It's a funny thing. Every single time there's a rumour of Fidel Castro's death floating around on the internet, there follows literally a few days later a flurry of photographs "proving" that Fidel is still alive. If that's not enough of a testament to the iron grip required to operate a Dictator-ocracy, I don't know what is. But in my search for a good article to link, I did run across another blog well worth reading, considering my favourite hobby horse, so at least I've got that.
Dance, puppet! Dance!

I'm glad to see you enjoy my humble dictator blog. I'm equally glad to see you poking King Hugo full of holes as well!
