CUBA IDIOT ALERT! CUBA IDIOT ALERT! (UPDATED)
The alarms are working overtime in San Francisco, where the idiots were out in full force for a birthday party for Fidel Castro.
From the San Francisco Sentinel:
Cuba's President Fidel Castro, the world's longest reigning leader, celebrated his 80th birthday yesterday from the confines of a hospital bed after undergoing surgery stemming from reported gastrointestinal bleeding.
In honor of Castro's achievements - a socialist revolutionary who overthrew the corrupt government of Fulgencio Baptista (sic) in 1959 and led the transformation of Cuba into a one-party socialist republic - San Franciscans across the political divide paid tribute to Castro during a spectacular evening ensemble of music, song, dance and poetry, including poetic recitals from San Francisco Poet Laureate Jack Hirschman.
"Across the political divide???"
I guess in San Francisco that means everyone from old-school Marxist-Leninists on the right to Maoist-Guevarists-Trotskyites on the left.
As for Hirschman, if he is a poet, I don't know it:
The president of the other America has fallen ill
and it is his birthday. We wish him Happy
Birthday and a speedy recovery.
By the other America, we don't simply mean
his brothers and sister in Venezuela, Bolivia,
Chile, Peru, Brazil, Haiti and the like.
We mean also the 37 million people living destitute
and in misery in these disunited States, of whom
six million kids go to bed hungry every night,
while a murder machine waves the false flag of security
and makes war on the poor of the world.
What is more insecure than the empty belly of a child?
Hmmm, let's see the empty mind of a fool? Someone needs to send this clown back to school.
Krissy Keefer, co-founder of Dance Mission Theater, said booking the show with untalented "artists" and other fools was a breeze.
"When we asked artists to perform they clamored to the event because in San Francisco Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution have a big place in peoples hearts in terms of their social activism," Keefer said. "They recognize the contributions of the Cuban people and Fidel have made on behalf of all the people of the world."
This is why I don't eat breakfast before turning on the computer in the morning.

Guest-blogging over at Michelle Malkin, Babalú's Val Prieto has much more.
"It is, for some, quite easy to love a fidel castro from afar, but it's a whole different ballgame for those who have to endure the 'world's longest reigning revolutionary leader.'"
