By Castro’s beard

Foreign Policy Blog (which also has a very amusing photograph) notes this priceless quotation, attributed to Fidel Castro in a 1959 interview with CBS’s Edward Murrow:

I’m not thinking to cut my beard, because I’m accustomed to my beard and my beard means many things to my country. When we have fulfilled our promise of good government I will cut my beard.

You said it, oh, bearded one. You said it.

    Now the old tyrant has retired, his beard is still intact.
