Castro the Grinch

From the Department of Even More Reasons Why I'm Glad I'm Not A Communist, NewsMax brings us this blurb on how Fidel the Fool is following the lead of the ACLU Socialist Brigades (or is he leading them?) and trying to deny Americans their right to celebrate Christmas.

Cuba is threatening James Cason, the United States' senior diplomat in Havana, with "serious consequences" unless he takes down Christmas decorations at the American interests section.

Oh.  Serious  consequences.  I'm just a-shaking in my steel-toed boots, I tells ya!

The trimmings of Santa Claus, candy canes and white lights wrapped in palm trees still stood on the mission's seaside lawn a day after the warning. The element that irked the Cuban authorities most was a sign among the decorations that reads ``75'' - a reference to 75 Cuban dissidents jailed last year, according to U.S. Interest Section Chief James Cason.

And we all know what an annoyance it is to Fidel the Fool when you point out what an asshatted tinpot he is, don't we?

Cuban Foreign Ministry officials insisted the decorations be taken down in meetings Saturday and Tuesday, Cason said. The U.S. Interest Section refused, and was told it would face unspecified consequences.

"They could expel us, they could continue to hinder our activities," Cason said. "We don't know what they're going to do."

I wouldn't worry too much, Mr. Cason.  I think the Cuban Cuckoo realizes that if he wanted to start something, we could finish it real quick.

Hell™, all we'd really  need to do is turn the Cuban expatriates loose on 'em, backed with maybe 500 US troops.  The emigrés would love  to take their country back, I imagine...
