THE WORLD CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH CZECH BABES:
Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful (Patrick O'Hannigan, 8/11/2006, American Spectator)
It's not just Cuban exiles who despise Castro and his cult of personality. In a July 24 story headlined "Cuban regime feeling heat from Czechs," Miami Herald reporter Pablo Bachelet summarized the current climate this way: "Once a subservient member of the Soviet bloc, the Czech Republic is now one of Fidel Castro's top foreign tormentors, providing material and moral support to dissidents, leading efforts to condemn the island's human-rights record in U.N. bodies and pushing a reluctant European Union to take a tougher stance on Castro." Czech support for Cuban dissidents goes beyond badgering the United Nations and funding clandestine radio broadcasts. This detail could have come straight from a pitch meeting for a movie of the week, but it really happened: "Czech supermodel Helena Houdova slipped into the island and took photos of Cuban slums. Police detained her for 11 hours, but she managed to smuggle out the camera's memory card in her bra -- creating a media stir in Prague and later displaying the photos in an exhibit."Posted by Orrin Judd at August 12, 2006 9:29 AM''The revolution's watchmen rose up because I was taking pictures of something they do not like,'' the 1999 Miss Czech Republic told journalists.
No pictures?

These look like they might be some of her pictures.

The model is very pretty in the pictures where she hasn't injected her lips ala Angelina J.

Posted by: erp at August 13, 2006 7:41 PMThe US can't have enough Czech beers. Too bad Pilsner Urquell hasn't been the same since the big distribution deal with a US company, and the b*stards at Anheuser Busch prevented the real Budweiser from being imported until just recently. But they can't call it Budweiser--be on the lookout for Czechvar beer...
