One of the truest definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The US has had the same policy for over fifty years towards Cuba and it has resulted in nothing… no one has been released from jail, the Castro brothers are still in charge and some form of communism is still the law of the land. So President Obama decided maybe it’s time to try something new. And what do the Republicans in Congress do? They say they will block his efforts. Apparently they think fifty years is not enough time to count the current policy as a failure. Maybe sixty years will satisfy them? Or maybe they are hoping to outlive the Castro brothers and when the last one finally dies, declare victory.
And once again I think to myself that Washington DC has a higher per capita ratio of idiots to normal people than even Juneau during session.
