A man walks on a street of Little Havana in Miami January 16, 2007. The latest rumour whispered on the crumbling streets of Havana is that ailing leader Fidel Castro cannot appear in public because he lost his hair - and his famous beard - to chemotherapy for cancer. Cubans searching for reasons for the almost six-month public absence of the 80-year-old revolutionary can only speculate about what's wrong with him, for lack of official word. They do not know what he has or even where he is being treated. REUTERS/Carlos Barria (UNITED STATES)

Whatever, right?

[NormsRevenge]

A tough call, methinks he has a deathwish.

I hope his wish is granted.

A Cuban diplomat in Madrid said Tuesday that the newspaper's report was "an invented story."

"It's another lie and we are not going to talk about it. If anyone has to talk about Castro's illness, it's Havana," said the diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with normal diplomatic practice.

He was afraid people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him and the colostomy bag.

In standard colostomies, patients are dependent on such bags for approximately six weeks.

9 months for me.

His initial malady was likely exceedingly painful as any one suffering from even a mild case of diverticulitis will attest.

His most recent operations have likely only exacerbated the condition of the patient.

[patriciaruth]

LOL!

[flying Elvis]

I am sure he did it for the Cuban people, knowing that seeing two bags of waste at the podium would just confuse them.

[SevenofNine]
