Castro’s not dead yet, yes he is, no he’s not. Well, he looks dead.

Michelle Malkin comments on her blog that rumors are flying that Castro is dead again. Babalu is quite certain he’s dead. Being as Castro pretty much killed the Cuban economy and civil rights many years ago, no one is completely sure he’s dead. He just looks more dead than not of late. I’m not holding my breath. And, for the immediate future, I don’t think it makes a lot of difference as Castro’s brother or something like that is set to take control. He’s not Castro, and doesn’t look like him, but he doesn’t have much of anything to work with so I don’t see a lot changing in Havana anytime soon. I do have friends ready to invest in Cuba when they do get their senses back. But, all of this babble is just a preface so that I could quote one of my favoritest Monty Python skits:
MEDIA: Here’s one — nine pence.
CASTRO: I’m not dead!
BLOGGERS: What?
MEDIA: Nothing — here’s your nine pence.
CASTRO: I’m not dead!
BLOGGERS: Here — he says he’s not dead!
MEDIA: Yes, he is.
CASTRO: I’m not!
BLOGGERS: He isn’t.
MEDIA: Well, he will be soon, he’s very ill.
CATRO: I’m getting better!
BLOGGERS: No, you’re not — you’ll be stone dead in a moment.
MEDIA: Oh, I can’t take him like that — it’s against regulations.
CASTRO: I don’t want to go in the cart!
MEDIA: Oh, don’t be such a baby.
BLOGGERS: I can’t take him…
CASTRO: I feel fine!
MEDIA: Oh, do us a favor…
BLOGGERS: I can’t.
MEDIA: Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long.
BLOGGERS: Naaah, I got to go on to Robinson’s — they’ve lost nine today.
MEDIA: Well, when is your next round?
BLOGGERS: Thursday.
CASTRO: I think I’ll go for a walk.
MEDIA: You’re not fooling anyone y’know. Look, isn’t there something you can do?
CASTRO: I feel happy… I feel happy.
[whop]
MEDIA: Ah, thanks very much.

Saw a picture of Castro (Fidel) the day he resigned and was quoted as saying it was time for a vacation. I saw that wide eyed blank stare on his face. I’ve seen that look before. I don’t think its too long before he takes a very long “vacation.”
