#1 I wonder which politicians and lefty celebrities will fly to Havana to pay their respects when the old murderer and pop-star finally does go back to hell?

Imagine the pious drivel we will hear from the likes of Barbara Walters and Sean Penn. (Walters once called Fidel "the sexiest man I have ever met.")

Will the media try to outdo each other in running 24/7 grief-a-thon coverage on the JFK/Princess Di model?
Will Bryan Williams and Keith Olbermann bring out their most reverentially hushed tones as they describe Castro's carcass wending its way past the weeping throngs in Havana?
Will a somber Katy Couric wear her black mourning dress again?

Btw, serious party-animals should do everything possible to be in Miami when Fidel does finally kick off.

#4 That wasn't Castro...

Remember the Woody Allen movie, "Sleeper"?

The scene in the lab with the doctors :
------------------------------------------------
"Unfortunately, preparations for a successor...
have never been adequately clear.
In short, we have been in the throes
of a major crisis. As for our leader,
the emergency department rushed to the scene
of the accident immediately, but all that remained
of him was this -- this is our leader's nose.
(Nose was shown at this point)

Using great presence of mind, we rushed the nose
to our closest delta laboratory which is here...
Where, through massive biochemical effort,
It has been kept alive for nearly a year.

Our dream has been that by cloning,
we would reduplicate the entire leader again."

To me this is proof that Happy Hugo was talking to an impostor....
