Castro calls it quits

Can't believe the old bearded tyrant is going to step down. He's only been the undisputed leader for nearly half a century. Now, that's what I call democracy. Never mind about elections and delegates and presidents for a term or two, no you want a dictator telling you what to do for at least five decades. I heard how on the only television station in Cuba, you've guessed it: the state-run channel, the perpetual revolutionary used to deliver speeches that lasted anything up to nine hours. That's entertainment!

But seriously, it would be wonderful if that interesting country could finally get a taste of true democracy and a leader who doesn't feel the need to always dress up in army uniform. I think that Miami will be buzzing with anticipation. But who will the other left-wing thug Chavy Chavez in Venezuela look up to now?
