Communists like people who have suffered under them..."

Communists manage to combine arrogance and self righteousness to a very high level. They claim to be looking after the greater good, but that often means the individual suffers. And that's ok. The leadership never suffers, and always feels they are doing what's best, even if people die.
Now, if you're hungry, or without shelter, or whatever dire circumstance, and you have such leaders, you would have a white hot hate for communism.
Democrats display much that is characteristic of communism.

God bless the Czechs. Twenty years ago I thought them wimps, but they have proved to be as strong as the Poles.

A model with a brain. How depressing. I often try to console myself for my non-good looks by cradling my PhD diploma and rocking back and forth. But when brains and beauty combine in a single person it completely undermines my "at least I'm smart" alibi.

Damn.

BUMP.

Even in SF, the Chinese immigrants speak out against Communism while the local schools there indoctrinate Americans into loving Marx.

The photos Houdova saved will be included in an exhibition she plans to organize together with People in Need, a Czech humanitarian relief organization that has supported Cuba's pro-democracy opposition. The exhibition would portray Cuba’s beautiful scenery but also highlight its political oppression, Houdova disclosed.

Sounds interesting.

After seeing the picture in post 4, I would have to agree with you. What has happened to the men in Cuba these day? Have they all gone brokeback?
