This is why I always hated Che. He was always the cute one. Just like Raul.

Raul and I 'raising the roof' for the socialist wonderland.

That photo you have seen was photoshopped.

Here is the original. I don't like the underlying capitalist politics of Donald Duck, but he sure cracks me up.

Here is the defibrilator that saved my life.

Who says the socialist wonderland cannot provide modern medical care.

The track suit is real this one is a forgery.

That Lileks, he’s so funny:

“Pretend to die just as you’re telling them the secret Swiss bank account numbers.”

I would like to thank the Communications Workers Union for their good wishes for my speedy recovery. It is good to see that some remember the billions of dollars spent to develop a world wide socialist fifth column.

I would like to address those who believe that Hugo Chavez is my heir apparent. This is totally false.

First, I am in stable condition and require no heir.

Second, Hugo is a schoolboy compared to me –he came to power as a result of an election, HA. Anyone who requires an election to come to power does not have the will require to bring about the socialist wonderland that I have created in Cuba. Yes, some might say “but he has stolen elections and fired on peaceful demonstrators” that does not remove the original sin of democracy from the Chavez presidency.

Juanita, if your are reading this please send morphine.

My care at the hospital has been wonderful. Glad I can pay in Dollars.

Damn, I'm still bleeding. Sometimes a cigar isn't just a cigar.

I'm never doing the Lambata with Janet Reno again.

Speaking of Che:

"Economist?? . . . I thought you said communist."

Damn he was funny.

Have I mentioned that Che gets all the "t-shirt love."

During the operation I dreamed I was drinking a Cuba Libre with Desi Arnaz and Leopoldo Fernandez.

After my long life and delivering a Socialist Revolution to my people I still worry that I might die without my jack-boots on.

My doctor don't seem to understand my pain.

He said "I don't understand, in theory the opperation should have been a success."

Comming to you from the hospital where I still have blood in my stool. My doctors say that this is typical after having what they refer to as an internationalmediaectomy.

I did not mind so much when they were kissing my @$$ but when the NY Times and Daily Mail took up residence that is when they must be removed.

The nurse keeps refering to the contents of my depends as a "Red Ken." I'm not sure what this means.
