Why Chávez, Castro bash U.S. ethanol plan

Reporters are taught to question everything. That is, unless they’re dealing with Castro’s government:
Cuban President Fidel Castro is exercising daily and has regained the 40 pounds he lost after surgery last summer, and his health crisis is “definitely behind us,” Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque told Mexico’s daily newspaper Reforma.

Perez denied that Cuba […]

Or much better still, in person? Oh, if only.
Cuba’s–and the MSM’s–obsession with the 79-year-old Luis Posada Carriles reached a fever pitch today:
Cuban university students symbolically tried Luis Posada Carriles on Monday, accusing the anti-communist warrior of teaming up with Washington to commit decades of terrorist attacks.

The issue isn’t whether or not he did what he’s accused of doing (for which he has already been acquitted, I might add).
The issue is simply that ANY so-called “evidence” the Castro government would present is suspect on its face.
Three Cuban lawmakers have condemned the Justice Department’s decision to send […]

Vote in our new May poll:

Why did Fidel Castro miss May Day this year?

The formaldehyde is wearing off and Castro’s carcass is beginning to decompose.

Hugo Chavez wasn’t up to the task of putting his hand up Fidel’s wazoo and speaking without moving his lips.

He was too embarrassed to go out in public after wiping his […]

Like an airplane about to crash, looks as though Castro missed the proverbial runway on May Day this year:
There was no sign of a convalescing Fidel Castro as hundreds of thousands of Cubans marched through Havana’s Revolution Plaza to celebrate May Day, casting new doubts on his recovery and whether he will return to […]
