Castro's fantasy

I'll go out on a limb and say that Fidel Castro's tale about saving Ronald Reagan's life is estupido.

How did Cubans learn about a plot to assassinate Reagan in Charlotte in 1984?

How were arrests made without any public disclosure? What happened to the would-be assassins?

Why would Castro want to save the life of the fiercely anti-communist American president?

This story reminds me of an old, old joke: Why does Castro wear a beard? So he can't be called a bald-faced liar.

I did post something about Coach Fidel and Cuba national sports teams, but it appears that Castro has censor it again. I want to know why you left off Havana State Teachers [Cary Vocational Site] from the top 10? They are 3-0 and beat Davidson Poly-Sci school this week 78-0.

Do you have something against Communists or is it personal since John Burns has decided to come out fighting conservative republicans in the NFL.
