Good Old Boy #48

Fidel Castro has a beard, is a commie, annoys the Americans and is in the news today. Those are four good reasons to make him Good Old Boy of the day. For the most part, Cuba seems to have done pretty well compared to its neighbours under his leadership.

It's a funny kind of socialism, though, where the leader gets to hand over power to his brother. Even if his brother is probably also a bit of a G.O.B.

UPDATE: Best Castro joke so far:

"Some analysts believe that Castro will be succeeded by his brother, Raoul Castro. Others believe that his successor will be his idiot son, Fidel W. Castro"
