Your eyes are much better than mine. I thought it said Fidel Castro, cause of death, immune deficiency.
Golly, I love that song! Perhaps it will inspire El Jefe?
Anybody stop to think that Hugo Chavez may want to take over?
Gimme a 'C'!
Gimme an 'A'!
Gimme an 'N'!
Gimme a 'C'!
Gimme an 'E'!
Gimme an 'R'!
What's that spell? Freedom for Cuba!
No problem for me...
If there's a funeral, Chuckie wants to be the corpse. If there's a wedding, he wants to be the bride. In either case, he'll be on camera.
I plan to be first on the island to buy a '57 Chevy hardtop, a case of rum and point out where Hoffa is buried.
He is dead. He has jumped the shark. He has swallowed the hook. He has gone into that goodnight full of his eternal nightmares
Last week, Hugo told the world he'd talked to Fidel and found him in terrific health. Naturally that meant he was on death's door.
Commies lie. End of communist language lesson #1.
I've never heard that lyric from Stagolee. The last one I've usually read was "we was all glad to see him die". After bad old Stagolee had his neck stretched of course.
He's not pinin', he's passed on! This dictator is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! This is a late dictator. He's a stiff. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-dictator!
Article III. The Government of Cuba consents that the United States may exercise the right to intervene for . . . the maintenance of a government adequate for the protection of life, property, and individual liberty . . .
Are you saying that he is dead? Well, I can assure you a free grooming if you are not completely satisfied...
Oh I know better I just thought it'd be funny too.
It is said of the Roman emperor Tiberius that he was pronounced dead and his adoptive grandson Gaius, called Caligula, proclaimed emperor in succession. Tiberius then revived, to the horror of Caligula and practically everybody else. The problem was resolved by murdering Tiberius (according to one account, he was smothered under a pile of laundry). I wonder if something similar has happened, or is about to happen, to Fidel Castro. It would be a fitting end.
Slave or Free State?
I like the story of Beria at Stalin's deathbed, spitting on the body when he thought he was dead, then falling to his knees praying for his recovery when Stalin opened his eyes.
Look at this way: Chavez must know for a fact that Castro is dead, and he is sweating bullets right now. Chavez could be Castro's money tree for only as long as the world believed that Castro was alive. Without Castro, Chavez' legitimacy is finished.
But now, as goes Castro, so goes Chavez. No guarantee on immortality for the Venezuelan dictator, either.
"Sic semper tyrannis!"
Don't ask,
Don't tell ...
The bell tolls
For Fidel.
ding dong the beard is dead, the beard is dead....
