Either these guys are kissing major butt, or they have the most deliciously wicked sense of sarcasm:
The Cuban Journalists Union (UPEC) granted “President” Fidel Castro the Prize to (sic) Dignity for his exceptional merits and his work in favor of the Cuban press.
Prize of Dignity?!?!?! To CASTRO!?!?!?! Har, har, I’ve been laughing all day over this one! Castro’s propagandists clearly have a great sense of humor! Too bad it’s unintentional on their part.
After last year’s song-and-dance over Fidel Castro’s 80th birthday, there isn’t much talk about his eighty-worst now. Granma’s English website just has a silly cartoon and some kiss-up letters from the five convicted spies serving their sentences in the U.S.
Funny, I wonder if they’d publish letters from the political prisoners languishing in Cuba’s prisons.
For that matter, I wonder if El Comandante’s even around today, or if he’s in a much warmer place, where candles would be irrelevant. Either way, unhappy birthday, Fidel. You earned it.
At a time when the most visible movie related to Cuba is a sick(o), twisted propaganda piece on Castro’s so-called “health system,” here’s a breath of fresh air:
Now, more than a decade later, (niece of Brothers to the Rescue shootdown victim Armando Alejandre, Jr., Christina) Khuly wants to make the tragedy real for a much broader audience with the Oct. 1 release of Shoot Down, her blow-by-blow account of the Feb. 24, 1996, downing of two Brothers to the Rescue aircraft.
The 90-minute documentary tells the rich back-story of the most serious crisis across the Straits of Florida since the 1962 missile showdown, from the growing tensions produced by Cuban rafters washing up to the Florida shores like debris to the Cuban opposition’s bold demands for political change.
Wow, where has July gone? In case you’re wondering, other than a very brief (as in, WAAAAAAY too brief) honeymoon (yes, I got married, on July 7th), I did not go on vacation. I’ve just been extremely busy and will probably be just as busy this month.
But at least I got this month’s poll done:
What do you think of the new forced re-design of the site?
