Castro resigns

"Fidel Castro resigned as Cuba's president Tuesday after nearly a half-century in power, saying he will not accept a new term when the new parliament meets Sunday.

'I will not aspire to nor accept - I repeat, I will not aspire to nor accept - the post of President of the Council of State and Commander in Chief,' read a letter signed by Castro published early Tuesday in the online edition of the Communist Party daily Granma."

Big deal. King Rat takes a vacation and leaves the subjugation of the people to fellow vermin.

Until Cuban can freely elect their own government it will not matter which communist pawn is in charge.
