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

A few days ago, we noted on this blog that Spain’s government thinks being buddy-buddy with Castro is a good thing.
That gesture wasn’t forgotten by Cuba’s nearly forgotten dissidents:
The Spanish Embassy on Wednesday offered to meet with opponents of Cuba’s government after Madrid’s top diplomat ended a three-day official visit to Havana […]

If the last post didn’t make you laugh, maybe this one will. Now we have a CNN reporter talking about how great it is that Cubans aren’t interested in material wealth (memo to said CNN reporter: it’s because they’re too busy just trying to survive, barely). “Oh, look at how quaintly the poor […]

The U.S. State Department published a new report today highlighting human rights abuses in Cuba and Venezuela. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the MSM to pick up on this. Just go here and read the article about the report yourself.
Here’s a snippet:
The State Department said in a new […]

Wanna good laugh? Read this.
“This” is basically a fluff piece on the so-called restoration of Old Havana under Castro. Hardy, har har. The inevitable gratuitous cheap shot at America is thrown in for good measure, but then we get the shocker:
Only about 40,000 (tourists to Cuba) are from the U.S., […]

I was stark raving mad after reading a post titled Fear of repercussions by Henry “Conductor” Gomez on Babalu Blog this morning. Here’s why.
A few weeks back, the MSM was all atwitter over the announcement by the communist totalitarian state in Cuba that Castro would be strong enough to “run” for president again in […]

Didn’t I already talk about this on this blog? Yes, I did.
For a second time in a row, the moribund, crusty Castro temporarily removes his foot from the grave, long enough to spew his hot, methane-laced breath about the Bush Administration’s proposed use of ethanol:
Castro chided the Bush administration for its support of ethanol […]

Tour operators in Cuba today must be about as busy as sloths taking a nap. Speaking of naps, a Miami Herald article today notes that Cuba’s tourism industry is on a major siesta:
Cuba’s tourism industry, the island’s main economic engine for the past 15 years, is in a steep fall amid a mix of […]

Just like a couple of kids who refuse to touch something because it has been touched by someone who has the “cooties,” castro and Chavez are doing an about-face on the production of ethanol–only because President Bush likes it. As reported in today’s Miami Herald:
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez was on the ethanol bandwagon. Until, […]

No surprise that the government of Al Qaeda appeasers in Spain would show deference to Castro:
Spain’s foreign minister made an ice-breaking visit to Cuba on Monday, the most senior European Union government official to go to the island since a 2003 dispute over the arrests of dissidents.
Miguel Ángel Moratinos said his official trip marked a […]

Okay, our new poll for April is here!

When will Castro die?

He’s already dead, they’re just doing a “Weekend at Bernie’s” with his carcass

Not soon enough!
