Not With a Bang But a Whimper

Fidel Castro ended his presidency, not with a burst of gunfire but with a simple announcement saying he was done. Fidel's brother Raul, who ironically looks older than Fidel does even though he's 5 years younger, was chosen as president by Cuba's National Assembly shortly after. And so ends the rule of a man that 10 U.S. presidents tried to take down. Oddly enough, there have been no reports of partying in Miami, as they did last year when people thought Fidel Castro had died. I guess the Cubans in Miami learned their lesson and are now saving it for the funeral.
