from the AP wires:

Despite its friction with Washington, Cuba's communist government announced an unprecedented Fourth of July observance to illustrate the regime's respect for Americans and their traditions.

The Communist Party newspaper Granma said the cultural event would be held at the Karl Marx theater Thursday night and feature music and poetry in honor of the "noble" American people.

"The cultural, spiritual and moral legacy of the American people is also the patrimony of Cuba and of the Cuban people," Granma said.


I'm...confused. But whatever. This is cool, but weird. An interesting way of trying to get sanctions dropped, certainly. I'm looking forward to Iran's observance of Columbus Day, and South Korea's Martin Luther King Day parade. Hee.
