The announcement this week of Fidel Castro's retirement was a mere formality. You'll recall the identical announcement July of 2006. In fact, many Cuba watchers will tell you that his little brother, Raul, as head of Cuba's Armed Forces, has been mostly running Cuba--the nuts and bolts of the thing--for decades, and more singlehandedly for the past five years.

Nothing will change in Cuba as long as Fidel, Raul, and Raul's top henchmen are still breathing.

Nice to see that Humberto Fontova has taken time off from shark fishing to write another on-the-nose article. Tweedle-dumb the closet case isn't going to change a damn thing in Cuba of any relevance.

Meanwhile, I know folks who haven't been back to their homeland for nearly 50 years.

"Fidel has been dead for over a year."

Can't we send Obama and Pelosi down there to investigate?

Jimmah Cahtah can’t wait for the funeral...
