Castro wrote, “you need 320 million tons of corn to produce 35 billion gallons of ethanol,” and that it is dangerous to offer financial incentives to “poor countries” to produce ethanol from corn. The “sinister idea” of converting food into fuel has been “definitively established as the economic line of U.S. foreign policy,” Castro said in the article.
“Apply this idea to Third World countries and you will see how many people among the hungry masses of this planet stop eating corn,” Castro wrote.
Recycling all cars is an “elemental and urgent necessity for all humanity,” Castro said. Castro ceded authority to his brother Raul on July 31 after undergoing surgery for an intestinal hemorrhage. Castro’s disappearance from public view during his recovery prompted speculation he was near death. He then appeared on state television on Jan. 30 with visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
