Havana, Cuba (The Adobo Chronicles) – Retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro has compared NATO with the Nazis while accusing the U.S., and in particular, former presidential candidate Senator John McCain, of war-mongering.

Castro criticized U.S. policy in the Middle East and called McCain “Israel’s most unconditional ally.”

The obviously enraged McCain fired back at Castro today by accusing the ailing Cuban leader of rumor-mongering. “To imply that I am responsible for U.S. policy in the Middle East is utter misinformation and is a total lie,” the Arizona senator said.

“Castro needs to immediately stop spreading the rumor that I am the president of the United States.  May I remind Castro that I lost the election to Barack Obama,” McCain added.

In his strongest attack yet against Castro, McCain referred to the Cuban leader as “El capitan muy loco.” (Very crazy captain).

Castro, of course, is a general.

WHY THE 2014 MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT WILL NOT BE HELD IN MANILA

Las Vegas, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – There has been a lot of speculation that the 2014 Miss Universe Pageant will be held in Manila, Philippines. After all, this Southeast Asian country has hosted two of the previous pageants, once in 1974 and again in 1994. It has also produced two title holders, Gloria Diaz in 1969 and Margarita Moran in 1974, not to mention several runners-up in recent years.

Filipinos will not be happy with today’s announcement by Donald Trump, owner of the Miss Universe Organization: the 2014 pageant will definitely not be held in Manila.

In a press briefing at the Trump Towers in Las Vegas, Trump said that while he has not made a final decision on the venue for the 2014 pageant, ” I have ruled out Manila.”

Trump said that he has been closely watching developments in Manila, particularly the pork barrel scandal that has rocked the Philippine government and has sent business persons and top politicians to prison.

“The pork barrel scandal in the Philippines is directly contrary to my beliefs and lifestyle,” Trump said, “and I will be sending the wrong message to the world if I bring the Miss Universe Pageant to Manila at this time.”

Trump does not eat pork. He is a vegetarian.

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Last week, The Adobo Chronicles reported that Republicans in Congress have voted to impeach President Barack Obama for bringing disgrace to the Office of the President.  The move stemmed from Obama wearing a tan-colored suit at a White House press briefing. Republican legislators had said that no other president in U.S. history has ever worn a light-colored suit. They were one in saying that U.S. presidents should dignify the office by wearing only dark suits.tan suit

However, after photos of Presidents Reagan, George H. and George W. Bush, as well as Clinton wearing light-colored suits appeared on social media, the Republicans immediately withdrew their impeachment charge.

“We apologize for this fiasco,” Speaker John Boehner said, adding, ” our legislative staff didn’t do a good job at research. Some heads are gonna roll!”

Meanwhile, The White House responded by saying , “Wait till the Republicans discover photos of earlier U.S. presidents wearing white suits, even after Labor Day.”image
