Over 200,000 houses have been flattened, and a quarter of the Cuban population was forced to evacuate their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Cuba\u2019s commie front man, Raul Castro, has stayed behind the scenes. He hasn\u2019t bothered to tour the devastated areas; he hasn\u2019t even addressed his island nation on television. There are whispered complaints that the government has not distributed needed food or aid to those left homeless.<\/p>\n<p>But in the end, it doesn\u2019t matter, becauseCuba is still the Drive-By Media model of government done right! Case in point: Anita Snow from the AP. While admitting, &#8220;Cuba doesn\u2019t have the resources to build new, hurricane-proof buildings,&#8221; she nevertheless exulted:&#8221;But if there\u2019s one thing the communist island does right, it\u2019s evacuations. And in the end, that saves more lives than anything else.&#8221; She also said there\u2019s no looting there &#8212; because nobody has anything! As though we should follow that example!<\/p>\n<p>Wayne Smith, former US diplomat to Havana:&#8221;I think there is a lot the United States can learn from Cuba\u2019s hurricane response system.&#8221; Gee whiz.<\/p>\n<p>My friends, if only we, too, could know the joys of living in dilapidated housing,in abject poverty,and flee on foot &#8211;or in 1950s-era cars &#8211;when hurricanes approach! Becauseeven with our homes flattened, our bellies empty, and our subsidized-rice-cookers gone&#8230;we would know: our government cares! Wow, how lucky the commies are!
