Come to think of it, if the phones had access to Twitter, things would get *really* interesting.

David Lazarus is an idiot who’s been inflicted upon the SF Bay area for years as a business columnist. Nice to see him getting out in the world for further fisking.

I don’t think Cubans in Cuba are strangers to private business. Those fifties cars don’t run by magic.

Does this mean that Cubans in Cuba will be able to call their families in Florida ?

And what might that mean for the future of Castro-ism.

it’s quite interesting to see Raul ease things in cuba as well as planning to ease them further. keep in mind that it was Raul himself that negotiated the plan to install Soviet nukes, as well as spending a whole lot of time in Moscow and being an ardent marxist.

maybe it goes to show that times change, and old paradigms can slowly fade away to nothing more than pages in history. but maybe these actions are simply to slowly strengthen cuba as a member of the south american marxist community (venezuela, bolivia, sometimes peru and ecuador).
