Thanks, I had heard it from a reputable source but wanted to confirm it with people I trust.

SPOKANE, Wash. - As he surges to the top of the race for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination and begins to think about a potential contest against President Bush, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean says he is shifting his views on the trade embargo with Cuba.

Speaking to reporters during a four-day national campaign swing, Dean said he supports rolling back the embargo in order to encourage human-rights advancements -- but citing Fidel Castro's recent crackdowns on dissidents, says that in recent months he has become convinced that ``we can't do it right now.''

Dean called Cuba a ''political question,'' and said that recent developments on the island would prevent him from his goal of ``constructive engagement of Cuba.'' More

At least Jesse Ventura was smart enough to wait until he was finished as governor with no futher political aspirations before he went to suck face with Castro.

On a note more upbeat than the thought of roasting parents, our favorite vacation was spent with Mrs.L's sil, bil, kids and dog houseboating on the Canal du Midi in SE France.

I would HIGHLY recommend checking it out for a most relaxing and pleasant holiday.
