Fidel Castro, founder and leader of the Communist government of Cuba, will abdicate his position today, February 24, 2008. Castro has been the head of state in Cuba since the 1950's Cuban revolution, and will hand over the reigns of power to his brother, Raul; who also aided him in the coup years ago. Castro is now 81 years old.Well, what is there to say really. In the end, Fidel never truly harmed the United States. As far as we're concerned, he pretty much just made our leadership anxious... for fifty years. So, overlooking the countless Cubans that have fled their homeland as refugees in the last half-century, I'm gonna call no-blood, no-foul on this one. Congratulations on your retirement, o' brutal dictator, not many in your line of work make it this point. Thanks again for making the flexible military cap fashionable, and inspiring ten millions clueless college kids to wear Che Guerra t-shirts for a century to come.
