Yes, I do find these "Big Stick Diplomacy" jokes rather tasteless, as if somehow I was planning to grab one of Teddy's big sticks and smash Debbie's empty Cuban head into a million pieces. Nothing was further from my mind, but I cannot let these stupid Cuban "Big Stick" jokes pass unnoticed for anything but treasonable trickle that requires some remedy, although I am not sure what should be done about that.
