Letting Donald Trump speak at the United Nations is like allowing Satan to speak in church. But there he was yesterday, spewing his usual blustering bullshit about Iran and… Cuba? He doesn’t yammer about it as often as he does Greenland, but he reiterated his claim that the U.S. would depose the island nation’s leadership. In response, the Cuban delegation walked out, which sets a good example of how people should respond whenever Diaper Donnie starts to speak.
Rapacious Americams, starting with Southern slavers, have coveted Cuba for two centuries now, and so far it’s never been more than a daydream. Jimmy Buffett wrote about it back in his Key West days, and it became the title track to his sixth LP, released in 1976. He released it as a single but it didn’t crack the Hot 100; he wouldn’t hit it big until the next year, when he released his only Top 10 hit, “Margaritaville.”
