[Paleo Conservative]

Are you sure he wasn’t carried?

[dixiechick2000]

Love your thread, but do you have a link?

[ARE SOLE]

Let us know when he falls down. And he can’t get up.

[Past Your Eyes]

And I was soooo hoping he could make 50 full years.

A source would be nice. For the time being, I’m gonna treat this as Castro rumor #4,856 of the last half-century.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Prayers up for Fidel.

Fidel Castro Steps Down

Hopefully off of a very high cliff.

[donna]

Isn’t he really dead already?

[atomic conspiracy]

His reunion with Che in hell cannot be far away.

Expect the media to outdo themselves in their maudlin tributes when he does kick off, oblivious to the effect this will have on the Democratic presidential campaign.

Cuba - Free Fallin'

[dougherty]

End of an era...

[rottndog]

Thanks for pointing me to drudge. Now I can do something really important, like look at naked pictures of Lindsay Lohan.

[exnavy]

Does this mean he has assumed room temperature?

[SpaceBar]

No way Jose... err I mean Raul.

Castro’s sore point

http://www.charleston.net/news/2008/feb/18/castros_sore_point30989/

Ailing Cuban dictator Fidel Castro is taking a keen interest in the U.S. presidential elections. In August, he predicted “an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary for president and Obama as her running mate.” Now, it seems, he is not so certain. What is certain is his hatred for Republican front-runner John McCain.

Castro has devoted the last three in a series of essays that he has been writing since illness forced him to hand power to his younger brother Raul Castro in July last year to an extraordinary attack on Sen. McCain. In the first article, published as usual on the front page of the official Communist Party newspaper Granma, Castro was responding to a statement Sen. McCain made when he was campaigning in Miami. Sen. McCain told Cuban exiles: “There’s a person I want you to help me find when Cuba is free, and that’s that Cuban that came to the prison camps of North Vietnam and tortured and killed my friends. We’ll get him and bring him to justice, too.”

Castro accused him of lying: “His accusations against internationalist Cuban revolutionaries ... are completely unethical.”

Well, McCain can’t be all bad, since Castro hates him so.

[XR7]

Whoa!

[Norman Bates]

I thought he was gone over a year ago. What was Raul doing?
