#17  I saw this on MSNBC today at the gym. Looks like the old coot missed a step on the way down from the podium and did a face plant. I did a doubled-over lmao. Couldn't of happened to a better asshole.

#12  Raoul doesn't have the charisma or "sentimentality" invoked by Fidel. I predict he'll crack down and then be overthrown/die in bed of a gunshot

#11  The only problem with that old bastard dying is that he will be replaced by his brother Raoul, who is currently head of Cuba's "internal security" forces. From what I've heard Fidel is the nicer of the two brothers.

#9  heh, heh...this is huge. Castro has always beneifited from an image of being robust, strong and invincible. That image was just shattered and now we think, old man, broken hip, not invincible.

Send the man some baby wipes. Soon he'll be mumbling and jabbering like Arafat.

#6  Castro had made it clear he did not want to leave the area in an ambulance and was later seen being driven away in his black Mercedes Benz.

Nope. No '59 Chevy for him.
Viva la Revolution, Peasants!
