#1 Dang, when I looked at the picture at the link I thought the smarmy looking jackass in the middle was Diaz-Canal. Then I read further and found the smarmy looking jackass is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sitting between Diaz-Canal and Raul with a shit eating grin on his face. So we had Baraq and now Canada has Justin.

#2 ...and loves the Beatles.

That trick won't work with me - Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe loves the Beatles and he's a Grade A asshole.

#3 I would agree that the successor to Raul will eventually be a from the Castro family (or an in law of that family). There is a lot of stolen wealth that has to be protected.

I suppose nearly anything is possible.

#5 A blast from the past, only musty,
A trope that was Russian, and rusty:
"The Beatles! And denim!"
"Oh, groovy! Let's friend him!"
"I'm nothing like Castro. Just trust me."

#6 Hey, its an opening. We are sending off a individual just suited for El Presidente. Has the resume, rules by the pen and phone. Has no need for opposition parties. Will fit right in with the existing political philosophy. What an opportunity and auspicious timing!

#7 I am afraid there is no chance the next Cuban president will be black.

#8 I am afraid there is no chance the next [Cuban] president will be black.

I remember saying the same thing here in 2008.
