Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.....
The House of Representatives finally managed to find their spine when it comes to standing up to Bush.
The House voted today 221-194 to lift shipping restrictions created by the Bush Administration on gift parcels to Cuba.
The restrictions include things such as not allowing items to be shipped to people that are not immediate relatives (parents, kids, grandparents, etc). Nonfood gifts can't be shipped more than monthly to each household of family members. It used to be once per month per relative.
Apparently these restrictions are supposed to topple Fidel...and heaven forbid that Bush not pander to the Florida Cuban voting contingent.
