Translating Cuba � Being a Dandy is Now an Official Trade in Cuba / Iv�n Garc�a

Wow. Can you imagine if "Being a Dandy", selling single cigarettes or refilling disposable cigarette lighters being legal(ish) "jobs" here? I don't know. I suppose we must have similar silliness here in America, but that it would be put out on a list of "authorized activities for self employment"... Click below to find out what I'm talking about.

Translating Cuba � Doctrine, Cradle and Bread / Luis Felipe Rojas:

I heard about Translating Cuba a while back on a PBS podcast, but forgot to look into it. I recently came across it and have added it to my Google reader. I try to at least skim through the posts every day because some of them are quite powerful.

This post is by a father, concerned about what the children of Cuba are being taught and what's in their textbooks:

"“which, as a sign of revolutionary benevolence, they have not made us pay for”"

This post got me thinking about a recent controversy regarding our own textbooks being changed. Were you paying attention to that? I was. The thought of our history being any more watered down and screwed around with makes me nauseous. Except we'll be paying for our children's textbooks.

Awesome.
