Anybody have any pictures of that giant news crawl that was put into the windows of the embassy? I think it was the cuban embassy. That was hilarious and awesome. And too little reported...

Redstate is reporting that the annoucement of the surgery came _after_ the actual operation.
TEXT OF MESSAGE:
"Because of the enormous effort involved in visiting the Argentine city to attend the Mercosur meeting, at the closing of the Summit of the Peoples in the historic University of Cordoba and the visit to Alta Gracia, the city where Che (Guevara) lived in his childhood and immediately afterward attending the commemoration of the 53rd anniversary of the attack on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes barracks, the 26th of July of 1953, in the provinces of Granma and Holguin, days and nights of continuous work with hardly any sleep, have caused my health, which has withstood all tests, to fall victim to extreme stress and to be ruined.
This has caused in me an acute intestinal crisis with sustained bleeding that has obliged me to undergo a complicated surgical operation. All the details of this health accident can be seen in X- rays, endoscopies and filmed material. The operation will force me to take several weeks of rest, away from my responsibilities and duties.
As our country is threatened in circumstances like this by the government of the United States, I have made the following decision:
I am flying to Miami to receive the best medical care provided. I was told that this would be an outpatient surgery so I thought me and some of the old crew would get together over some stogies and talk about the good ol days in the 50s. Sorta a time to heal some old wounds with an old soldier. I may bring Elian to do some juggling. That kid is hilarious.
I think he is dead. I recall that the same "He's doing well" spin was happening when Arafat was dead.
I normally don't take pleasure in the sickness of others, but this character's death would be good for the world, and the suffering people of Cuba. I laughed when watching the celebrations in Miami. May Cuba be free soon.
