The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Sorry, Avvocato - it just struck me

    In the discussions regarding Arizona State Univ not giving Pres. Obama an honorary degree, Avvocato noted that "Raul H. Castro" stuck out like a sore thumb on the list of those who have rec'd honorary degrees from ASU.  I replied "Why???"  http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/04/no-honorary-degree-for-obama.php#comment-3435918

    I just realized.  Sorry to not have figured it out.

    I was so in my Arizonan mode in responding to all the anti-ASU and anti-AZ comments - and the ones that needed context, that it struck me as strange why anyone would question an honorary degree for the Arizona-Governor-turned-Ambassador from the 1970's.  He was the first governor I knew about and had seen in person, so it was perfectly natural that he was honored by ASU.

    I was so not thinking about Fidel's bro.  So sorry, Avvocato (and anyone else who wondered about my comment)
