Under Castro, even with the US boycott, Cuba consistantly was at the top of human services like health care and education. While certainly not a Democracy, Cuba has been less represive of its people than most US supported countries in Latin America.

Press secretary to the President of the United States is no job for a lightweight such as lil Dana Perino. But if she were actually competant, she would be overqualfied for <em>any</em> job in the Bush Administration. And honesty? Surely you jest!</p> Seems to me Dana Perino has been given a easy time from the beginning because she’s so “cute” and “blond” and “nice”.
