CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Friday that Cuban leader Fidel Castro was walking about and making nocturnal trips outside Havana, countering rumors the ailing 80-year-old was dead.
Castro has long acted as a mentor to Chavez and the Venezuelan president promised he would soon make one of his frequent visits to the Communist island.
"He is walking about and goes out at night to visit the countryside, villages and towns," Chavez told cocoa workers east of Caracas.
Latin American media simmered with speculation that Castro died at the weekend, conjecturing Chavez had canceled appointments last Saturday to say farewell.
After 47 years in office, Castro temporarily ceded power in July to his brother Raul owing to health problems that required abdominal surgery.
It reminds me of a movie. I can see the poster now with Chavez "I see dead people"
Every time Chavez travels, I really cross my fingers that his plane will crash.
Either blown up or mechanical failure, I don't care. They'll both work for me.
"Baghdad Bob" has nothing on this guy.
credible photos?
Weekend at Fidels!

It reminds me of a movie. I can see the poster now with Chavez "I see dead people""Weekend at Bernie's" comes to mind as well.
Yeah, sure. Would you buy a used car from Chavez??? Or any communist for that matter?
Yeah sure..just like Fidel to keep his recovery secret and not let anyone know how great the Cuban medical system is....yeah sure.
--along with Rush, I'll be curious to see who the Demotraitors send to the funeral--
Whatever happened to Bagdad Bob? Last I heard, he had a platoon of Marines surrounded all by himself.
Of course there are no credible photos! Heh heh heh.
So do ghosts and blood sucking vampires!
The article read, "Fidel Castro was walking about and making nocturnal trips outside Havana..."
Let me get this straight: Castro has been rumored dead for three months now, yet he has been seen 'making nocturnal trips outside Havana...'
Sounds like a late night movie to me. Let's put the stake in his black heart, cut off the head, and burn the ashes. Unfortunately for Chavez, there will be no sequels.
So, do they practice voodoo in Venezuela? I understand that they do in Cuba. Weekend at Bernie's?
Castro the Vampire--just in time for Halloween.
Jimmy Carter, Jessie Jackson, Howard Dean, Rangel, Pelosi, Kennedy, Schumer, Hitlery, Billy Boy, .......
The same thought seems to have occurred to everyone on this thread simultaneously. Garlic, anyone?
