Fidel Castro, Cuba, castro death watch, havana, habana

Just another plug for my now monthly poll (I’ve decided to make them monthly, for now). The poll question this month is How are you going to celebrate when Castro dies?
Oh yes, thanks for visiting Castro Death Watch and thanks in advance for taking the poll!

Anyone remember Magda Montiel Davis, the lawyer who kissed Castro on his cheeks (I should point out she may have been caught on video kissing him on his facial cheeks, but she’s been kissing him on his other cheeks ever since, if you know what I mean).
The St. Pete Times has done a fluff piece […]

Looks as though the folks at Parade Magazine are asleep behind the wheel. They just released their list of the World’s Worst Dictators for 2007 and NEITHER Castro brother makes the cut.
Hello, Parade??? What were you thinking? Or were you EVEN thinking?

Satellite dishes are technically illegal in Castro’s Cuba, but the communist government would often turn a blind eye to them just as long as their sheep, er, I mean, their people, would only watch entertainment programming (something about “bread and circuses,” only there isn’t much bread–or much of anything else that’s edible–in Cuba).

Associated Press ran a story picked up by numerous outlets–including Yahoo! News–about a poll by Ipsos on Americans’ attitudes towards Cuba and Fidel Castro.
As with any AP story, the media outlets that run it are free to use AP’s headline or make their own. As could be expected, most of the press picking up this […]

The BBC’s headline makes it sound as though it were a big deal: Cuba’s Castro ‘able to eat again’. Really? Well, big freakin’ whoop-de-do. Dog bites man.
How about this for a headline: Cuba’s people able to eat again? 11 million Cubans go hungry everyday on the island but the MSM could […]

Even though the Castro dictatorship loves to strangle any opposition in Cuba, thanks to the Internet, dissidents now have a voice that can be heard around the world. Reuters today published an article on this titled Cuban dissidents tap cyberspace from abroad (via Yahoo! News). Here is an excerpt:
Leading Cuban dissidents who are […]

Just another plug for my first-ever poll. It’s still active and fun to take, plus it only takes a couple of minutes to, um, take.
Besides, we think you’ll like the poll question: How are you going to celebrate when Castro dies?

Today is President Ronald Reagan’s birthday. He’d be 96 if he were alive now.
President Reagan was credited with helping to, as he himself said it, put “Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history.” Alas, it was not meant to be so for Cuba. But it is notable that among those who support […]

The Daily Bulletin, a Southern California newspaper, tells the story of a man whose heart, if not his mind, is in the right place:
A judge ordered a psychological evaluation Monday for the Upland man who says he planned to use his massive gun collection to overthrow Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
The man, whose name is Robert […]
