Sometimes Florida Is Kinda Gauche
One of the local newscasters just had his tidy whities in a bundle because... if Castro dies, then Miami is planning a celebration -- of his death, mind you -- in the Orange Bowl, which could preempt the Superbowl.
I am rather nauseous.
We are overcome by anguish at this illogical moment of humanity.

Just package it right, and you can sell anything.
I guess... but planning a party in a stadium for the day someone dies?
Castro is a perfect example of the old saying, "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." His body count has been calculated somewhere in the neighborhood of 114,000 (by the Palm Beach Post)

BUT A PARTY CELEBRATING HS DEATH?
(Note -- not the re-liberation of Cuba, but his death!!!)
Yucky!
I didn't like Gov. Ryan, but the one thing that I admired him for was his trip to Cuba, and his attempt to cut thru all the bull shit. It's amazing what a little dialouge can accomplish.
Yup...and you know that was one of my pet projects. Ryan was corrupt -- but he had a few good ideas.
(emptying death row when it was clear that many sitting there shouldn't have been. He didn't exonerate anyone -- the ones that were released had mostly been sent there by that megalomaniacal sociopath Burge.)
Anyway... the deal with Cuba would have been a serious shot in the arm for IL farmers, scientists, industry, business -- without exploiting the Cubans. In fact, it would have helped out Cuba's economy, too -- affordable gas and a valuable export.
But we wouldn't want to see fair, reasonably eco-friendly industry succeed. Far better to let useless hystrionics rule -- complete with the grand finale of armed soldiers breaking into a house and pulling a sobbing little boy out of a closet on Easter Sunday. (That last bit should be read in a facetious tone.)
The trick to corruption in government is let EVERYBODY end up with an improved lot -- or at least the same lot. That's where these Neocons have gone so wrong. Couldn't be satisfied with making a mil -- have to screw and murder thousands to make a bil. That's what pisses me off so much...the bottomless greed. Do they actually think their blood-soaked money will be good for anything but wallpaper after global destabilization, worldwide blight and nuclear holocaust?
(I have diarrhea of the keyboard.)
The poor are to blame. They take and place athletes and actors on pedestals and worship them like gods. They cheer at the millions of dollars thrown at these gods, not realizing that it comes out of their pockets and not the rich corporations. Then the gods above them, not wanting to be out done by these johnny come latelys, get greeder, so they can stay a few steps above. And the who has the bigger bling bling goes on, and us peons suffer on.
The poor are not to blame, but they'd better wake up...
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me."
Poor people have low IQs marginally placed above sheep and cattle and I vow to take the piss until they fight back!

I presume Che meant I'm lumbered with this headache at least until the pretence of sanity has been abolished?
Aaaaaarrgghhhhhh...

Paulette -- Estoy de acuerda, luce excelente Che aqui!! Y en todos partes... y con todos mis partes, tambien....
HD -- Goodness, there isn't enough aspirin. I think things may have become more illogical since Che uttered those words from out of his lovely lips.
