Danny Ortega Whips Out the Castro Playbook

Only a Latin American country would willfully elect as its president a man who had plunged the nation into a bloody civil war, leaving it in economic ruins all the while sexually molesting his step-daughter. The world is justly outraged over the Czech's seeming inability to outlaw child-porn but nary a word has been uttered in the case of Danny.

Lately Danny has been making a nuisance of himself, as we knew he would. He got all huffy when Esso refused Venezuelan oil so he slapped a back-tax accusation at them. Sound familiar? That is pretty much what ended it between the US and Cuba during the Eisenhower Admin. In June 1960 American oil refineries in Cuba refused Soviet oil shipments and Castro nationalized them.
