Surgeons Fought For Hours To Save Castro's Life

Don't you realize that while it takes the average Cuban factory worker three months to earn enough to pay for an X-ray, and seven months for a pensioner to save the money necessary for an X-ray, the uninsured in America are denied medical care completely? So the Cubans are inconvenienced by having to save their money for X-rays, that's paradise compared to having no access to medical treatment whatsoever, just ask those in an American emergency room waiting to be turned away for having no insurance.

Sarcasm I am assuming.

Too late. What was I thinking?
That is so-o-o disgusting and something I NEVER needed to know.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I was hoping.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I looked before I read your post.
I resolve to be more careful in the future.
After I am well.

He's dead - and dollars to donuts, so is Raul. Why isn't the designated heir speaking? Why is the military filling the streets? Can we all say "coup," boys and girls?

Aren't the Bay of Pigs plans still somewhere, on microfiche?...

Those people HAVE to play act for tourists, its called a Potemkin Village

I truly am sorry. I should have put the disclaimer in the first post. No one should have to see that.

[Veto!]

Right. It's all an act.

When the official guide who did the running commentary on the tour bus from Havana to Pinar discovered that we were Americans, she took us aside at a rest stop and asked about getting some documents translated so she could make her getaway to NY. Then she hopped back on the bus and continued spewing commie propaganda. A lot of Italians on that bus...they were very hostile to being fed krep.

Virtually everyone we ran into in Havana hated Castro with all their hearts and souls...but I have no way of estimating how many Cubans in the countryside would remain loyal to a continuation of his regime.

I like my Mohammed version too.

[SaxxonWoods]

"And I think he's still dead."

I think Raul is dead too.

Lead poisoning got them both, perhaps.

Where's Dr. Kevorkian when we need him?

I surely second -that- warning.

EXCELLENT!

FWIW, that's why I linked to the Wikipedia page about it. It's pretty much all text, no shock graphics, and within a few sentences, any person can tell whether they want to continue reading or not.

The first time I saw the original goatse image, I though I was gonna puke.

The flip-side are all the humorous goatse parodies and tributes that have emerged elsewhere. Content warning on that link too, of course.

never heard of this stuff before. Just figured after my last tag was banned , maybe my *ahem* danish cartoon portrait of muhammed ( peanut butter and jelly) might not be. any similarity to any other reference is merely a bonus.

[Emmett McCarthy]

That would be nice.

Ah, so. Sorry to hear your previous tag was banned; I did a quick check of your past posts and think I found it... ;-)
