Castro isn't dead yet. (or at least that's what they keep telling us) Evil never dies. :(

Maybe Fidel will have a heart attack, and Raul will panic and also have a heart attack and they'll die in a haze of pityfull.





A girl can dream right?

Raul Castro becomes Cuba's leader.

I know the mainstream media are squeamish about using the term dictator or even strongman, but would it be asking too much to add the adjective unelected in front of leader?

Ditto. I've been thinking the same thing.
