I think that the technical term for these is ‘Separated at birth?’ posts, and I think the technical term should be used in the header to enable educated skipping.
This definitively puts The Madness of King George in a new light: King George III was in fact the president of Cuba and he was married to the reigning Queen of Great Britain.
Fidel Castro, on the other hand, earned his place in the history books when the American colonies rebelled and left him the leader of a minor island state instead of a trans-Atlantic empire.

More silly games: Raúl Castro – governor, Raúl Castro – acting president. Or how was it now…?

“Sir Nigel Hawthorne, one of Britain’s most respected actors, has died aged 72.”
That’s serious!
