Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Hussein Obama is going to try to take the credit for this one too.
He’s got to shore up the Cuban refugee vote.
Oh, no — not again!
Must have gotten jealous of seeing all the “heart-felt” weeping in North Korea over their Dear Leader’s demise.
2011 has been a bad year for commies and dictators.

I don’t know if anyone posted anything on this yet—I didn’t check all the posts. But “El Día de los Santos Inocentes” (today, Dec 28th) apparently is the Latin equivalent of our April Fool’s Day.
