Good. Maybe he'll die soon, too.

 

Hmmm ... it is normal protocol for him to release official news through his Granma?

 

I just hope we can get Cuban cigars once again.

 

The Orange Bowl celebration Miami had planned for his death might still be on!

 

Just saw it on CNN and was hoping to be the first to post it here.

 

Does Hyman Roth know?

 

I wouldn't hold my breath. Raul is reportedly worse than Fidel.

 

Fredo and Johnny Ola can go back to those secret hangouts, which feature bondage. ;D
On the serious side, his brother is taking over. Same ol', same ol'. Nepotism in Cuba, wow, I thought Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism and all the other isms were supposed to create Utopian societies where none of that hanky panky was going to ever exist.

 

Perhaps a little Billy Joel:

Little Rock, Pasternak, Mickey Mantle, Kerouac
Sputnik, Chou En-Lai, "Bridge on the River Kwai"

Lebanon, Charlse de Gaulle, California baseball
Starkweather homicide, children of thalidomide

Buddy Holly, "Ben Hur", space monkey, Mafia
Hula hoops, Castro, Edsel is a no-go

U-2, Syngman Rhee, Payola and Kennedy
Chubby Checker, "Psycho", Belgians in the Congo

 

The Lakeville Road Boys are still looking for their piece of the action.
