Schwarzenegger Causes Cuban Cigar Furore

Californian Governor ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has caused controversy in America after it was alleged he smoked a banned Cuban cigar. Cuban cigars are banned in the U.S. but it is claimed the Terminator actor purchased the prized smoke on a trip to Canada. He was travelling to Ottawa airport when he made a detour to a hotel to pick up some cigars. When asked if was a banned cigar, an aide replied, "There's no way of telling now because he smoked it." U.S. citizens who violate trade laws can face a jail sentence.

Smoking a Cuban Cigar may be a prison-threatening act, but ... Americans want to smoke them; Cuba needs to sell them; who, in their right mind, can insist on a continuation of this stupid, restrictive policy against what we Americans want? Is it because Castro kicked some fat butts out of Havana a long time ago, putting a stop to some financial gutting of Cuba? Or is it because Cuban cigars are shaped like little miniature Interballistic Missiles?- again something from a long time ago? When will American citizens safely be able to enjoy the products and culture peculiar to this little island? What really is the onus against the Cubans? A friend of mine said to me the other day that he'd really like to visit Cuba, just to check it out. The fishing, the muchachas, the rum and cigars, and Catholic Cathedrals makes him feel like he needs to round out his life a little bit before the Guy with the Scythe sneaks up behind him and lops him off at the knees. I had to warn him, "Look out, ol' buddy. That kind of talk might net you a visit from the Feds. And the Feds carry guns, and can shoot big holes in us!" If Governor Schwarzenneger wants to smoke a cigar, that's his business. After all, millions of junior high school kids smoke marijuana, and obviously there's no real trade restriction on that. When can we expect a reality-check on the bureaucrats who pretend to run this country? WEROIU
