Get Well, Fidel!

From my blogson Val:

A Mr. Walter Lippmann - writer, photographer and activist - is complaining that the US did not send fidel castro get well wishes after the fall he had in October that broke his knee. He has set up an email account - sit down now - getwellfidel@hotmail.com and urges us to please send fidel castro our best hopes for a speedy recovery.

I urge each and every single one of you to use that email - getwellfidel@hotmail.com - to send fidel, and of course, Mr. Lippman, your thoughts on how you truly feel about fidel castro.

I sent Fidel a cheerful little note. Here's what it said:

Dear Fidel:

Here's hoping that you get well as soon as you allow free elections, free immigration, stop protecting the child prostitution industry, allow free speech and dissent, and free all political prisoners from your torture chambers.

Failing all that, dear Fidel, I hope you die a miserable, painful death very soon.

Sincerely,

Dean Esmay

I doubt he will but one can always hope.

Yes, one would hope, but I rather doubt it. However, I do think it's the perfect sentiment for him!

Ditto on the miserable death.
Maybe we'll get lucky and Lippmann will bore him to death with his crappy art.

I'm tempted to say something that rhymes with "Get well, Fidel".

I rather like my entry. It's a bit longer than the others, but not too long.
