He Is Still...


...The Most Interesting Despot in the World.

From USA Today:

Fidel Castro 'relaxed, cogent' in rare TV interview

In his most prominent interview in years, 83-year-old Fidel Castro is "speaking slowly" but "appears relaxed and cogent," the Associated Press is reporting.

Castro, the communist revolutionary who ruled Cuba for nearly 50 years, has been out of the spotlight since he handed power to his brother, Raul, after undergoing emergency intestinal surgery in 2006. His appearance on the Round Table is being broadcast live on Cuban TV and radio.
...

On his best day, Dubya never had anything less than a wet-his-pants-in-terror relationship with his native language.

Stay agitated my friends.

Have often thought that the dos equis pitchman was conceived as a mixture of Charlton Heston - without the firearms - and Fidel Castro, so the P/S work was - as usual, most appropriate, DG.

Funny how he's never thought of as a despot by most of the people in his country.

Wonder if their police could teach our Gestapo some tricks? I'm guessing just as in Afghanistan and Iraq that we'll finally figure out to pay them to do our bidding.
