A fitting poem.

There once was a guy named Fidel,
One day at a lectern he fell,
He lay on the floor,
Like a two dollar whore
And everyone thought it was swell!

Reuters keeps using the wrong term to describe this. It's been "resigns" which I think is an insult. Now they're using "retires" as though he was a sweet old grandpa.

It’s about G. d. time.

Not that anything’s going to change in that country as a result. Or will it? I love good news.

The DU eulogizing is just getting underway: ?For all his faults, a notable man of the 20th Century...?

Ha!br>
A very low bar to judge by. The same thing could have been said for Hitler.

Stalin

Mao

Jimmy Carter

Maybe in his 'retirement' he can devote full time to making those cool convertible sofas.

He is taking time off to go on vacation with Jimmy Carter and Dan Blather. Blather and Carter are paying all expenses. Castro is only along for the party time.

Your kidding, right? What do you ask for a person who has destroyed freedom in his country at the point of a gun and had executed those who oppose him? Forgiveness? I think not.

Fidel’s only saving grace, was that Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and Ho Chi Min killed more of their populace than he did his own.

Yeah, but they HAD more.

With his brother and the Communists still in charge, a bit anti-climactic. However, there will still be some celebrating in Miami today.
