***There was a story in the local news last month about Fidel and Uruguay.
It seems that Fidel had decided to send them a shipment of some sort of medication, one that without a doubt is desperately needed by Cubans. Ever the magnanimous one, Fidel made a statement that he was "donating" these medicines to help them.
Uruguay's President, Jorge Batlle, quickly responded by telling Castro that his country did not require any "help" from him, and that instead of donating the medicine, Castro could subtract its worth from the 28 million dollars Cuba owed Uruguay.
Ballsy people these Uruguayans.
Gotta love them!***
