Cuba lambasts Reagan saying he should "never have been born."

HAVANA, Cuba (AP) -- Cuba harshly criticized former President Ronald Reagan and his policies on Monday, saying he should "never have been born."

"As forgetful and irresponsible as he was, he forgot to take his worst works to the grave," the government radio station said.

The statement did not mention Cuba's relationship with the United States under Reagan, a staunch foe of communism.

It also did not mention Reagan's decision to order U.S. forces to invade the tiny Caribbean country of Grenada on October 25, 1983, because Washington feared the island had grown too close to Cuba.

1. Gadhafi, Momar <sp? said

He was very sad to hear of RR's passing without his having stood trial for killing the children of Libya when RR made that strike and killed his 18 month old adoped daughter in his homeYikes!

As the world leaders send their thoughts in from around the world, it's a wee bit giggle worthy to hear these particular sentiments. I'd almost forgotten RR'S crazy policies.

He was the Prez, so I honor the office in this case and wish his family well. But RR was no God man! Keep him the hell off my money; we're over it already!

2. Well, here's the 6th US president

Fidel's lived to see buried. No wonder he drives the right wing bats. In spite of their maniacal fixation on seeing him vaporized, the insouciant fucker just won't go away. Hee.
