Everything Must Go

Reports again of trouble in southern Florida, prompting hard thoughts of a potential firesale of the entire state to Cuba. Think of it more along the lines of a merger; the terms could be simple: Castro steps down. They'd get millions of relatively prosperous lost sons, prime real estate, lucrative theme parks, and an aging but by and large wealthy bunch of white folks that our health care system can't support anyway. We'd get rid of Castro, then get a good night's sleep. And oh, yeah: as a bonus to us, they keep Jeb Bush.
