There once was a commie named Castro,
Whose rule was mostly disastro.
Feeling sad for his kin,
Comrade Obama stepped in,
Now he's dead so remains just one a$$hole.

...Adios, Jefe. You have a great deal to answer for on the Other Side.

Whose rule was mostly disastro.
The limerick is in some ways the most creative of the formal poetic forms, it seems to me. I love how you made rule into two syllables so neatly it was only on the second reading that I caught it, gorb. And the innate mockery of a limerick is all the ode that evil man -- whose evil was only limited by the fact that his area of operation was only a mid-size island instead of the continent his ambition encompassed -- deserved.

Did Donald twist Castro's bandana,
Or deal him some deadly banana?
The Lider's a nuisance?
A little tube loosens...
And fifty years late, it's mañana!

"I'll need something sharp for the burial...
But brotherly, not too funereal.
They're sending the Granma,
So brush off my Panama,
And tell 'Chelle we're heading for Mariel!"

At dockside the monster hung, twitchin'.
"I think now it's safe to go fishin'."
His Communist poobah,
The shark that ate Cuba,
Would soon be a dead superstition.

As the Pope and Obama mourn the death of Castro, and as Trump responds calling for the freeing of Cuba from Marxism, well known symbolic refugee Gloria Estefan releases the following statement about, not necessarily the death of a human being, but the desire for the death of his ideology:
"Although the death of a human being is rarely cause for celebration, it is the symbolic death of the destructive ideologies that he espoused that, I believe, is filling the Cuban exile community with renewed hope and a relief that has been long in coming. And although the grip of Castro's regime will not loosen overnight, the demise of a leader that oversaw the annihilation of those with an opposing view, the indiscriminate jailing of innocents, the separation of families, the censure of his people's freedom to speak, state sanctioned terrorism and the economic destruction of a once thriving & successful country, can only lead to positive change for the Cuban people and our world. May freedom continue to ring in the United States, my beautiful adopted country, and may the hope for freedom be inspired and renewed in the heart of every Cuban in my homeland and throughout the world."

Not a twitter guy, but every now and then will put a hashtag query into the search engine. Just tried "#castroisdead" and got some amusing graphics.

FYI Pope did not exactly kiss him like Obama did. It was carefully diplomatic worded language. The Church has to look out for the priests it has for all the faithful there, so it couldn't be straight up like Trump, nor could it stay silent.
The Vatican’s carefully crafted 9-line telegram avoided using words of support, going instead with strict formulas, hence showing closeness to those who are grieving but avoiding being seen as supportive of the Castro regime.

If you want to blame the Catholic Church for anything, blame the damnable Jesuits who educated Castro and put Marxist ideas in his head. He rewarded them by having them expelled from Cuba.

Throughout old and new testament scripture the prophets were fearless and stood up to the tyrants of their time, and even though sometimes mattered their bold stand made a world of difference. Perhaps the reason tyrants do so well in Latin America is because the Christians are Catholic?
Supposed Quote from Fidel Castro 1974 - "The Americans will come and talk to us when their president is African American and the Pope is from Latin America."

Yes Pope Francis is a foolish man, and quite often says some pretty stupid things, but the Catholic Church dogma is quite clear. The 1949 Papal decree on Communism states that Catholics who profess Communist doctrine are to be excommunicated as apostates from the Christian faith.
Follow that with Pope Saint John Paul II and his extensive philosophical and theological condemnations of Marxism and his explicit shut down of "liberation theology" movement, as well as the emphasis on Subsidiarity, and its fairly plain that this pope is on thin ice when it comes to charges of heterodoxy. As a matter of fact several of his Cardinals have recently called him out formally on violating previously established Catholic dogma. The problem is that he's not nearly as smart as his predecessors and does lean left, both of which are causing problems that the leftist press is ready to amplify and spin their way.
But Catholicism is not a problem, it can be a solution to communists and dictators if the Pope and Cardinals are brave enough, just ask the Poles. That's the truth of the matter.
"Male" if you had a respect for the truth that you claim, then you'd not be so disingenuous with your statements and the inherent prejudice and bias you present in them.
I suggest that you might want to keep things to the topic at hand instead of dragging up century-old Know-Nothing calumnies and KKK inspired insinuations. However, if you want to keep with the ignorant Catholic baiting, go right ahead, but beware I will unload on your ass because I'm an old man and I don't suffer fools for long.

Glad to see you still lurking around o.s.. But let me make one thing clear to you. You are as harmless as a pus*y cat.
We are DEFINITELY on topic. The Truth brings life, freedom and prosperity. The Lie brings death. Ask 2500+ people shot to death by Fidel Castro's firing squads. Venezuela, Argentina, Columbia, Mexico and now hundreds of illegals are pouring into the U.S. to vote for the same thing 7 days a week and then to pay homage to Mother Mary 1 hour a week. They are pouring in by the thousands to cancel your vote, bro.
Everything coming at us is to be tested by a fire that consumes the Lie totally or the Truth will be just as non-existant here in a generation or two just as it is still non-existant on the Cuban island. Just ask the mother of a young man "vanished" by the regime in Havana yesterday for being too jubilant about the latest news. He is now an EXAMPLE to all Cubans, bro.
[ARKANSASONLINE] State Rep. David Hillman of Almyra announced his switch to the Republican Party on Tuesday weeks after being re-elected to his third term as a Democrat, solidifying the GOP's "supermajority" control of Arkansas' lower house.
Republicans picked up nine seats in the 100-member House on Election Day and then padded their lead the next day when then-Democratic Rep. Jeff Wardlaw of Hermitage announced his party switch.
With Hillman's announcement, Republicans now control 75 seats in the House and have the three-fourths majority needed to pass appropriations bills without any support from Democrats. The Democrats narrowly avoided having Republicans pick up a supermajority in the Senate, where they control 24 of the 35 seats after picking up two on Nov. 8.
"After much prayer, thought, and consultation (and a few sleepless nights) in order to better represent the changing political views of the people in our district, I have decided to change my party affiliation to Republican," Hillman said in a statement.

If, as is often said, personnel is policy, the Trump administration may prove more impressive than many conservatives expected. His nominations so far have been outstanding. The latest is his choice of Betsy DeVos to head the Department of Education. DeVos is a school choice activist who puts the interests of children first‐especially inner-city children‐rather than the interests of teachers’ unions. The New York Times, intending to express outrage at her selection, came up with this heartwarming headline: "Betsy DeVos, Trump’s Education Pick, Has Steered Money From Public Schools."

Saving Mike Rowe to cover the firings in the bureaucracy or legislation through McConnell's office? That would be an exposé worthy of a weekly show (to p***off it audience).
[Al Ahram] U.S. President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... has chosen Don McGahn, a well-known campaign finance lawyer, as his White House counsel and K.T. McFarland, a national security analyst, to be his deputy national security adviser, a transition official said on Friday.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
