I remember a really good kosher place on Collins near a Walgreens and that’s about it.

My one venture to Miami a few years ago was a personal Waterloo.

LOL...that is funny....

I hope someone will post the DU reaction on FR...

Trump winning caused Castro to stroke out.

He died on Black Friday! A day of capitalism! :)

Will Obama use Castro's death as his excuse to finally give Guantanamo Bay back to Cuba, as a "gesture of goodwill" to the "people?"

It's the one thing he's wanted to do for eight years.

He’s been sick so Cuba’s been run by his more radical brother Raul

Yes, that’s what I thought.

I wonder if he died a while back and they are just announcing it now.

Given the timing, with a new president, who knows?

[proud American in Canada]

LOL!!!

Let’s let the Commie-in-Chief grieve....

The Commies will call Castro's death "an unsuccessful recovery"

[proud American in Canada]

Of course he will. He may justify it by saying a head of state has passed comma but in reality it’s because a fellow Communist has died.

I bet Justin Trudeau will also lower the Canadian flag. His dad Pierre Trudeau was a great friend of Fidel.

Yes....Elian Gonzalez comes to mind.

Perhaps someone more skilled than I can post that terrifying picture of U.S. agents grabbing him out of a closet with their rifles pointed at him. When he was only about 6 years old. And his mother died bringing him to the US.

I think that was one of the most evil things Bill Clinton ever did.

[proud American in Canada]

Please see my #90.

I still get angry about Elian.

And I hate that so many Canadians support that dictatorship by vacationing there.

Yes, it’s cheaper than Florida, especially given the exchange rate, but why prop up an evil government?

[proud American in Canada]

Sorry! Was using voice-to-text..."comma" should have been a the punctuation mark! 😑

[hold_muh_bier]

Seems incredible that, out of all the Cold War leaders, it was this scumbag who lived on and on ...and on, and was allowed to die of old age.

Well, for me, Castro's death perma-seals the Sixties; painting that decade haint blue in my mind right now.

May some rest in peace, may this one come face-to-face with the suffering and devastation his long reign cost so many, and may he lament for eternity.
