Whee! A group called “Professionals in the City” is throwing a party at the Cuban Embassy. Val Prieto at Babalu Blog blows the whistle.

Hat tip to Bill at INDC Journal, who asks:

Would your conscience be clear to devour a lavish Hanjeongsik spread with the smiling representatives of Kim Jong Il’s terrible regime? Could you drink and dance the night away with Mugabe’s government goons, whereas Zimbabweans are routinely starved for political reasons? Might it give you pause?

Well, then why is “Professionals in the City” blithely pimping a black tie fiesta at “the elegant Cuban Interests Section … to explore the culture, cuisine, and music of Cuba, one of the most fascinating and misunderstood nations of our time.”

Bill’s got contact info for the party organizers.
