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. […]

Joan Crawford Fidel Castro has risen from the grave.   Cuban TV aired a video today of the pale, sickly looking dictator, with the obligatory references to current events. 
Now the Castro (and all commie) government(s) is(are) manipulative as all get out, so I wouldn’t put anything past them. But my guess is the Castro […]

Good, keep that money out of the moribund dictator Castro’s Swiss bank accounts:
Washington’s 45-year-old embargo has cost Cuba more than $89 billion to date, wreaking havoc on everything from primary education to pest control and nearly all other facets of island life, the foreign minister said Tuesday.
Havana produced a 56-page booklet laying out its […]

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 […]

I’m shocked when I find there’s anybody (outside of those who are of Cuban descent) who knows what Castro and his sidekick Che “The Butcher” Guevara are really about. But I’ve just discovered that the Times of London knows the real deal:

No, not our poll (although that wouldn’t be a bad idea, just click here now and start voting).
Opinion Journal has a poll question asking whether the U.S. should ease travel restrictions to Cuba. Go there and vote; the poll is on the right-hand side of the home page.

More MSM fawning over Castroites:
In Cuba, the spies are known as the “Five Heroes,” wrongfully imprisoned. Meanwhile, the man Havana considers responsible for the worst of terrorism in Cuba, Luis Posada Carriles, is a free man living legally in Miami. Posada is accused of bombing a Cuban airliner in 1976, killing 73 passengers. To […]

Stephen Gibbs of the BBC talks about his experience of getting kicked out of Cuba for reportage the Castro regime didn’t like, with a bit of a focus on the logisitics of moving from Cuba itself:
Moving home, they say, is one of life’s five most stressful experiences. It comes in at number three. […]

A U.S. State Department spokesman hinted as much, according to an AFP story published on the La Nueva Cuba website:
“I would say that the Cuban government has always been very good at stirring the nest whenever they felt the need to,” said Gonzo Gallegos, a State Department spokesman.
“I can’t say whether or not this […]

Tomorrow (Monday) a big court date is set for the custody battle between the foster, and would be adoptive parents of a young Cuban girl in Miami, and her father from Cuba:
Nearly eight years after the battle over young Elian Gonzalez divided this city, another Cuban child has become the center of a bitter […]
