It's Friday, so Castro's not yet dead

Sure as rain, every Friday there's a rumor or denial concerning the not-dead-yet dictator of the island-prison:
BOOK: CASTRO'S SON SAYS DAD DYING; BUT CUBAN LEADER DETERMINED TO OUTLIVE BUSH PRESIDENCY

Tell ya what: "Castro" is determined to outlive all American presidencies because he is a dictator.

And of course, Fidel's Mini-Me pipes in: Cuba's Castro nearly died but is OK now: Chavez

UPDATE: Oh, look, he's even wearing wearing the Adidas jogging suit, and looking healthy again. The BBC has a video report here.

Prior jogging-suit photo-ops here and here

At 9:41 PM, Kate said...: I saw the video live online, my brother tipped me off. He was talking about Greenspan's book, and if I'm not mistaken, what the dollar's value was as of yesterday.

When will this dinosaur kick the bucket?!
At 4:19 PM, newton said...: The dinosaur probably has. They probably just want to delay the inevitable... uprising to ensue the moment it becomes official...

... that is, if they don't make Castro go beyond 100...
