It's a real-life "Ding, dong, the witch is dead" party, baby. The word from Miami is that they're planning a bash for when Cuban President Fidel Castro checks into the pine overcoat hotel, whenever the day comes. They're gonna party in the city where the heat is on, all night in the Orange Bowl, 'til the break of dawn. Bear in mind ... this isn't some neighbor down the street that's planning the festivities, but city officials and taxpayer dough. And the public can't get enough of it.

And if people are planning a party for when you take the big six-foot dive, it ain't a good sign. Helping people out is the best way to be remembered. A good way to help is to use your moolah for a good cause. But you can't give away too much until you pay off debt.
