What is the definition of a Cuban duo? A Cuban quartet after a USA tour.
That is an old riddle-joke, often told while Cuba was a freedomless communist hellhole.
But now things have changed. Since President Obama has opened Cuba to the United States, it is a paradise again. I mean it must be, right?
Uh…before answering, I suggest you read the following excerpt from Christine Rousselle\’s article at townhall.com:
I wrote last week about the surprising number of Cuban athletes who have defected to the United States in the past month at various athletic tournaments. The string of Cuban defections continued this weekend, as one half of Cuba\’s men\’s field hockey team defected to the United States at the Pan-American Games in Toronto. Eight of the 16 members of the team defected to the U.S. and deserted the team as the games drew to a close. The lack of team members forced Cuba to play a modified version of the game with fewer players.
Wow. It started as the Cuba field hockey team, and wound up the Cu fie hoc te.
Just a guess, but I suspect that Fidel and Raul are not salsa-dancing on the streets of Havana over this one.
Let me finish with a question: If things are so much better in Cuba, why do they keep defecting? It\’s not like field hockey players make a lot of money in the states, so you have to think it must be something else.
I wonder what……
