Well, I'll side with Castro because I'm stuck up and like politics, but I'm seeing that the majority of the media coverage is going to Gibson, because he's like a MOVIE STAR, man.

In any event you probably know what happened in both cases....

Gibson was pulled over drunk and proceeded to give an anti-Jewsih rant (and called a female cop "sugartits") and ET et al is lovin' that...

But I think that the Castro bit is a lot more interesting....he was checked into a hospital for intestinal surgery....no big deal, right?....well...couple things...

He "temporarily" handed over power to his brother, and designated successor, Raul, the first time in 47 years Cuba has been ruled by ANYONE other than Fidel.

It's all temporary to be sure, but remember.....ol' Fidel is 80, he's not going to live forever...and his brother is about as uncharismatic as it gets, and image is kind of everything with Castro's pseudo-personality cult in Cuba.

So are there changes ahead for Cuba like big Germany style ones, or will the Communist party there somehow bounce back? Either way, I'll be watching...any input?

Oh, and "Braveheat" kinda sucked, Mel.

I think it's necessary to acknowledge that Mel Gibson is an idiot and move on to focus on Fidel Castro and Cuba. Of course, that's never going to happen, Mel Gibson being the famous actor and director of movies like Bravehart and Passion of the Christ and Fidel Castro being, "that one guy from Cuba." People are going to be watching Entertainment Tonight.

Cuba's Communist leadership launched a campaign today emphasizing the revolutionary roots of Fidel Castro's brother and designated successor, attempting to reassure Cubans that the regime remains stable after the leader's hospitalization.

So I shall interpret this as Ol' Fidel taking a turn for the worse.
