Exo-Politics

Well, hello there!
I am finally studying (2 days before the exams haha!) but I had to take a break and check out the news on the Internet.
And, guess what! There's news about Fidel Castro! Yay! And he's still alive! Here's the article -> Fidel Castro
He's an old chap and despite claims that he's "as healthy as ever" it's pretty obvious that he's far from being healthy. In my opinion, he looks more like a ghost in those photos. But at least he's still alive and kicking! Or at least his brother is. And the great news is that they prove that the wold doesn't give a crap about the US embargo and still want to drill for the Cuban oil. See that, Fidel? It would be nice if you stopped being the communist ass that you are and try and work something out for your people. Everyone expects you to. La Revolucion was over 50 years ago, no reason to act like a paranoid dictator. Which you obviously are. And you killed Che (indirectly) and jailed your comrade Huber Matos just for not buying the Marxist bullshit. Not nice of you. Too late to change? Well kinda. But Cuba deserves better.
Enough with my Fidel-babble. I'm still waiting for Ion Cristoiu to publish the book about his trip to Cuba, but in the meantime I'm intrigued by the 2008 US election. I shouldn't care about elections in another country, but this is the US, and you know how they are. You might wake up with a war declaration because some kid is accused of terrorism for watching a youtube video of Osama. And that is thanks to their wonderful president and his administration. So. Thank goodness that the Devil (as the crazy Venezuelan socialist Hugo Chavez called him) cannot participate again. And I hope that a Democrate wins it. Be it Hillary, Obama or John Edwards, I do not care, but please US citizen, say NO to Republicans!!!!!! I mean just look at their candidates. Apart from all being pro-war, pro-torture and pro-death penalty idiots they each have a personal traits that enhance their imbecility: John McCain is a septuagenarian and is credited to be both a conservative and a liberal republican (make up your mind! it's like PD-L being both Liberal and ex-Social Democrat), Mike Huckabee (seriously! is this a name?!) says that the Guanatanamo bay atrocities are just made up by the press in order to distract from the "War Against Terror" and Mitt Romney is a Mormon. And Giuliani...well he has no chance whatsoever so he doesn't count. Enough said, right? For once in your life dear Americans, make the right damn choice! Even if your tax is 1% higher, do you really want to destroy the world?
Gah. Well I have to go to uni or I'll be late for the Calculus class.


NOTE: Yes, I do have left-wing afinities (not extreme left anyways). I know Fidel Castro has done a lot of shit along the years, but I have a soft spot for him. I am interested in Latin-American politics, especially La Revolucion, and I am certainly not one who wears a Che Guevara badge without knowing who he was and what he did. And I admire Fidel because he, unlike many dictators, is an educated person who managed to come to power after risking his life, after succeeding with a dangerous attempt to abolish Fulgencio Batista's military dictatorship. So he really worked for getting where he is, unlike others who were plain lucky. And also, it does take something more to last as a dictator for almost half a century and be able to manage with a half a century U.S embargo. As a fan of him, I say he is a communist ass, because betraying (1. sending them to a certain death; 2. locking them in jail for 20 years for having a different opinion) two of your closest and most loyal friends does make one quite an ass, right?
