Happy Birthday, Mr. President.


Fidel Castro is celebrating a birthday, today. Raise your hand if you're surprised to learn that he's a Leo? No? Me, either.

He's done quite a bit right, quite a bit wrong, and quite a bit that was silly. So, he's ahead of many national leaders by at least 1/3, I figure.

The young Fidel, however, as I have had occasion to note, would not even have had to have played his cards in a terribly skillful manner.

Viva la revolución!

The young Fidel Castro played beisbol in the United States. There's a compelling parallel-world narrative for you...

I think if you asked the average Cuban, are they better off now or before Fidel, they'd say now. But it hasn't been a romp in the park.
