Instead, Raul “Fidel Lite” Castro is probably prepping for his photo ops with Sean Penn and Danny Glover who have, in turn, probably already made their Havana travel arrangements: Head on down to Cuba to sip Mojitos and fire up a Cohiba or two. Or eight, with El Supremo Numero Dos. Now that Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has shoved both boots in his boca and revealed himself for the ego-supremo-loco he’s always been, Los Progresivos Americanos need a new Man in America Latina. The brand promise of 21st Century Cuba? Still looks a lot like the second half of the 20th. If it’s a good year, everybody gets a new rice cooker. Hotel jobs on capitalist islands look pretty good in comparison. Although Penn and Glover (never to be confused with Penn and Teller) would beg to differ. Yeah, viva la revolucion. Brand X.
