Whoever approved the placing of this statue must be smoking something Strong or just a communist sympathizer. Castro and Humanitarium in the same sentence???????? Idiotic!!!!
Ok, how did Rove get the NY Dems to do this?
This thing needs to be thrown in the coffin with the real thing and buried in a very deep hole.
The tribute to Osama bin Laden was going to be in the WTC memorial. I think that has been prevented, though.
Yet again, it's a publicity stunt. It won't be in Central Park for long.
Well, maybe except for Pinochet.
When I was in Seattle last month, I heard or read that the city wants to get rid of Lenin's statue.
Maybe NYC can have twofer.
NYC already has a Lenin statue downtown...

I learn something new everyday here.
Red Square, New York
Open for occupancy since June of 1989, Red Square, luxury project in the East Village, concerns the creation of an image in architecture. The story revolves around Michael Rosen, an untypical developer, and Tibor Kalman, a seminal graphic designer. Michael Rosen of Park Square Associates, a former NYU professor of radical sociology, currently develops subsidized, low-income housing for battered women and people with AIDS. However, his first project in Manhattan was Red Square, a luxury building constructed on family owned land on the Lower East Side.
Too much money has been invested in quality art for this building to be aimed at the anything but the educated and wealthy, especially when one realizes that a 380 square foot studio starts at $1000.
Being highly educated and liberal, Rosen's taste in design is more informed than those of your typical developer

Well, at least I'll have somewhere to "take a leak" when I visit Central Park.

You probably wouldn't be able to get a studio there for $1,000 anymore.
Of course it's aimed at the educated and "wealthy." But is that a bad thing?
"How is a Communist dictator rewarded with a statue in New York City?"
I wonder how many Socialists and "Progressives" there are in NYC. As many as in Hollyweed? The statue may just stay as it is, as disgusting as that is.
Yes, let them put up Castro's bust in NYC. Do they have the courage (or ignorance) of their convictions? Names, please ...
disgusting
