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

I just found out that Fidel Castro wants to build an amusement park in Cuba. Insert joke here.
Let me give a hat tip to the blog Child of the Revolution, for reporting this story, and to Babalu Blog, for mentioning it and for providing me with the inspiration for the following post.

So what else is new? The MSM rarely hides its adulation of Castro. Look at this AFP (surprise, surprise, Agence FRANCE-Presse) piece, if you can stomach it:
Cuban leader Fidel Castro, sidelined by intestinal surgery almost eight months ago, is now recovering at a faster pace, taking part in daily government affairs, and fueling […]

Darn, I heard it wrong. The title is “Castro’s In Better Health.” So says Cuban Foreign Minister and Castro stooge/puppet Felipe Perez Roque (and we know how truthful those clowns are), according to a story on Miami’s WFOR-TV’s website:
Even though he hasn’t been seen in live television or in public for almost a […]

The following message, originating on this website as far as I can tell, came to my attention via Babalu Blog:
Urgent SOS from Havana to the International Press and International Community.
Christian Liberation Movement in the Exterior
According to information provided by Leader and National Coordinator of the Christian Liberation Movement and Sakjarov Prize winner Oswaldo J. […]

Miami Herald headline: “Rights panel knocks at Chávez’s door.” I think they’re going to get the same warm reception telemarketers get when they call me:
The human rights arm of the Organization of American States Friday protested Venezuela’s refusal to let in one of its investigative missions for nearly five years, further straining relations […]

That’s the headline of an article in today’s Miami Herald. If I recall correctly, a few leftists are upset about this program because it encourages doctors to leave Cuba. In other words, it works. Perhaps the opponents of this program should aim their focus at the reasons why doctors (and anyone else […]

The Daily Herald, a newspaper published in a suburb of Chicago, has a great article on their website today about three men who left Cuba for freedom decades ago. This article is particularly near and dear to me, as I was born in a suburb of Chicago myself and I lived there until I […]

Argh, as a pirate would say. The blog/site was down earlier today due to some sort of technical glitch with our hosting company, which shall remain nameless. Methinks it might have been caused by the switch to Daylight Savings Time earlier in the year than normal.
Oh well, we’re back up now. […]

Condolences to the family and friends of radio host and journalist Agustin Tamargo, 82, who passed away earlier this week. Mr. Tamargo was a staunch anti-Castro personality who worked on Miami’s Radio Mambi (link in Spanish).
For those of you ignorant useful idiots who like to dismiss anyone who is critical of […]

Republican Presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney came to Miami last night to raise funds for his Presidential campaign, as part of the Republican Party of Miami-Dade County’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner.
Disclaimer: I was there with my girlfriend. Lest you think this means I am awash in cash, we were […]
