HAVANA – Fidel Castro suggested Thursday that his health is failing, saying that four years from now he doesn't expect to be following current events. In an online column titled "Reflections of Comrade Fidel," the 82-year-old Cuban leader appeared to be pondering his own mortality, saying Cuban officials "shouldn't feel bound by my occasional Reflections, my state of health or my death."

"I have had the rare privilege of observing events over such a long time. I receive information and meditate calmly on those events," he wrote. "I expect I won't enjoy that privilege in four years, when Obama's first presidential term has ended."

I beg to differ. Hot coals have a way of making one quite alert.

This has got to be the rip roaringest, knee slappingest, gut busting headline of this year.

The jokes right themselves. How do we know he didn't realize this 4 years ago and just now remember to tell anyone?

OMG... Wasted is NOT the word! I can’t believe they actually let her on the air in that condition. Her co-workers must not respect her very much - they should’ve locked her in her dressing room.

Welllllthennnn, he should be ‘removed’ for the “greater good”.... after all, the money spent on his healthcare when he is indeed dying could be spent on other social programs....

I suspect he will find a cell, fire, and the next cell will be Rosie Odonnel. Imagine that for eternity with no showers!

I hope you live and are lucid, and that your commie ass gets thrown in jail.
