    First?

    …IN a floating bathtub.

    BTW First! First time being first! Hahahah!

  3. James says:

    Hmm.. Castro in old people home…

  4. mr_angry says:

    Welcome! Please surrender your dignity and ideals at customs. Enjoy.

    I read your comments and I wonder……… is there even one among you that remembers when Fidel Castro was hailed as a ’savior’ and was an honored guest on prime time talk shows like the Jack Parr Show ? Guess that goes to show how damned old I am, huh ? But…….. he sure isn’t coming to live in my ‘old folks’ home’ because I’d have to kill him just for sh**s and grins. Would make my day to pput him out of his effin misery.

    • PortlandMark says:

      Yeah, his life expectancy in Miami would be rather short. Those Miami Cubans are all right wing gun owners, and still very mad about what happened to their granddaddies’ wealth.

    • Isengrim says:

      Well, I don’t remember the show, but yes, from what I understand, the reason the US hates him so much is because he nationalized a bunch of foreign-owned (ie, owned by rich Americans, mostly) companies and stuff, ostensibly for his country’s own good. And that his predecessor was even worse than he ever was – but his predecessor was a friend to Big Business.

      I could be wrong. I’m Canadian, and we never stopped trading with Cuba. Funny thing is, I’ve never met a Cuban up here (though I know lots of folks who like to holiday there.)

      Frankly, sometimes I wish that Canada would do similar – or at least, stop everything we have from becoming foreign-owned (even Hiram Walker’s – Canadian Club whiskey, you know? – is owned by a British company now. And Tim Horton’s is owned by Wendy’s! Gah!

      I was really hoping that Magna (Belinda! Belinda! She ain’t no politick girl! – sorry, Air Farce ref) would have been the one to buy out Chrysler the last time it was up for sale. Sigh. Maybe next time. ;)

      • Christine says:

        She might still have a chance. Chrysler and GM have been in talks of a merger…

        • Isengrim says:

          My grandfather must be rolling over in his grave.

          He was Parts Supervisor at the Windsor HQ for his entire life, pretty much. He hated his job, but was insanely good at it (fantastic photographic memory. He didn’t need books to know what part number was what, and if they had any.) Near the end of his career, he quit his job and refused GM’s offer to come work for them for more money – always said that GM guys were a bunch of arseholes. He was offered his job back at Chrysler two weeks later, and took it.

          I worked in a outsourced Windsor parts plant for about a year, and found out Grandpa was right. GM swept in, practically took it over, and all the fun went out of the job almost immediately. It was a good place to work until they came in with all their dictates – and they neither owned the plant nor were they the only customers (Ford and Toyota (or was it Honda?) were bigger customers, I think.

          Though I drive a Pontiac, it’s just a third-hand Adam Sandler car that was the only thing I could afford. It’s ready to die, and I don’t really care except for the fact that I probably won’t be able to replace it for a while.

          • Christine says:

            That’s funny. The Germans aren’t known for their sense of fun.

            I suppose I’m also slightly biased seeing as how my mother currently works for Chrysler. But I have heard that Chrysler was one of the better places to work for as far as parts and assembly. And I know that Ford, in the past, had a lot of opportunity for people. And that GM was rather stick to business and get it done.

            But it’s all only getting worse right now.

            • Isengrim says:

              Oh, my grandfather died in ‘72, long before the Germans owned it. :) And the plant I worked for was, as I mentioned, an outsource plant – made parts for everyone EXCEPT, I believe, Chrysler.

              And all the Big 3 plants used to be THE opportunity in town. Now you can’t even get in unless you are related to (someone living) who currently works there.

              Apparently, both Ford and GM are shutting down Windsor plants, resulting in the loss of at least a couple thousand jobs, or more. Quite devastating for a city of only maybe 350,000 people or so (sizable for Canada).

              I’m SO glad I’m in Alberta, even though I have nothing to do with oil, cattle or wheat. except perhaps on the consumer end.

    That’s just perfect.

  7. Palidin says:

    He could be part of Obama’s staff- he’s perfect for it !

  8. Could happen, the GOP give’s Cubans a free pass…trying to buy Florida.

  9. Ernesto says:

    Number of political prisoners on the Island of Cuba in 2007 as defined by Amnesty International

    56 – In Cuban prisons
    576 – In Guantanamo Bay

    • Palidin says:

      Because Castro dumped his prisons out into the US courtesy of Dipsh*t Carter.

      • Seth says:

        And only 56 more dissidents have arisen in the twenty eight years since then. Right.

      • Ernesto says:

        The US govt never killed anyone who didn’t deserve it.

        It’s easy to find things to criticise in any government, the Cuban regime has survived an absolute maelstrom of attacks from successive US governments, actually because it has the support of the overwhelming majority of the Cuban people. Not chinese style “Smile or we’ll jail your children” support. Cubans openly criticise their government and the society they live in freely and without fear, their biggest concern day-to-day is the constrains of the US embargo, which prevents any company wishing to do business in the US from trading with Cuba. Basic medicines which save life such as paracetamol and penicillin are probably harder to obtain than in the poorest parts of Africa.

        Most of the so-called Political Prisoners are nothing more than CIA stooges who were caught out. And wasn’t it the Mayor of Miami who recently called the vociferous Cuban Exile lobby in his city “A Bunch of spoiled-rotten malcontents”

        • Ernesto says:

          Just to add you could go and see for yourself but of course, your liberal democratic, freedom loving government likes has made it illegal for US citizens to set foot on Cuban Soil. Of course that’s not in any way a limitation on your freedom of movement :-) LOL

          • AC says:

            Americans aren’t allowed to even BE in Cuba? Really? Jings.

            • markmier says:

              Technically, Americans are allowed to do anything in Cuba, EXCEPT for to spend any money at all. (except if you get an official State Department exception).

              At least, that’s how I understand the actuality of it.

        • AC says:

          “The US Govt. never killed anyone who didn’t deserve it.”

          Aye right.

        • Aalst says:

          Agreed. The only questionably violent acts ever carried out by the Cuban govt. were the executions of the Batista regime leaders. Even these were backed by over 93% of Cuban citizens, and have pretty much the same moral standing as the Nuremberg trials.
