Spanish Radio

I've spent the day listening to am radio just for shits and giggles. I am usually a country fan but when the hot news story is a Castro bowel movement or whatever, I have found Miami's latin talk radio stations to be a hoot.

Just imagine 3 or 4 am talk stations on a cocktail of viagra and jolt cola. This is how I would best describe the action. Nonstop call after call. People telling stories and explaining theories, even conspiracies. One lady called and said that her relative was actually an employee at the hospital where Fidel was and that he saw Fidel actually take his last breath. Still waiting for the smoking gun website to have those pics. How about another one where some lady calls saying that her relative in Italy was advised that Castro was dead and that the government was waiting for the right time to tell the Exile Cuban community. Anyone who has been to Italy knows that those Italian Journalists are better than those Watergate reporters.

Cubans in general love to exaggerate. Add to that complete anonymity and you have the perfect story. Its a proven fact. We talk about how great things were before Fidel and how our grandparents in Cuba owned the equivalent of Rhode Island before it was taken away by the Communists. Guess the best part is that nobody can really verify any of it so its like getting a lie all you want card.
