That's a good trick considering as how he's taking a long dirt nap.. like his buddy.

How touching. I'm sure the Cuban people can't wait to have him return....

[weegee]

Castro won't be celebrating the way Mike Douglas celebrated his birthday today?

[BW2221]

Wouldn't it be neat if Fidel croaked on his 80th birthday?

[GeronL]

he's shucked off the mortal coil and has evacuated his bowels

[libstripper]

Where, perchance, does the AP get any credible evidence that Castro's alive???

[shield]

More BS.

[NormsRevenge]

Yup, especially all those he had murdered , imprisoned and that drown trying to escape his tyranny.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

If he lasts that long...

[sittnick]

Cubans have The Communist Party has cultivated a myth over the last half-century that Castro is invincible,

Geez, doesn't AP have an editor?!

Castro to mark 80th birthday in recovery

Translation: He won't be making an appearance at his public birthday celebration for some reason.

FReeper Ironclad and I saw a young girl at lunch the other day who couldn't have been more than 20 that was wearing a similar "Che" t-shirt. My guess is she didn't even know who he was, but was told that the shirt showed she was "cool."

What is it with the liberal-love-in with dictators like Castro and Guevara, who would drag their pot-smoking, down-with-society protesting asses into the dungeons of Hell and throw away the keys if they actually lived under them?

A few Cubans say it won't be long before Castro is giving five-hour speeches once again

Any definition of Hell would have to include being forced to listen to them.

[piasa]

I'd prefer it if he marked his 80th birthday in an urn.

[Mr. Lucky]

OK. What's a Cuban urn?

[sgtbono2002]

Hopefully in 3 months they will be throwing dirt in his dead face.

[snuffy smiff]

Thanks to both of you for a goood laugh!

LOL! And a definition of "suicide" would be: The first one who stops clapping after one of these speeches.
