Cec just heard on the radio that the US Government denied entry visas to the members of the Cuban band Buena Vista Social Club, who were supposed to get an industry award in the US shortly. She was stomping around the place ranting "Fools! Cultural idiots! Monkeys!..." (She's a big fan of BVSC.) Then she asked me why the American Minister of Culture doesn't get involved. I had to say we don't have a Minister of Culture, cuz in the US there's no Ministry of Culture.
She thought for a moment and said "Well, that explains everything, doesn't it?"
