Blogging buddy Henry Gomez of Babalu blog has something on Pajamas Media today. He'd make a great addition to Pajamas Media. The banners might bother him- Babalu has one of the most functional blog designs out there.

What is the position of the Cuban community towards post-Castro but Communist Cuba? What if things get a little better on the human rights front like in..., well..., no Communist country ever, but Cuba could be the first. Or, it could mix in a dash of capitalism like Vietnam and China. What then? Will productive people immigrate into Cuba like in the first half of the century? I'm pessimistic myself. I think Cuba as the second, third, or fourth best place to live in the Americas is a past it may never reclaim for a variety of reasons which I won't go into now.
