Something interesting I read today in the New York Times:

On October 21 a voting process (can you call it elections?) will begin to determine whether or not Fidel Castro will continue as head of state.

According to the New York Times (who are more or less assholes when it comes to Cuba) some feel that Fidel is too old and believe power should be suceded permenantly to Raul.

I guess we shall see. I'll be there though, living it. So I'll let you all know what happens.

Just to show what assholes the New York Times are, take into consideration the final sentence of this paragraph:

"The 603-seat National Assembly is a rubber-stamp parliament which meets only twice a year for a day or so. Its members include Cuba's only cosmonaut, its most famous folk singer, its most successful painter and the country's TV weatherman."

It seems NYTimes is going for some sort of low blow. Nice job guys, you live in a country who's had Ronald Reagan as president, and Jesse Ventura and The Terminator as governors.
