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

With a new video out on the tyrant Fidel Castro (I wonder if the folks who made Osama’s video made Fidel’s), everyone’s scrambling.
Castro’s supporters–and I include many in the MSM–are gloating over the fact that he’s apparently still alive. Many of the headlines proclaimed that Castro appeared “stronger” in the video. […]

Here’s a clue: the cause of catastrophic consequences IS socialism:
By pointing out Cuba’s contradictions, our desire is for the revolution to avoid the catastrophic consequences of similar contradictions in former socialist regimes.
That, my dear friends, is the subheadline of a piece (of crap) published in the so-called “Palestine Chronicle.” It’s written […]

Another MSM outlet, this one from Europe, chimes in on how “wonderful” Cuba’s healthcare system is under Castro. They even manage a two-fer, including a plug for Michael Moore-on’s sick flick, Sicko:
Michael Moore’s documentary, Sicko, holds up Cuba as a model. Whether it is a consultation, dentures or open-heart surgery, citizens are entitled […]

Chavez wants to rule days:
President Hugo Chavez threatened on Monday to take over any private schools refusing to submit to the oversight of his socialist government, a move some Venezuelans fear will impose leftist ideology in the classroom.
All Venezuelan schools, both public and private, must submit to state inspectors enforcing the new educational system. Those […]

Ew, gag. The thought of Janet Reno repulses me. Now apparently she put together a three-CD music set (of other people’s music, of course) and the MSM is once again fawning all over her.
It’s called–get ready to laugh–Song of America. Should’ve been called Song of Anti-America. They’re calling it a “musical […]

Alice Walker, who won the Pulitzer prize for her novel The Color Purple, is a useful idiot:
The Cuban government distributed a letter on Wednesday in which American author Alice Walker expressed her support to the children of five Cuban intelligence agents imprisoned in the United States.
Walker, who won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel […]

By violating the U.S. embargo:
“The fact that you’re not supposed to be there, that was the top for me,” said Amit, 29, a New York City native who visited Cuba in September 2006, shortly after the 81-year-old Castro fell ill and ceded power to his younger brother.
“I was like, ‘It’s time to […]

You should’ve stayed home in Mother Russia:
They were young women romantically drawn to Fidel Castro’s revolution, a breath of fresh air on a distant Caribbean island for those who were disillusioned with Soviet communism.
But when the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991, hundreds of Russian women who married Cubans and moved to Cuba were […]

WARNING: Don’t read this Guardian Unlimited piece about the bloody murderer Che Guevara while you’re eating.
Here’s a snippet, if you can stomach it:
Forty years later the anniversary of the death (of Che Guevara) is looming and the scene is transformed: the Cubans are back, socialism is back, and Che is officially […]

Elena Perez, the mother of the four-year-old Cuban girl at the heart of a bitter custody battle between the girl’s Miami-based foster family and her Cuba-based father, dropped a nuclear bomb in the courtroom this week. In trying to prove the father wanted his daughter back with him in Cuba, she had originally shown […]
