Evening Chuckle: Fun with Castro

Hilarious. [H/T Kill Castro]

Castro Resigns

For real. Of course, this means Raul is in charge, but probably only nominally more than he was already. As long as he is still alive, Fidel will continue to pull the strings. None of this means a better life for actual Cubans but, hopefully, it is a start.

Finally! Something We Agree On!

"One day the good Lord will take Fidel Castro away." Why, oh why, can't it be today?

He's Still Alive

Very funny. You win again Satan! For now. (Tick tick tick.)

Bi-Partisan Appeal for a Sensible Cuba Policy

In an op-ed in today's Washington Post, Congressmen Charlie Rangel (D-NY) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) take on the idiotic, entirely political, failed American policy toward Cuba. They call for opening up political and economic co-operation with Cuba to help support positive change on the island for the Cuban people. I agree. I like Flake. I'd feel a lot better if I thought people like him (i.e., sensible people) were the future of the Republican party.

Castro to Run for Re-"Election" in 2008

Apparently, he is making that "good" of a recovery. He'll be President ten-years after he's dead. If he ever dies. Of course, there won't be anything/one left in Cuba to be President of...

Fidel Castro: Most. Hilarious. Death. Ever.

If there was ever a situation that the word schadenfreude was tailor made for, it is this. The story this time is that Castro has had several failed intestinal surgeries which have resulted in him, and this is a bit technical, pooping inside himself. Well...that's just a cryin' shame. I guess the brilliant Cuban health care system that is always held up to distract from the atrocities of the Castro regime isn't so hot after all. Huh. Who ever would have guessed? However hilariously tragic this may be, it doesn't mean anything until the Cuban government announces that Castro has died. But the guy is on his way out. (Just so you know, if you've pooped IN yourself, you're gone. Probably gladly so.) Can we please stop the idiotic embargo now? We've had this policy in place for almost one-fifth of the history of our country and all it has done is help guarantee crushing poverty for millions of people and give a brutal dictator an excuse for the God-awful living conditions he created. Oh and it drove an old man to poop in himself. (I apologize, but I can't get enough of that. BTW, guess how I'm gonna die now.) Funny? Yes. But hardly efficient. [PS: God forgive me.]
