Also, You Can't See Cuba From Key West

As it turns out, you can only see about thirty miles into the ocean, looking south from Key West, and although I'd been told that on a clear night, you could see the light from Havana looking south from Key West, I didn't see anything.



So there's that.

Also, although everyone is denying it, I noticed an article in The Miami Herald this afternoon, which was all about the GOP longing for a Jeb Bush 2012 President run. I can't remember if I wrote about Jeb on here, but as far back as 2004-ish?, when I was writing for The Radical Center website, I ranted and worried about Jeb Bush, in part because I've long seen him as the Michael Corleone of the Bush Family. Dubya was Sonny, BTW.



I'll go into the reasons I'm concerned about Jeb Bush if it looks like he's liable to make a run. Really though, I think it's much more likely he runs in 2016 or 2020, which still puts us in the right timeframe for a total financial/social catastrophe.

Also, I always love it when people read things I've written, and it seems that an English class is reading 'Jane and the Raven King'. Way to go, Mrs. Duff!
