The rumors are circulating that Cuban dictator Fidel Castro has passed away. Keep in mind that it is just a rumor at this point - no official confirmation.
If this is true, I can think of a few people who will be heartbroken.

I’ll try and find my Queen CD to play “Another One Bites the Dust” in honor of old Fidel and any other Dictator that croaks.

Shall we take up a collection to buy our little pet troll Steve a black armband just in case?

Anyone have the clip of Robert Duvall in “The Great Santini” where the character is in a F-4 fantasizing about chasing Fidel Castro down a street?

This had better not be an April Fool’s joke. Someone’s going to pay if it is.

The Argentinian Indymedia press release says he died at home of a heart attack. First of all, call me what you will, but I was hoping for something far more painful. Second, don’t you have to have a heart to have a heart attack?

Libertarianobserver I don’t think there is any difference between a pet rock and little pet troll Steve they both have the same amount of intelligence and personality.

Val Prieto at Babalu Blog thinks this is bogus. I’m with him until I see the corpse being rolled out.
His demise can’t come soon enough, just like all the other dictators that are holding on, much to the detriment of their countries.

Fidel dead?
A whole bunch of Cuban-Americans wish for it… But that’s not likely right now.
Hold on to those champaigne bottles. Party hasn’t started yet…

If Castro is dead, which is unlikely, then the everyone should rejoice, because once again the people of Cuba are free.
