Another sad anniversary

Fidel Castro celebrates his 85th birthday.

I've always wondered if things might have turned out differently had Franklin Roosevelt sent little Fidel that ten-spot he asked for.

That's really good pensmanship for a ten year old. And that signature...what ten year old has a signature like that. Well, at least we know where the stationary was lifted from. He had probably never seen a fiver, but if you're gonna play the cujones card, then go for the ten spot.

Reports say that old Fido is celebrating in private. What? No mass celebrations? No days off? No waves from the balcony? They could have at least done a "Weekend At Bernie's". Gee, wonder what Hugo got him?

Things might have been different is some team had given him a minor league contract.

Or.......If the Profiles in Courage President had actually acted like a profiles in courage president

I think Fidelito is really dead. He just doesn't have the grace to lie down.

I bet when they finally do acknowledge that he's dead, they'll stick him under glass like they did Lenin.
