More than that. He applied for an immigration visa which is on record. He was rejected, however.

One of my personal favorite theories was that Kennedy was whacked by organized crime. Even then, there were two Cuba angles: first was how many mobsters involved like Carlos Marcello and Sam Giacana have testified that Jimmy Hoffa worked with the CIA on Castro assassination plots. The second angle is how supposedly CIA-trained anti-Castro commandos were the agents of the Mafia.

There was a great short story by Harry Harrison where a time traveller goes back to witness a historical event, only to find that everybody else there was also a time traveller. I figured the Kennedy assassination was something like that – everybody there were killers tripping over themselves.

One of the better-developed conspiracy theories is that Oswald was hired by Castro (on the advice of the KGB) to murder JFK in retaliation for then-attorney general Robert Kennedy’s many attempts on Castro’s life.

Supposedy, the “proof” for this is that Oswald, prior to the assassination, met in Mexico City with known members of Cuban Intelligence.

According to some people that knew him, Lyndon Johnson went to his dying day believing it was Castro, so LBJ is one of the biggest supporters of the “Castro did it” theory.

The other theory is that Cuban exiles, Anti-Castro fighters from Operation: Mongoose were involved with the CIA and the assassination. I know less about this one, but Joan Didion goes on about it in her book “Miami.”

What was the Cuban angle to the Kennedy assassination, other than the Bay of Pigs?

It’s weird: the Cuban connections keep on popping up whenever Nixon is talked about. The actual Watergate burglars were Cuban-Americans, for instance.

I’ve always found it intriguing that there’s always a South Florida and/or Cuban angle to every major American disaster, from the Kennedy Assassination to 9/11 (the hijackers were trained at a Florida school).

I mean seriously, what has he ever done? He wrote speeches for the most crooked President and Vice-President ever to disgrace Washington. He ran a few increasingly hopeless campaigns for President, in the process hijacking poor old Ross Perot’s Reform Party so he could get his hands on the federal matching funds. And he has spent the in-between times fulminating against minorities of every conceivable kind. I can’t recall him ever saying anything that wasn’t predictably, and tiresomely, full of racist bitterness. He isn’t even a very compelling speaker, with that absurd high-pitched voice reminiscent of Joe McCarthy (his beau ideal of a great statesman). Why does he keep getting published and on TV?

It didn’t hurt that his best (and richest) friend, Bebe Rebozo, was Latino (specifically, Cuban).

Actually, it was German immigrants to Central Texas in the 1830s who introduced polka music to the Mexicans – who embraced it enthusiastically. It’s no damn coincidence that Tejano music sounds as if it came from Bavaria – it did!

The Czechs introduced accordions to the Mexicans, but the Mexicans didn’t get the joke.

In defense of the polka, it is the ultimate thrash music- danced by leather pantsed guys wearing kooky hats, with lyrics glorifying substance abuse- these guys figured that out decades ago.

Case in point: Mr Edward Hyde.

Nixon not a racist? You’re a dumbfuck.

I’m not 100% sure of this recipe. I will check with the person who taught me how to make it and get back to you. This is what I remember:

Ingredients:
1 portion New Guinea singing dog
1 rice milk
1 liver of blaspheming Jew
5 pints fleet wolf-herring eye, glazed
3 pints rosemary
1 ounce dill

The first thing you are going to want to do is let the New Guinea singing dog soften. I recommend cutting it into large squares to let it soften quicker. Then you are going to roll the liver of blaspheming Jew with the rice milk out onto a 15 X 9 (roughly) cookie sheet. Bake the dough at 375 F for 10 minutes. YOU MUST LET THIS COOL BEFORE PUTTING ANYTHING ON TOP OF IT. Let it cool for at least 1/2 hour. You can chop up whatever frustrates you while waiting for it to cool and make the New Guinea singing dog center. For the center, mix the wolf-herring and the New Guinea singing dog. You can use Mister Anthony-Douglas Spraying-Rinsed’s raccoon butterfly fish toe but wolf-herring is better for this recipe as you want more of a taste. Mix it with a blender until it is very creamy and there are no lumps. Then add in the rosemary to the New Guinea singing dog mix. Spread the New Guinea singing dog mix over the cooled liver of blaspheming Jew bottom. I recommend putting it in dollups over the dough, so you can spread it around easier. Try not to touch the liver of blaspheming Jew bottom as you are spreading it. The reason why the liver of blaspheming Jew bottom has to be very cool is because otherwise it will start to lift up as you are spreading the liver of blaspheming Jew. Make sure to get all spots where the liver of blaspheming Jew shows. After this is done, sprinkle the rosemary on top. Don’t try cutting it until you have let it cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Before putting it in the refrigerator though, run a knife over the outside of the whole thing, so it is easier to get out later. If you try cutting it into slices before it is cool, the liver of blaspheming Jew and the New Guinea singing dog will run along the knife with you.

Amazing the Sotomayor didn’t get knocked up or pulled into a gang like McDonald tells us most other Hispanics do. But this is not a good reason to praise Sotomayor but simply refuse her entry to the White Man’s Club.
