RIP Fidel.


Talk about making one's mark on the world, one of those few people for whom just the mention of his Christian name, means a sizeable share of the world's adult population will know who it is.

We can't help it if you have bad taste.

And one of the greatest failures of US foreign policy during the Cold War.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well he has been functionally politically dead for a long time now. Amazing that his life ended like this when you think about it. So well done I guess.

So anyway his actual death doesn't impact much. RIP asshole dictator dude.

Best month ever.

But your candidate lost :(

Hillary lost, the Clinton Machine is dead, and a bunch of people lost their shit over it. I'll take he hit.

Same goes for Adolph. Not sure how that's an accomplishment.

Frankly, I am disgusted by the apparent ambiguity of some people here when it comes to Castro.

I hope you are trolling. Because you would need to be insane to seriously compare the two.
