I don't know about you, jack ... but I'm smelling a "ding dong, the witch is dead" moment here. The news on Fidel Castro is that the Cuban commie is out as president of the country. Yeah, yeah, I know ... his brother is the front-runner to replace him as top dog. Still, change is good.

Now that the time for Castro has past-ro, I'm thinking that there will be some parties in South Florida. I blogged a while back about how a big bash was being planned by Miami city officials for when FC goes D-E-A-D, and this is the next best thing as far as they're concerned.

You're living in the greatest country in the world, baby ... so don't take it for granted. They can't do as they please in Cuba, but you can, see? Wanna change careers? Have at it. Feel like bashing Bush or cold-cocking Clinton in public? Be my guest. But the Red, White and Blue gives you chances that no one else will. Waste that, and you waste your life.
