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

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 […]

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, […]

The Boston Globe is reporting that “Castro spent several days close to death,” according to his buddy and budding dictator Hugo Chavez:
Cuban leader Fidel Castro spent several days on the point of death, but is now out of his sickbed, his close friend and protege Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday.
A Cuban government […]

Senator John McCain made a campaign stop in Miami today. I’m not a big fan of him as a politician, but as a veteran myself, I do respect how he distinguished himself in the military and I appreciate the sacrifices he made in Vietnam especially when he was held prisoner for several years. […]

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 […]

Here’s a piece from a Reuters dispatch today on Castro’s buddy, titled “Venezuela says U.S. drug accord not needed: report:”
Venezuela does not plan to sign an anti-drug accord with the United States, local media quoted Venezuela’s top anti-drug official as saying on Saturday, days after Washington criticized Caracas for failing to crack down on […]

The ratfink Castro has stuck his nose out of his rathole today just enough to remind the world he continues to pollute it with his presence. Here’s a funny quote from an AP article today about the bearded dictator:
“…his country is running smoothly without him at the helm.”
Does that mean AP is admitting it […]

Wow, I’m pleasantly surprised. The San Francisco Chronicle actually published an article today with the title Cuban doctors defect from Venezuela posts. I’m shocked they’d admit that.
Of course, the piece doesn’t come without the typical Castro apologia about “free healthcare,” but they also mentioned this:
Cuban doctors are not permitted to talk […]

Our Venezuelan friends are painfully aware of what Castro’s favorite hand-puppet, Hugo Chavez, is quickly becoming. News is out that they’re beginning to take steps against the would-be next Great Caudillo of Latin America:
Taking a cue from the Cuban-American exile community, Venezuelans in South Florida are turning to radio to slam their homeland’s […]

Big freaking whoop-de-do. Castro’s on TV with Chavez. After three months underground, the ventriloquist and his dummy show up on Cuban state television, according to a breaking AP report. According to the AP, Castro and his puppet-boy Chavez made a big show of the tape having been made recently:
Both leaders appeared to take […]
