With a population of over 11,000,000 people Cuba remains an untapped market for American goods. Cuba's infrastructure is based largely on Pre-Revolution American and Soviet technology. Cuba has an estimated GDP at $144.6 Billion, with a huge possibility for expansion.

Cuba's recent discovery of Oil gives it the ability to be a powerhouse in the Oil industry if they can properly develop their resources.

Cuba is also a large producer of Sugar Cane which is what Brazil uses for Ethanol allowing the import of Cuban Sugar into the US would significantly decrease the price of Sugar and make it viable as a fuel alternative.

Which leaves Cuba a Gold mine if managed correctly. As the Cuban people become wealthier through exports they will also want more finished goods. Which the US can supply and develop a trade relationship.

We've had a few diaries highlighting the paranoia that persists in the modern GOP. It's no wonder that a Republican Ron Paul became the point man for 9/11 truthers and Black Helicopter dodgers. Now we see that it's not just the base that is worried about Government out to anal probe them, it's the RNC's potential leadership.

After 8 years of every decision calculated for political and personal gain rather than the benefits for the country. The Modern Republican is unable to perceive policy that is just good with no ulterior motive other than fixing the mess they caused.

And here we come to Ken Blackwell, the failed candidate and vote stealing moron who's attempting to lead the Republicans deeper into the wilderness.

From Ken Blackwell's Comedy Stylings, tip your waiters

Man you just can't write this drama. Huge Kudos to the Tennessee Democrats who put this stunning move together. They lost seats in the General election but turned their Minority position into an advantage. Hopefully they'll be able to effectively stop the Tennessee GOP's plans for the state.

The Human Rights Campaign petition is raising support for its "Blueprint for Positive Change," aimed at fostering equality for gays and lesbians.

This is the kind of dialogue we need to be having. There is way too much undirected and wrongly directed outrage going on here. Two full newsdays are going to pass by without anyone actually having a Conversation on Gay rights. It's ok to be outraged however when outrage is the message you're sending you're much more likely to be ignored.

When Obama began his campaign he set out to win and to inspire the country. His first speeches in Iowa focused on bringing more people into the political process. To get the American people involved in running their government again. The abuses of the last 8 years only succeeded because the American people were divorced from politics.

Well he's inspired Caroline Kennedy and plenty of other people with her. These people aren't the most experienced and they're not all going to have the same connections as a Kennedy but their goals are the same.

The keyword anyone should say defining McCain's pick is desperation. John McCain is in the dumps and he needed to choose someone to get the media spotlight back on him. What kind of media obsessed celebrity can't handle being out of the limelight for a week?

On Sarah Palin the keyword is no experience, she has no experience. Not some experience, not a bit of experience, but no experience on foreign policy or even the economy.

August 27th is the last full day to help retire Hillary Clinton's debt. After today she's going to have to take a hit on all of the money she owes.

I think after the speech she gave tonight she deserves one final surge of support. It's one way we can do our part to bury the hatchet.

Right now the Texas GOP is running an ad attacking Obama for not taking care of his half-brother who lives in Kenya. I think we've all heard this story being played out. CNN recently interviewed his brother and he seemed like a very intelligent man and he said he's committed to finding his own way in life.

Obviously this isn't enough for the Texas GOP but they've attacked Obama on the wrong subject because it exposes McCain's own family problems.

The Supreme Court is much more than 9 old people in a dress sitting on a "bench." The Supreme Court is THE most powerful institution under our constitution. The Congress and the Executive Branch must abide by the rules. The Next President in 4 to 8 years will appoint around 3 or more Supreme Court justices.

It is with the utmost urgency that we must make sure that Barack Obama wins the Presidency for that reason and no other. Barack Obama could flip flop and say he wants to keep my family in Iraq for 100 years and I would still vote for him to keep the Supreme Court out of the hands of the Republican party.
