Fidel Castro appears on TV again

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Yes, I know. We’ve beaten the dead horse known as Castro, er, I mean, Castro’s TV appearance with his “buddy” Chavez, to death. But I couldn’t help myself when I saw that a news site from Josef Stalin’s homeland of Georgia had an article on the matter.  Ironic, huh?
Fidel Castro appears on TV […]

More media attention

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

I spoke with Tim Cavanaugh of the Los Angeles Times tonight about Castro’s impending doom, what I think it’ll mean for Cuba and Miami, etc. I made the mistake of not asking him when the article he’s working on will be published. I imagine it’ll be published within the next few days. […]

Best product I’ve ever seen: Castro toilet paper

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Miami’s Channel 10 has an article on their website about Miami-area Cuban-Americans selling products based on Castro’s physical condition.
One of the products available–my favorite–is the Castro toilet paper.
I think I’m running low on the Charmin, so I’m going to have to get some Castro TP.

More on the Castro / Chavez video

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

By now I (and you, no doubt) have had a chance to hear all the theories behind the latest Castro/Chavez porn video. “It’s real,” “it’s fake,” etc. Babalu blog even has a poll you can take (for the record, I voted “Dunno. But why haven’t…” although in seriousness, I think the tape is […]

Awww, poor widdle sociawist baby!

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Awwwww, poor widdle sociawists! [sniff, sniff] Let’s all shed some crocodile tears for the so-called “Bolívarian Youth.”
It seems they managed to snooker the Miami Herald into publishing an article about how difficult they have it in Miami. The article, titled Young Miami leftists meet tough crowds is nothing but one long snivel-fest about how […]

Castro on TV

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Big freaking whoop-de-do. Castro’s on TV with Chavez. After three months underground, the ventriloquist and his dummy show up on Cuban state television, according to a breaking AP report. According to the AP, Castro and his puppet-boy Chavez made a big show of the tape having been made recently:
Both leaders appeared to take […]

The Tammy Bruce Show (post)

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Today was the big day: I was on the Tammy Bruce radio show!
Let me say Tammy was great, she’s real sharp and detail-oriented. It was clear to me she had actually taken the time to visit Castro Death Watch and read up about me. I’m sorry to say but, having worked in radio […]

The Tammy Bruce Show

Monday, January 29th, 2007

For anyone wondering what my voice sounds like (hint: think Orlando, Florida and big ears), you can hear it live tomorrow (Tuesday, January 30) on Tammy Bruce’s radio show. I’m not sure she can be heard on regular broadcast radio in the Miami area, but if you click the link in the previous sentence, […]

Castro(’s economy) is dying

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Well, it seems Castro’s intestinal fortitude isn’t the only thing about the dictator that’s not doing well these days. The San Diego Union-Tribune’s website has a story today saying the number of foreign firms in Cuba is sinking–sorta like Castro’s ship:
The number of foreign companies operating in Cuba has continued to decline and a […]

Party planning at the Orange Bowl

Monday, January 29th, 2007

The Miami Herald and others ran a story today about the City of Miami’s plan to host a party when Castro finally keels over (link takes you to an events calendar; click on the January 23, 2007 entry to find, ahem, a meeting to “Discuss an event at the Orange Bowl in case expected events […]
