How to end Little Havana's 48-year death watch

There is no surprise that the emigres want a big party when Fidel dies.
They've been waiting a long, long time. But only a few realize that the 
real death watch is for the counterrevolution they hoped to lead. They         
once expected to be escorted back to power by the US armed forces.
But since Playa Giron, all they do is wait and hate.

If the revolution outlives Fidel, even by six months, it ends the
fantasy of a return to the old Cuba, united in hatred for the usurper,
that has held them together all these decades.

So bring on the Miami Bubble Gum Machine. Psycho-macho Andy Garcia 
can MC. Disney can provide an animatronic Batista - what's the Caribbean 
without a robot pirate? They can drink their pretend rum and smoke their 
pretend cigars all night but when the sun comes up they will have to face
the fact that they still have no home.
