Retiro feliz, Castro

It looks like the biggest, baddest revolutionary on the planet is retiring with his gold watch and pension plan intact. Happy retirement, Castro - you fascist dictator, you.

Now is the time to bust that embargo wide open. What better way to finally tank the Cuban communist economy than by flooding it with commercial goods hawked and pushed by a capitalist machine that has pervaded all other corners of the globe? Roll in there and buy all of those pristine classic cars and sell them some Hyundai’s, which means they'll need 50 Hyundai dealerships to service the cars (send them that “Huuuuge” guy - good riddance). Give them enough Starbucks coffee to get them addicted and then set up 500 Starbucks locations. Give Paris Hilton and her friends all visas and let them strut around Havana making young Cuban girls feel too smart and too fat - they'll all buy pink bedazzeled phones and diet pills (bonus: PH won’t be here).

The plan is genius. Pretty soon, Raul Castro and his regime will be crushed under a wave of materialism. If 50 years of CIA ingenuity can't kill communism in Cuba, maybe Pepsi and McDonalds can give it a shot.

Billy Fuccillo is known as Billy Fernandez for his Arizona dealerships - he'll probably fit right in in Cuba.

Good - yes, lets export both!

In fact, lets give tax incentives to companies that do business in Cuba. If American companies didn't have to pay taxes on reveue from business done in Cuba, things would get moving fast.
