No irony in going to Cuba.

If I'm not mistaken, a Reverse Elian is when you high-jack yourself for political purposes of your own and force yourself to fly to Cuba." In other words, it's sort of like when you hold a gun to your own head and say. "Nobody move or the N****r gets it!"

A regular Elian is when everybody else high-jacks you for political purposes of their own. Any guns held to your head are purely to ensure you stay safe and happy where you are. It's like somebody putting a gun to your head and says "Don't move. We don't want to have to shoot you for your own good."

Either way, there is a danger of somebody shooting off your nose to spite your face.

Cuba is like, the best neighbor ever. It's like we share a bedroom wall in a duplex, and there's just never any noise at all. Just strangely quiet, minding their own business and never attracting attention to themselves. Like a Caribbean Finland.

EngineerAU: "Unfortunately, these parents and these poor children, these innocent ones, will now be in a country where there are no laws, there is no redress, and that has been a refuge for fugitives and wanted criminals for many years," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R- Florida, told CNN.

Does R stand for Retard?

And D stands for Dumbass. This concludes todays Poli-Sci 101 course. There'll be a quiz tomorrow.

"My name is Joshua Hakken," he wrote. "I am a father, a registered professional mechanical engineer and a veteran of the USAF. I am absolutely devoted to life, liberty, the rights of the individual and the Constitution of the United States of America." After saying that he had noticed that "things here in Florida have not added up for quite some time," he concluded, "in these crazy times, maintaining open communication lines for ideas, observations and news is absolutely crucial if the 'good guys' are to be successful in surviving to maintain the fight of ideas."

FatherChaos: "Approximately two weeks later, Slidell Police were notified that Mr. Hakken had shown up to the foster family home ... with a firearm demanding the return of his children," the Slidell police statement continued. "The foster parents called 911, and Mr. Hakken fled without his children. We have heard nothing until (Wednesday)."

Yeah, it looks like they took his kids from him for very good reasons. He needs to be institutionalized.

Damn right. You don't go carrying a sidearm into a situation involving the abduction of your children unless you're ready to escalate the situation until people are dead. Jesus Christ, have you not learned anything from 40 years of watching "The Institution" in action?! I say we need to immediately send this guy to any police academy, where he can be properly "institutionalized".
