The Miami Herald reports:
Caleb McCarry, 43, will serve as the Cuba ''transition coordinator,'' a position mandated by President Bush a year ago to implement measures designed to help bring an end to Fidel Castro's 46-year rule and provide assistance to a subsequent democratic Cuba.
''For nearly 50 years, the regime of Fidel Castro has condemned the people of Cuba to a tragic fate of repression and poverty,'' Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said as part of McCarry's introduction, adding that the appointment will ``accelerate the demise of Castro's tyranny.''
But is it really OUR job to have a U.S. government official charged with "transitioning" the government, albeit evilly repressive, of another country?
Oh yeah. I forgot.

Imagine our outrage if, say, France, fed up with our nonsense, appointed a "transition coordinator" to straighten OUR behinds out.
I heard it on NPR and then WENT LOOKING for news stories on it. Indeed, no one much is paying attention.
It's at best a political move, designed to keep Florida's Cuban population voting Republican. It's at worst another step toward (attempted) World Domination.
Scary.
Scary.
