Three greatest achievements of Cuban Commies; Education, Sports, & Medicine
three greatest failures, breakfast, lunch & dinner. ( from Havana Bay, by Martin Cruz Smith, an Arkady Renko novel)
Cascading benefits, of recognition of Cuba diplomatically, windfall expansion of trade with a new found partner in this hemisphere (along with countering Chinese expansion into South America for minerals & oil) ,Checkmating Republican Tent into reveling their inherent exclusion of things Latin. Marco Rubio, " strong man" of Florida, will have now shave 3 times a day.
John Foster Dulles (& brother) ( United Fruit) spinning in their graves) Actions louder than words: innovate a " (Cuban) Doctors within our Borders) to provide rural health care to chronically under served rural America. Want to find out who supports single payer health care? Show up with subsidized mobile clinics (over seen by US doctors) to outlying areas. Remittances back to Cuba by this cadre of Cuban doctors could further fuel economic expansion by both counties.Cubans are well trained medically BTW, and have an exceptionally high literacy rate within their country.
and the music will set us all free……..as was in Denver:

Congrats to Michael Bowman for his op-ed on the Keystone pipeline published in today's Denver Post. Bravo!
I never thought I'd have any reason to want to read anything in that paper again.
Congrats Michael ( . . . and damn you to hell for dragging me back in there . . .)
;~)
D — you'll need to read the whole piece online because the DP creeps only printed a small portion.
Thanks, guys! This is the first of five slots I'm suppose to have as a DP Colorado Voice. We don't get the print version this far east – bummed that they didn't print it in its entirety. That seems odd…
Congrats! It's a good piece, and a breath of fresh air for the Post.
Congrats, Mike, nice alliteration, “Keystone to kilowatts” & visual allegory, of turning the pipeline segments vertical ( for Vesta gen sets).
With Cowboys & Indians alliance, and the Nebr court case against, this pipeline to nowhere (Mitch McConnell) can be defeated.
It is dramatically out of play financially, I would think with the recent nose dive of oil prices, as tar sands extraction is energy & capital intensive, with bare yields, compared to conventional drilling. Look no further than the empty suited bankers who peril the financial world with top heavy loans to the energy drilling sector (IMHO), as to who is calling the tune, absent a coherent energy policy for the US.
Thanks, Dan. If you happen to have a Twitter account there are some fantastic news stories this week on the showdown with the landowners and TransCanada @BoldNebraska. This was, is and will be a flawed project that was always going to require $100 oil to be feasible. The irony is the tar sands are less and less a Canadian asset anyway, once you strip away the direct and indirect ownership of Koch, Inc. and PetroChina. It's time to step in to the next century. I probably say this too often, but "we didn't leave the Stone Age because we ran out of stones."
More from Politico on Keystone outcome by oil price
Michael — you should really check out the print version. It's pretty short, ending with your concept of "turning the pipeline upward" resulting in 150,336 construction jobs. Frankly, I think the idea needs more heft which, I'm sure, occurs in the expanded version. In other words, I would have a discussion with the DP about printing your entire piece, not a truncated version.
I found a print copy and you're right – it's truncated at a very awkward spot when looked at in the context of the entire commentary as written (and online).
Belated congrats!
Republican Family Values
Rep. Blake Farenthold, a Republican Congressman from Texas who was recently outed as the owner of the dirty domain name http://www.blow-me.org, is facing a lawsuit from a former employee who claims he created a hostile workplace filled with gender discrimination and inappropriate sexual comments.
Lauren Greene, who worked for Farenthold from February 2013 through her termination in July 2014, cited a number of incidents of sexually-charged misconduct in a lawsuit filed with the U.S. District Court last week. Greene’s complaint paints a picture of a man-child who couldn’t keep his sexual comments and behavior to himself — so his staff was tasked with keeping him in line. She claimed that Farenthold “regularly drank to excess, and because of his tendency to flirt, the staffers who accompanied him to Capitol Hill functions would joke that they had to be on ‘red head patrol’ to keep him out of trouble.” When she observed that Farenthold seemed to be avoiding her during part of her employment period, his executive assistant, Emily Wilkes allegedly told her “that Farenthold had admitted to being attracted to Plaintiff and to having ‘sexual fantasies’ and ‘wet dreams’ about Plaintiff.”
This is the guy who wouldn't vouch for Obama's legitimacy as president cuz he wasn't in congress when the electoral vote took place. "Had to be there" is something else for this creep.

Reports are out that this year's ACA enrollments has exceeded last year's numbers.

Denver Police Assistance Fund- set up by EHS students to help the officers injured as they left the student protest. (Thanks for your reporting, Jason)
Those Angels – you never can predict what they'll do next.
If Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Colt, Armalite, Browning, Sig Sauer, Glock, or Taurus ever figure out any way to monetize Ebola you can bet we'll have more deaths than can be counted . . .
. . . as well as less FOX coverage.
Hmmmm . . . "You can pry my Ebola from my cold, dead hands" . . . dunno'? — needs work . . .
