Rumors about his demise have circulated many times before, so take this developing news story with a grain of salt. Keep it tuned to the Babalu Blog (more here) for all the latest.
If it does turn out to be true, expect a day of mourning in Hollywood (and of course, San Francisco), and a memorial service held shortly thereafter for ol’ Fidel which will include the likes of Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte, Steven Spielberg, Michael Moore … heck, for that matter, the California state flag might even be flown at half staff (said with heartfelt apologies to the 15 Republicans who still live there).

A day of mourning? Heckfire - the aforementioned bozos still weep with sorrow and gnash their teeth over the fall of the Berlin Wall!
What you can expect is a gazillion-and-one conspiracy theories on how Karl Rove (acting on orders from VP Cheney and Ken Lay) had Fidel assassinated so that the US could invade Cuba and steal Cuban oil.
If the little cigar-chompin’ cucaracha is still alive, just modify those conspiracy theories a little to failed assassination. Why waste a perfectly good deranged conspiracy theory?

- Actually ST, there are as many Reps as Left-bugs here. You can tell the Dems by the “quagmire” stickers on the back trunks of their Saabs.
- We just don’t have court appointed therupists, or subscriptions to the Daily Worker on the living room table.

- Oh and as for Fiedela, the last thing I read this past week is his health is really weakened, and hes hooked on a serum drip tube 24/7 now. He hasn’t been seen in public for over a year, even missing his nirthday celebration. I think that tumble he took did some irrepairable damage, so its just a matter of when now.
