Well, someone writing fortune cookies has a sense of humour. I just finished eating my chinese take-out and pulled this fortune out of the cookie:

It must have been a slow day at work. I have to admit it’s one of the better fortunes I’ve seen though.

War on Iraq is one thing, it was a nice grey area, Cuba’s is different though. Cuba enjoys good relations with many countries outside the United States, including Canada. About the only real comparisons left for the tropical island are North Korea and maybe China, but I’d rank them higher up on the priority list in terms of weapons of mass destruction and brutality against their own citizens.

 

“I think what is happening in Iraq is going to send a very positive signal, and it is a very good example for Cuba, where we saw that last week the Fidel Castro regime ordered the arrest of more than 80 citizens … simply for their ideas,” Mr. Hertell told local reporters.

I’m curious to know how many Americans were arrested last week… just for their ideas. I’m not pointing fingers, everything is relative, right?
