Antidisestablishmentarianism

Well, my computer isn't underlining the above word with red, so I guess I spelled it right. On the first try, too!

I got online because I wanted to check and see if Fidel really did JUST hand over power to little bro Raul, because I seem to have memories of this trade-off occurring months ago. Maybe everyone's freaking out because they're just now realizing The Insanity here. I mean, sure, Raul's like...what, 6 years younger than you, fine. That's kind of a lot. WHEN YOU'RE IN 6th GRADE. 6 years ain't SHIT when the younger person in the situation is 76. SEVENTY SIX! People who are 76 have been retired for like 11 years! They don't START working, for god's sake! They FINISH working! They place blankets over their laps and get driven back and forth to bingo in the back of a big, shiny, boat of a Mercedes, and then they have a glass of warm milk at 4 and then off to bed!
I mean, that's how I imagine an old person's life going. Fine. That's how I think it should be.
