This has just come out about Yasiel Puig, now a Dodgers star and not long ago an escapee from Cuba. Crazy story!

Here's another case from a while ago.

Seriously, can't we just end the Cuba embargo already... it's beyond ridiculous. Yeah, they're an oppressive Communist regime, but it's not like we're not supporting far worse governments; there is no other nation the US treats anything remotely like what it does to Cuba. Maybe Castro will have to die before finally something can happen, but it should. Maybe it'll even help open up Cuba some, too.
Either that or we should be consistent and treat China just like we do Cuba. I can't see that getting anywhere.
