    Fidel Castro looked frail but alert and even playful…

    What did he do? Chase the dot from a laser pointer across the floor? Roll on his back and lick his nether regions?

    Okay Texas Tiger that’s the SECONDtime you owe me a clean monitor!!! The weekend at Fidel’s sounds like a good idea for a spoof as well; you ought to send that one to MADD TV. They keep that dummy around much longer won’t be long before Castro’s nose is as shiny as the bust of Lincoln at his tombsite in Illinois.

    It looks like him, but we all know that Cuba is the robotic powerhouse of the Caribbean. So, therefore, I conclude that the Castro in the picture is a human-like cybertronic robot. Anyone want to buy a bridge?

    Seriously:

    His posture, expression, the very fact that he could be caught in a photo like this, unlike the strict control over his image he had in the past, strongly suggests that he’s no longer in charge, and is being kept alive as a figurehead front for whomever is in charge.

    The big question then, who exactly is running Cuba? We better find out, and fast in the event that whomever it is might be worse than Castro himself, because I’m betting big odds that it isn’t the frail old man in the chair. That’s not a portrait of Castro in charge.

    Damn! You beat me to it!

    It’d be a double bonus. Tyrant dies and we get to smoke his cigars again. Liberals are upset by losing one of their rock stars and by the cigar smoke. Adding greenhouse gases might even make it a triple bonus!

    This is beginning to look like the treatment SNL gave Franco.

    Personally, I’d rather just have him “disappear”, because when he dies, we’ll all have to listen to every “progressive” (i.e., regressive) in office lament his passing. All the while the MSM will tell us how many U.S. Presidents he’s outlived. Who freakin’ cares? He’s a socialist dictator!

    And as Mr_Conservative_Cat points out, he’s not in charge. Maybe it will be like that fine socialist workers paradise in North Korea. You know, that type of socialism that hates monarchies so much they would never allow an heir to take over? Oops. My bad.

    Would someone please tell me the difference between a brutal, dictatorial monarchy and brutal, dictatorial socialism?

    Liberal hypocrites.

    I think it’s real, but he is definately circling the drain. He has paper-skin, hasn’t seen the sun, and the smoke and nicotine along with the drugs and reanimator juice they are pumping into him are not helping in the least.

    Give him less than 6 months. He will die, the people will revolt, Democracy will rule again and another communist country will again be sent to the dust-bin of histor. one less resort for Sheehan to play in. She is running out of friends.

    Swung by my local Yankee Candle store and couldn’t find any sulphur- or old-man-on-his-deathbed-scented candles. Therefore, I don’t believe the technology exists to make a realistic wax Castro.

    I vote “real.”

    TXtiger-
    You won’t find them @ your local Yankee Candle store-you have to go to Spencers and find it in their backsection with their satan goblets next to the “R” rated intimate aides.

    There’s a good reason why they post a warning on the entrance to their stores, and its not just because of the “rainbow” approved clothes and bumper stickers.

    It’s irrelevent whether he’s in power, his brother or some other guy. Cuba has ceased to be of any importance to anyone ever since the USSR self-destructed.

    Well, sorta. Cuba is never unimportant, really, because it remains an ally to one side or the other in the future. Putin can’t be trusted worth a damn, so we don’t know what tomorrow brings. With all due respect, we need to watch Cuba very carefully always until such time that we manage to help them become a democracy we can trust and a trusted ally. There is no comfortable neutrality when it comes to communist dictatorships.
