It will be a serious injustice if Castro dies of old age/natural causes.

I'd feel a whole lot better if there wasn't another one popping up in Venezula.

The CIA recently concluded that Cuban leader Fidel Castro suffers from Parkinson's disease

I won't believe it until Joe Wilson flies to Havana to investigate.

I'm beginning to suspect that the reason they live so long is that the Devil is really happy with the job they're doing and doesn't want to mess things up, or they are so bad that even Hell doesn't want them.

Coca growers leader widens lead in Bolivian presidential race, poll shows

01:21 2005-10-07

Socialist Congressman Evo Morales, leader of the nation's coca leaf growers, has widened his lead in the race for the presidency set for Dec. 4, according to an opinion poll published Thursday.

Morales, one of the nation's top indian leaders, garnered 33 percent of the vote in the poll, compared to 27 percent for former conservative President Jorge Quiroga. The poll was carried out for local television networks Unitel and PAT by the polling firm Mori, the AP reports.

Millionaire businessman Samuel Doria Medina appears in a distant third place with 14 percent. The pollsters queried 2,600 voters nationwide. The sample has a 1.8 percent margin of error.

In a poll published on Sep. 17, Morales led Quiroga 28 to 22 percent. Morales has vowed that if elected he will stop the U.S.-backed policy of eradication of coca leaf, which is used to make cocaine.

Morales, 45, is the candidate for the Movement toward Socialism Party, and was a key figure in the massive protests that forced the resignation of president Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada in 2003 and of his successor Carlos Mesa this year.

Quiroga, also 45, is the candidate a center-right coalition called Social Political Power. He ruled briefly from 2001 to 2002 after the death of President Hugo Banzer, in whose administration he served as vice president.

If Morales or another candidate won the election but failed to get a majority of all votes cast, Congress would choose the president from among the top two finishers. For outright victory, a majority of 50 percent of the vote plus one vote is needed.

Dr. Carlos Singer, a Parkinson's expert at the University of Miami, said the disease on average cuts short the lifespan of a patient only by one or two years. ''The issue is not as much how long they can live, it is how much do they suffer in the process,'' he said.

The real issue is how much have the Cuban people suffered, and they have suffered plenty.

Possible military coup in the making. I don't think Cuba is ready for freedom yet. The U.S. should have offered to make Cuba a U.S. territory back in the 1950s.
