Along the "Dems in soiled knickers" route, we find Jill Stein of the Green Party, praising Castro as "a symbol of the struggle for justice".

I've always considered the Green Party as a dysfunctional wing of the Democrats.

On the other hand, Raul is a bit of a psychopath. And, from what I understand, Raul's kids have a lot in common with Uday and Qusay.

And Trump has the best statement from a world leader so far on the murderer.

Brit destroys a Castro lover, who happened to work for the KGB in the 70s

But perhaps the most revealing aspect of this discussion is the person put up to defend Castro - former Guardian literary editor Richard Gott. As Douglas remarks:

I don't remember the Vietnam war, but I do remember that you had to leave your job at The Guardian because you were outed as an agent of influence at the KGB. So it's not like listening to a normal critic is it? It's like listening to somebody who worked for the SS talking about the Nazi rule in Germany in the Forties.

I have an ex (bat shit insane that one is, but otherwise a nice woman) who is Cuban. She is worthless with joy right now.

He was not quite as debilitating to the Cuban nation as the Kim's have been to North Korea but it has been a close race. Slow roast in hell.

Old man, your romantic history sounds as interesting as mine, in the Chinese Chinese curse kinda way.

yeah well. The last 7 years were mostly awesome. We will find out if that was an evolution or an anomaly. Vegas is giving 3:1 on anomaly. sigh
