Castro has a blog?

On Sunday, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro wrote a column in the national newspaper, part of a recurring segment called "Reflections of Fidel" in which he goes on a deranged stream-of-consciousness rant about the name "Rahm Emanuel." Yes, as in the White House Chief of Staff. And it's not a political attack on the second most powerful man in Washington, it's just a crazy analysis of Rahm's name.

Reflections of Fidel: Rahm Emanuel

Where does it come from? I wondered. Over and over, the name came to mind of the brilliant German thinker, Immanuel Kant, who together with Aristotle and Plato, formed a trio of philosophers that have most influenced human thinking. Doubtless he was not very far, as I discovered later, from the philosophy of the man closest to the current president of the United States, Barack Obama.
