RI? Fidel Castro

[UPChip]

According to several sources.

BBC, which seems pretty solid:

Cuba's Fidel Castro, former president, dies aged 90 - BBC News

That's what happens when Kaepernick backs you.

It will be interesting to watch Miami for the next few days.

I bet they're tearing up the front page of the Herald as we speak.

 

[Starman]

If not putting out an extra.

Since FC has been on and off death's doorstep for 25-30 years, they should have material ready to go.

The standard playbook at the Herald was/is:
When Castro dies, everyone get to the office pronto.

I'm more interested in watching Little Havana:
The streets will be crazy throughout the weekend.

 

[Spartan Squad]

Do we have reaction from Kaepernick yet?

CNN finally has it breaking so seems legit. In all seriousness, how many parties are being held in Miami?

I was driving down a desert highway and accidentally tuned into a radio station that aired one of his speeches. He was off the rails but honestly kind of a good speaker.

In 1975, for one of his New Yorker essays, Roger Angell watched a game at the 'Stick with Horace Stoneham, who was in the process of selling the Giants. During the story that followed, they discussed how the Giants had scouted Castro. I doubt there's a link, but this is one of those history-changing moments.

Well, they're not there yet, as there isn't a word about it on their website.

Good sense would dictate the US step back to see if Cuba flips capitalist by its own volition (which it will probably do pretty quickly).

Only a complete ****ing moron would charge down there and try to speed up the process. Luckily, our nation is not run by a complete ****ing moron. Uhmmmm.

It is for another couple of months.

The government will need to hurry the process along. Trump hotels aren't just built overnight.

Herald story just went up.

Fidel Castro is dead

Maybe the hell-bent-for-leather jarheads can convince Donald how awesome it would be to send the Marines into Havana the first week or so he's in office. It'll be a cakewalk.

I'm sure with Raul Castro still being around the great golden conquest will be delayed for a bit.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Now he can finally get some of that fire brewed Stroh's Light.

 

[Just the facts ma am]

rot in hell

You think they've been planning this story out for a while? I measured their story out to 6,984 words and 251 inches.

To paraphrase the West Wing episode, he's been dying of the same heart attack for 30 years, usually followed up a week or so later by another roaring four-hour speech.
