Ticker Wars (Updated)

I couldn't be happier at the ticker that the U.S. Interest Section in Havana is using to display messages to the Cuban people. The best part about it is that fidel is visibly bothered by the messages, so much so that he organized a rally to make sure he reminds his people who's boss.

This is one of the rare times in U.S. - Cuba relations that our government is doing something clever and constructive. No empty rhetoric, no bluster, no posturing, no empty promises. Just a simple ticker scrolling pro-freedom, pro-democracy messages on the side of a building near El Malecon. And it's pissing the bearded bastard off.

Kudos to Interest Section chief Michael Parmly for having the picardia (gumption) to use the ticker during fidel's "million man march". Looks like he's taking cues from his predecessor James Cason.

I have one idea for Mr. Parmly as far as what he should display on the ticker:
