Gloomy, rejuvenated, pro-Semite and now man enough to admit that not everything is as planned in el Paraiso, Fidel is back for a third swing. According to this article, a reporter for the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, and Fidel were having a "red wine and fish lunch", when the reporter asked Fidel if Cuba's economic system is still a viable option for other nations, to which Fidel gave this response:

Surprisingly, this is only the second most srsly interesting statement in this article. "He is either crazy or senile," said Jaime Suchlicki, a long-time Castro observer and head of the University of Miami's Research Institute for Cuban Studies, who cannot understand why someone who has bankrupted a once wealthy and prosperous island nation would ever admit that a flawed and crippling communist political-economic system isn't a good look for anyone. I mean, really, the country's GDP is almost 100% Venezuelan donations. He must be crazy to say the Cuban system is broken! Also LOL I got this article from the Miami Herald, under the Cuba section, which I am suspicious is the only section in that newspaper that people read.
