This week a number of visiting Cuban performers asked for asylum in the U.S.
Forty-three members of a Cuban dance troupe performing at a Las Vegas casino asked for asylum in the United States on Monday in the one of the biggest mass defections of entertainers from the communist country.Meanwhile, thousands of dejected Kerry voters who are plotting their exodus from Bush's Amerika are undoubtedly asking themselves: "What's wrong with those Cuban entertainers? Don't they know that the U.S. doesn't have Cuban-style healthcare?" Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at November 20, 2004 10:28 AM
Funny that the distraught anti-Bushers aren't thinking about emigrating to Cuba.

Reminds me of that old pre-1991 joke: Q. What is a strong quartet? A. A Soviet orchestra after a western tour.
Posted by: Alex Bensky on November 28, 2004 10:39 AMi'm an 'anti-busher' (sic) and i'm considering moving to cuba. the only reason people from other countries want to come to the US is the tide of media propaganda which sells it as the land of opportunity and freedom. anyone who has spent any amount of time in america is rapidly disabused of those misapprehensions. hasta la victoria siempre, mofos.
