They might not be playing any baseball but they are going to get some Maine potatoes.

I still don't understand the persistence of this embargo...

We certainly have no problem trading with China...

I thought it was the US reliance on Chinese food, but the recent trend of Cuban sandwiches and mojitos seems to have nullified that theory...

We have a military presence on their island, isn't that enough?

Utterly ridiculous.

The Cuban Embargo does nothing but keep old political grudges alive. To rule out a sporting event that could do nothing but improve relations between the US and Cuba is assinine.

Dammit, we agree on something. Does this mean I need to become pro-embargo?
