Cuba’s Long Nightmare is Closer to Over

Jimmie | February 19, 2008 | Comments (0)

After over 50 years of grinding his country into the dirt, Fidel Castro is finally turning over his dictatorship to ~~Fidel Castro, Jr~~ his brother Raul Castro.

Fidel has been in very poor health for some time and recently, despite living in a utopian paradise with wondrous free health care, flew in a Spanish doctor with supplies and equipment not available in the People’s Glorious Paradisio, to to treat him. The cause of his illness has never been released, but I suspect he may have contracted an infection from the endless ass-kissing he received from Michael Moore and a host of other Hollywood Syncophants. That many lips, for that long, on one ass can’t be healthy.

This might not be a bad time for democracy-minded countries in the West to turn up the economic pressure on the regime while it’s in transition. A sudden surge of trade into the island might just be enough to blast the Castros from their strongholds. It might even be worth reconsidering the trade embargo if we have reason to believe that lifting it will knock those vultures off their perch.

Read more after the jump, including a video blast from the past.

Michelle Malkin is gathering news and reaction. Babalu Blog is the place to turn for what Americans who fled Castro’s brutality are saying on this historic day. They have the announcement, with a translation, as well.

Also, if you’ve not heard of Dr. Oscar Biscet, now would be a very good time to acquaint yourself.

Also, enjoy this video from back in 2004. It gave lots of Cubans a brief glimmer of hope that maybe their nightmare really was over. Alas, Fidel didn’t fall hard enough nor did he land on his head. Still, it’s worth a laugh to watch a tyrant get laid low by a sneaky capitalist running-dog cement step.

UPDATE: Johnny Mac and the Obamessiah speak! It’s good to see them singing off of the same sheet of music, at least. There have been years in the not too distant past when that was not at all the case.
