From The New York Times:

On Oct. 22, 1962, President Kennedy announced an air and naval blockade of Cuba, following the discovery of Soviet missile bases on the island.

And yesterday:

Castro, 78, stumbled on a step and fell on his left knee on Wednesday night as he returned to his seat after a graduation ceremony speech at the mausoleum holding the remains of fellow revolutionary Che Guevara at Santa Clara in central Cuba.

Remember the commercial, "I've fallen! And I can't get up!" "We're sending help immediately, Mrs. Fletcher." Yeah! Castro, you old fart! You're going down! I'm putting you in my death pool, bee-yatch!

Expect a flood of posts today. Back with a vengeance. And I've got my edge back.
