This POS is deader than a hammer...should be rolled into a bunch of moldy tobacco leaves and set afire. Just a thought.
I'm confused - are you talking about yourself, or the late Cuban dictator? :)Quote:

Dunno as I'll have to ask the accountant side of me who can barely do a 1040 EZ return. I think he's the most possessed out of everybody.Quote:

I wonder how many lives this @$$hole screwed up or murdered, not to mention all the companies and family businesses that he took over. A real piece of work. Enjoy your time in hell you POS....Quote:

Raul has officially been in power since 2008. He is generally regarded as more moderate than Fidel. It is possible that he will continue on exactly the same course he has started on. It is also possible that out of respect for Fidel (or simply to keep the peace with him), Raul has held back on his reforms, and that he may proceed more quickly now that Fidel is dead. I think the latter is pretty much everyone's hope.Quote:

His brother Raul has been running the country for the last eight years. I don't think he's any better unless he was waiting for his brother to die to make changes.....Quote:

So, I heard POTUS and VPOTUS were planning for one or both to attend Castro's funeral, but changed their minds after some people expressed "Why the hell would you attend the funeral of an evil, murderous, thieving, communist dictator?"
OK, that's probably not a direct quote, but,...wow, that anyone would consider attending...wow
