Inspired by this travel piece that was linked to by Babalu Blog, I’ve decided to post my own version of “5 Things You Need To Know For A Wedding In Cuba:”

Selecting a church: Fidel and Raul Castro’s communist Cuba is atheist, so good luck there. But hey, maybe if you promise to change Fidel’s colostomy [...]

Wild, wild horses, couldn’t keep Cubans from yearning for freedom

Or wild colts, as the case may be.
Remember last year when Cuba’s chief propagandist, Ramiro Valdes, said Cuba needs to tame “the wild colt of new technologies” (meaning the Internet)?
Well, via the wonderful blog Bilingual in the Boonies, today I learned about a new blog from Cuba (yes, fron INSIDE Castro’s [...]

Fark blogger: Castro’s “resignation” prompted by his death

Make of this what you will, but I found it interesting. Fark blogger Drew Curtis comes to his own conclusion as to why Fidel Castro’s “resignation” was announced at 3AM and not at a more convenient time:
The only valid reason to make an announcement like that at 3am was that the government was [...]

Castro could face charges in Brothers to the Rescue shootdown

A big “Thanks” to Babalu Blog for pointing this one out:
A Florida congresswoman asked the Justice Department yesterday to bring charges against resigning Cuban leader Fidel Castro for the deaths of four U.S. rescue workers who were killed while looking for Cuban migrants stranded at sea.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., said earlier attempts to prosecute [...]

They’re ba-a-a-a-a-ck

The Code Commie Pinko b**ches are at it again.
Whining about a “lack of free speech” in Miami, they’re going back to Miami–right in front of Versailles Resturant in Little Havana–tomorrow morning at 11AM.

SS Fidel Castro, a sinking ship

I heard about this one on Babalu Blog. It seems a website known as “The Spoof” has published an “article” about Fidel Castro’s first-ever cruise ship. Here’s a snippet:
The new ship which is the pride of the Cuban nation is a bit unusual in that it is made up of 10,000 inner [...]
