“Batista does look pretty mad.”
“Batista was a rebellious non-commissioned officer in the 1933 Cuban Army and became the indisputable leader of the revolutionary faction within the military. Fulgencio Batista took over power during the bloody “Sergeants’ Revolt” and forced a military coup with the help of students and labor leaders, thus taking control of the government. He promoted himself to the rank of Colonel and summarily discharged the entire cadre of commissioned officers. Many officers fearing for their lives, barricaded themselves into the National Hotel.
The Hotel Nacional was the fanciest hotel in Cuba, but that didn’t stop Batista from shelling it, using the Cuban war ship, the SS Cuba. Those officers who were not killed outright were jailed and “pax Batistiana” began. Batista controlled the short-lived five man Presidency of Cuba, which was called “The Pentarchy of 1933.” This ruling body was followed by the Presidency of Ramón Grau San Martin, a professor of the University of Havana, who held the office for just over 100 days. Carlos Mendieta followed and stayed in power for 11 months, after which Batista set himself up as the strong man behind a continuing succession of puppet presidents. Although calling himself a “Progressive Socialist,” Batista was supported by the “Communist Party” which had been legalized in 1938. In time much of this changed!”

“Batshit Kind of Love
The type of love that can’t be described with words…
The type of love that can’t be measured by time…
The type of love that inspires haters to hate…
The type of love that makes no sense to those around you…
The type of love that exists in the beautiful eyes in which you can see all of your tomorrows… all of your children and grandchildren…
The type of love that makes you feel like forever will not be long enough…
The type of love that is born out of a relationship that is built on honor, respect, and truth...
That is our love... That is our connection...
The batshit kind of love that makes no sense at all…
and at the same time… all the sense in the world…
That is us…
You and me; a “WE.”
