#1 Let's hope those 400 all join Fidel in a few months. Hell has lots of room.

#5 These type rants make me often wonder how bad it is at home. You know, when things are goin' south quickly at home, you have to have a handy-dandy "outside threat" (usually the U.S.) to blame to keep the heat off yourself. From Kim Jong Il to Hugo Chavez to Ahmadinijad and now, Castro, everyone's "afraid" of the US invading when they know full well we won't (well, maybe with the exception of Tehran). Why? Internal pressures must be noticing how crappy it is to live in "dreamworld" under a communist/totalitarian regime. But, what the hey, at least the trains run on time and there's always "free" health care.

#6 Leftist intellectuals and human rights activists from around the world pleaded with the United States on Monday not to interfere with Cuba while Fidel Castro recovers from intestinal surgery.

Another example of the 'intellect' of the left. Hey Bozos, that's what an embargo is all about - having nothing to do with Cuba. You were bitchin' about the embargo before today, not you insist that we in fact continue it. Look in the dictionary for Wanker and youll find 1.(n) leftist.

#7 is only temporary. "In a few months, we'll have him back with us," Retamar said.

At first it was "in a few days," then "in a few weeks," and already it's become "in a few months." Stereotypes are true!

Did he really say that? I wouldn't be surprised, but I'd never heard that before.
