Castro Still Blowing Smoke
As he stands on wobbly legs at death's door, communist dictator Fidel Castro is still indulging in bravado, boasting that Cuba will continue to be an enemy of both the United States and economic freedom. No doubt it will, with his evil brother Raul running the country.
As for the ruinous economic conditions of the island paradise he reduced to a hellhole, Castro has a plan for turning everything around:
From one year to the next the standard of living can be improved by raising knowledge, self-esteem and the dignity of people. It will be enough to reduce wastage and the economy will grow.
That would make a great energy policy, wouldn't it? We don't need to increase our energy supply to meet the demands of a healthy economy, we'll just reduce wastage and somehow subsist on what we've got. Oh wait, I think the Dems already thought of that.
As for raising knowledge, he must mean raising it out of the reach of his impoverished subjects, who are not allowed free access to the Internet.
But the part about self-esteem would make for a good education policy. We don't need to educate; we can just indoctrinate. The important thing is to improve students' self-esteem. Hmm, the Dems thought of that one too.
No wonder libs like Castro so much. They're on the same wavelength.
On a tip from Wiggins.

In North Korea they raise self esteem with propaganda videos comparing North Korea to the rest of the world. North Korea is paradise - rest of world is terrible. I wonder if that's part of the Castro self esteem plan.

SICKO - that describes Michael Moore.
When that nutcase went to Cuba they should have revoked his citizenship and told him to stay in Koo-Bah; since he apparently loves that socialist paradise. He could become head of the Cuban propaganda film office.
