Cuba = the size of New Jersey

Fidel Castro, 81, has resigned as "president" of Cuba. His brother, Raul, 76, will take over. An ABC reporter this morning, reporting the story, said that this peaceful turnover of power from one communist to another would foil the hopes of those wanting a new kind of government "for a long time."

Really? For a long time? Raul is 76. How long do you expect the man to last up there atop the utopian kingdom?

I would imagine that "a long time" is equivalent to about 6 months with all the turmoil that usually arises in Cuba.
