Smelling salts at the ready: check. Cushy pillow for you to fall on: check. Hand poised to push your bottom jaw back into place after it falls open in shock: checkity check.
Castro: "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us any more..."
WHOA THERE....STEADY, PEOPLE! I know it's a shocker, but let's take a few deep breathes and everything will come back into focus.
What has happened to Castro? Is this man getting deathbed religion? In his country, where the state controls 90ish percent of the economy, but hey free stuff!, the government he has steered since the late 50's, is not working anymore?!
Doesn't even work for us...
What is happening here? Up is down, black is white, and suddenly communism doesn't even work for Cuba? As if Cuba is special and it should work for them, but refuses? As if the government model is suddenly petulant and refuses to go along to get along? As if it, at some point, did work for Cuba?
Ay, Dios Mio!
Talk about the understatement of the century.
What's next? Atmahdinnahjob is gonna say he likes to mock Jews by saying the Holocaust was faked, or Barry is gonna say he was listening to the Rev. Wright after all, as he sat in the pews for 20 years.
If Castro really wanted to blow our minds, he'd cop to the harm he's inflicted upon his country men and women all these years. He wouldn't cloak the truth of a Communist FAIL with the words even for us. He'd offer the actual truth and not some made-for-the-communist-party-line after school special bullshit that no one is buying in his country, even if he offered it for free! Which we all know is just another colossal lie, veiled in compassion. The people of Cuba pay dearly for every free item they receive at Castro's hand.
The only "free" thing I expect from my government is freedom. Period.
Wonder if Cubans are as surprised as Castro. Wonder if Castro is as surprised as he laments.
Any one else surprised?
Huh. Guess I didn't need these smelling salts or pillows after all...

Patti, I was floored when I heard this. Leftists rarely admit that they were wrong -- they always blame unforeseen circumstance, enemies, or Bush.
Maybe there is hope for our planet after all? Sadly, I'm not holding my breath.
andrew: so was i. i had to read the article twice to make sure i didn't miss a GOTCHA! my thoughts are that he's lived a life that he may be starting to regret now that he had a brush with seeing his maker. he'll have some 'splainin' to do!
Rush was talking about Castro this morning. I didn't catch all of it because I was on a short drive, but he mentioned that Castro is out of money (WHAT?????!!!!!) and is "admitting" that communism doesn't work so that he can get the embargo against Cuba lifted. Just another case of how you know they guy is lying...he's moving his mouth and sounds are coming out.
Tam, you are correct. He's milked the cow dry and he's lived a good life of luxury even though the rest of his constituents haven't. So now it's time to look for a new cow. Typical liberal. Not to get to biblical but you know the old saying about give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. Libs want you to give them a fish everyday, God forbid they work for it.
tam: i am shocked? who's gonna pay for all the "free" stuff now?! (hide your wallet)
grumpy: ah, grumpy. i know when i see you i am gonna be all "HAMMERED!" well, not so much in the drunk way; you know what i mean. you bringin' da sense! and just to be clear, are you saying you didn't bring us fish?
I wonder what clued him in, perhaps the fact that they drive around in ‘50s era vehicles?
stan: shhhh, don't clue in the cubans yet. barry's gonna make them a deal on gmc/chevy stock.
