Can we send Ted Cruz back now?

 

[YankeeFan]

LOL.

Are we supposed to discuss this without discussing politics?

Terrific!

Let the Cohiba's flow.

I guess this move locks up Florida for Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren in'16

Hyman Roth: What I am saying is, we have now what we have always needed, real partnership with the government.

 

[YankeeFan]

What's the full list of news that's come out after the primary?

Amnesty, release of Gitmo prisoners, "torture" report, cromnibus, the freeing of Cuban spies...

What did I forget?

Good question. I'm going to let it go for a while but if the knuckleheads get out of hand we'll lock it.

What, did we run out of countries on Russia's border to cozy up to?

 

[YankeeFan]

Well, the President was right in attempting to restore relations with the Taliban and the Iranians.

And, the reset with Russia worked out well.

Who could doubt his judgement here?

This changes the MLB AL East landscape. The Yankees will now be able to get Manny Rojas in their rotation for 2015.
At worst he will be their # 2 starter. The guy is a flame thrower.

New pressure on St. Pete to build a new stadium for the Rays.

Moving to Havana is now an option.

New business opportunity to ferry people from Miami to Havana for medical treatment?

Get there now before there are McDonalds signs on the sea wall.

Now Cuba can get the Internet and I no longer have to smuggle cigars back from Canada.

 

[qtlaw]

Cuban Cigars!!! Finally, been waiting for 20 years to avoid the "illegal" dance (and having to pay the "illegal" premium).

It's going to be a real bonanza for classic car collectors. A lot of well preserved cars on that island from
the 50's.

It's also a great day for Cuba's Sinatra impersonators. You just KNOW a revived Copacabana is right around the corner.

It's a great day for Barry Manilow but a bad one for the rest of us when that song gets played incessantly.

Biggest collection of classic cars in the world. Crazy.

According to my e-mail, rice farmers are over the moon about this. According to my Facebook feed, the most conservative investor I know, called it the best thing Obama has done as President.

I, for one, eagerly await Ted Cruz's hot take.
