Announced this evening, Castro resigns Cuban presidency in the Miami Herald.

Washington Post reports Fidel Castro retires

I can only hope and pray this is good news for the Cubans and they may regain the freedoms they lost in 1959.

Somehow, I suspect that, unless the Cuban people can hold a rebellion, there will be no more change than there was in Russia after Stalin died.
Raul is as vicious as his brother was.

It is absolutely amazing that our own government helped Castro overthrow Fulgencio Batista. As soon as Castro kicked him out, Cuba became commie.

Ohmigosh! Scott Ott is a genius - and totally FUNNY! How does he come up with this stuff?

Too bad the whole country won't see this particular column. That last line is a scorcher.
