Words can hurt.


Men can cry, too. We have feelings. And we worry about how people think about us. But we can be so catty, too. Here's an example from the Miami Herald:

In a harangue about how a suspected anti-Cuba terrorist entered the United States, Fidel Castro singled out Gov. Jeb Bush — and went straight for the gut.

The Cuban leader didn't stop there.

"Forgive me for using the term 'fat little brother' " Castro said. "It is not a criticism, rather a suggestion that he do some exercises and go on a diet, don't you think? I'm doing this for the gentleman's health."

This is going to ruin Jeb's holiday. What a mean, mean man.

But they left out the part when Castro said, "And did you see those pants he was wearing? Doesn't he have a 3-way-mirror in the governor's mansion? Talk about junk in the trunk!"

During a 1996 interview, Castro said the following:

I still have some excess energy because I always have a small layer of fat. I would like to be like when I was on the mountain range, with a few less pounds than the ones I have now. I have a little fat. The time comes when the body gets used to it in such a way that even if I eat a little, my weight is maintained. If I get careless one day -- because sometimes I have to attend a dinner -- the weight increases. My body has adapted. There are people who eat a great deal and do not gain weight. There are others who eat a little, but gain weight. You just have to find a normal equilibrium.
