Why??? Isn’t Utopia good enough?
Fidel Castro’s oldest son was mourned in Cuba on Friday after the unusually public announcement of his suicide following a long depression.
Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart was known as Fidelito, or Little Fidel, for his resemblance to his father. A nuclear physicist by training, Castro Diaz-Balart, 68, was the offspring of a family that combined the aristocratic class that ruled pre-revolutionary Cuba with the man who expelled them after taking power.
Fidel Castro married young aristocrat Mirta Diaz-Balart after they met at the University of Havana in 1948. She came from a family closely tied to strongman Fulgencio Batista and her father served in Batista’s cabinet.
Fidelito was born a year after his parents married. The boy saw relatively little of his father, who was imprisoned for his role in the armed struggle to oust Batista, fleeing to Mexico in 1955 after his release. Mirta Diaz-Balart divorced Castro and received custody of their son.
Makes me think of the relatives of Rocket Man who commit “suicide”
probably somehow involved in donations to the Clinton Foundation ….
they drop like flies, don’t they?
This is fake news. The Prime Minister of Canada is alive and well.
Well, he’s still alive.
You beat me to it MT. I notice that he was married to Natasha Smirnova. Natasha spelled backwards Ha Satan.
You can’t make this stuff up. Tyrants gotta Tyrant or what have you.
Great news! The world is a better place.
We need all dictators, tyrants, despots, and political thugs to expire.
Let’s see…Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Syria, Pakistan would be great places for their leaders to commit suicide.
The guy must have had inklings of being a Conservative in a really Phucked up country.
I’ve dealt with a lot of “Engineers, Scientists , and Doctors”
coming out of Cuba….We call them Laborers….as They
basically cut Sugarcane 50 Weeks out of the Year
But for two Weeks they went to Military Camp to fulfill
Their Duties to the Party.
@jpm: “Ah, Satan”, actually, but close enough for Government work (as we used to say in the Army).
🙂
“Fidelito”?
I’d kill myself too.
Who names their kid “Fellatio”?
Wait, what? Fidelito?
Oh. Never mind.
Was it suicide-suicide, or the Vince Foster variety?
Suicide. Yeah, suicide. Didn’t have anything to do with any kind of power struggle among Castro’s spawn. A lot of Greek tragedies involved scenarios like this.
Fidelito, report to FDR on your arrival at your new home. He has a special welcome ready for you.
I agree with MT above. Mr. Trudeau looks more like Fidel than this guy did.
He went straight to hell vSOB.
Welcome Fidelito! Thanks for the cigars!
