Babalu Blog: OH. MY. LORD.

November 23, 2004

OH. MY. LORD.

Long time reader Yamy just sent me the following and I nearly LOST MY LUNCH.

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.

Dont hold anything back folks.

I am always amazed at the extreme and total stupidity and willful blindness displayed by the Walter Lippman's of this world.

Fellow bloggers, I am not much into link whoring, but I implore you to help me get the message to Mr. Lippmann and fidel castro by linking to this piece or posting the email address on your site and encouraging your readers to say exactly how we all feel about the murdering bastard.

ANOTHER UPDATE: More at Michele's, Steve's, Dean's, TechnologyRight , and Raging Dave's and Madtom's and Bryan and Strange Dog and Free Frank Warner and It Comes in Pints and Leaning Towards the Dark Side and David and Juan and the Sundries Shack and Ian S and Scott and SondraK /eClaire. If I missed someone, drop me a line.

UPDATE: Feel free to use the following sample letters when sending your emails:

Short and concise:

Querido fidel,

Muerete ya, hijo de la gran puta.

Gracias

Number two:

Dear fidel,

The world was stunned when you had that unfortunate fall back in October. People around the world held their collective breaths. Unfortunately, you were still alive. Please, die soon.

Thanks.

Or:

Dear fidel,

I really really hope the take you out of that cast soon, and put you in a casket.

Or:

Dear fidel,

The line to piss on your grave is already forming, can you please hurry it up?

Gracias.

Hotmail right? Send a nice graphic (I can think of a few good ones), slightly less than 1 meg - send it twice....no get well wishes for him! Keep sending every 2 hours or so and the mail box will remain full.

Better yet. Search your drive (PC users) for *.dll find a good sized one copy it and then paste it some where (not where you found it). Rename it to hotgirl.jpg or something and send on.

mi deseo para usted fidel es comer mierda y morir.

There's nothing like a subscription to a free p0rn site to flood your inbox.

at least, that's what I've heard. I have no knowlege of such actions.

reallly.

none.

I borrowed the second of your suggested missives.

Sent.

"Dear Fidel,

Please get well soon, and then have another spectacular fall. Hopefully off a tall tower. You murdering pig.

Love,
Keith"

I condemn all those that would sit idly by and not only watch but laugh, at a poor old man suffering.
Where is your Humanity!! All I can say is that at least horses actually deserve better treatment.

Thanks for the heads up Val. I just had to send Castro a little note.

Dear Uncle Fidel,

I hope that your recent fall has not left you in too poor of health.

I'd prefer it if you were healthy when your people finally rise up, cast you down and put you on trial. That way when you are convicted they can look forward to you dying a slow death in prison, just like many of the innocent people you put your "re-education camps."

Hopefully you'll go slower than Arafat.

Keep well until then.

Dr Mr. Lippman, I urge you to deliver this get well message to Fidel personally.

"You're getting old, Comandante. The end is near. May you descend slowly, fall by fall."

Then, please, Mr. Lippman, lose your passport.

MR. Lippman, it surprises me that in this day and age with so many sources of information out there you will give respect to this killer by sending him a get well letter. This man should have been brought to trial in an international court for crimes against humanity a long time ago.

Dear Mr. Lippman,

Would you be so kind as to move to the side for a moment? You've got your nose right where we're wanting to insert a few dozen white-hot fireplace pokers.

Thanks,

AWG

Dear fidel,

Time to join your buddy, Yassar. Maybe he'll loan ya one of his virgins.

Ill regards,
Freedom loving people of the world

Thanks, Val.
