To bad, Fidels brother is even more evil then he is.

This is no different then when Lenin dies in the soviet union, only to be replaced by Stalin.

Odd, really: In this democratic, egalitarian nation, the only man you saw fit to follow happened to be your brother. What are the chances of that, eh?

Heh-heh. Mr. H-'s pal gets in a zinger!

"Eventually it will come down to this, my friend: History will note that the people in the American jails at the tip of this island ate better than the average Cuban."

Very good line...

An excellent summation of the Castro years.

get some old Russians in the right mood -- which is to say, drunk -- and you'll hear how Stalin was a great man

Hilarious.

Yes indeed.

Kind of lets the air out of the Gitmo "horror stories", doesn't it?

Nevermind the angel -- Fidel is going to meet the devil real soon. He's gonna sizzle like sausage on the griddle.

I think Castro is dead and they are just looking for an UN-rusted 1957 Chevy to bury him in, since that would be the nicest thing in Cuba.

There are true gitmo horror stories.

The Guards there are treated very poorly.
