Death Pool anyone?

[GeronL]

They should see our coverage lol

[Sunshine Sister]

I bet it's to much to hope for that Raul is better person than Fidel..............

[cripplecreek]

The only thing that could make it better is, as the doctor puts him under he announces "I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night but I am an American military doctor".

[mtbopfuyn]

About 1 1/2 hours ago our local radio station was reporting he was dead and that folks in Miami were honking horns in celebration. Fox has shown the honking. CNN says White House doesn't believe he's dead.

[mikeus_maximus]

I absolutely do not understand all the celebration. He's turned power over to his ruthless brother, Raul. Are things suddenly going to get better? Is he some kind of reformer? Will the communist state end in the near future?

Don't think so.

[RS]

Hopefully dictators will follow the Hollywood rule of 3 and two more of these guys will croak in short order.

[sport]

I hope that the murdering bastard dies.

[Names Ash Housewares]

So if he dies. Fingers crossed. What next? Raul runs the show.

What changes?

The people there have not risen up yet. We wont invade.
I hear there are plans. But what are they?

[dead]

Go Death!

[TomGuy]

Will Fidel die more times than Pope John Paul or Yassar Arafat, or Saddam Hussein?

Saddam was killed 3 times before we finally captured him.

Yassar died a dozen times before they finally did bury him.

I believe it was when Ronald Reagan or Bob Hope died, comedian Phyllis Diller was being interviewed on CNN. She laughed at them, because they had run her obit on their website.

He longs for a return of the luster of the jewel of the Caribbean.

Cuba was messed up before Castro came along, and of course is even worse now. It will take a lot of effort to turn it into a good place after he is gone.

[Ditter]

Is the evil old Bast*** dead yet? Even my very liberal niece was cheering for castro to meet satan today! The sooner the better.

[The Blitherer]

About a week or two ago there were reports that Castro had died. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen him make a public appearance since then. Is it possible that Castro DID die a while ago and this surgury is a set-up to break the news slowly and make the transition of power to Castro's brother smooth?

(I'm not a conspiracy theorist really! I'm just curious if anyone thinks this might be possible?)

[weegee]

If federal funding of fetal stem cell research had been permitted by the Bush administration, Fidel Castro would still be walking. < /sarc >

[The_Media_never_lie]

Osama and Fidel are alive, and Elvis is dead. There is no justice.

[Veto!]

Fidel castro may have had a gastric ulcer or bleeding through the colon area.. At at that age it is very difficult for him to survive but not impossible.. Even if he does survive he may have great additional complications...

Like pain. Lots of pain. A bit of karmic justice for all of the political prisoners in Castro's jails who suffered hot pokers and/or electric prods in their colons.

[Stultis]

This just in; Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

[Cyber Liberty]

I want to go on record as having nothing to do with this.....although I think it's cool.

[Screamname]

If this slimebag is finally dead, how is the US going to handle this? I read the press release today by the State dept, Sean McCormack, saying the majority of Cubans are for freedom (oh except for Elian) and that we "will help in anyway to support the Cuban people in their transition to democracy"... How though? First off we will have to deal with the Hollywood liberal cabal that will be shrieking like banshees at the demise of their God and cocaine connection, surely screaming that the ultimate insult to their God would be for Cuba to go the freedom route. Then we would have to deal with Fidels brother, Jimmy Carter, and that guy Raul Castro...Would it be another Bay of Pigs or send in a few Rangers? After all, there is no Khrushchev anymore, only Danny Glover.
