A Very Interesting Read

Fidel Castro blogs. Imagine that.

Yesterday I stumbled across Escambray, the digital version of the Cuban state newspaper. Fidel has a recurring column. Yesterday he wrote about the World Baseball Classic. I scanned through a bunch of his other posts and they're really quite interesting, well-reasoned and erudite.

Here's one about President Obama. It's a good dose of alternative perspectives on the new US regime, from the leader of a nation that has good reason to distrust the US. Fidel cuts through some of America's self-satisfied attitude.

However you feel about Castro, these aren't the rants of a lunatic, and it really is fascinating to look at America through another lense.
