Our Friend Castro

Rumors that Fidel Castro is dying are flying around the blogosphere. Everyone is treating the rumor as just that but most conservative Blogs are hoping it’s true. Babalu Blog is having a Castro deathwatch, a contest to pick the date of death; winner gets a Babalú and Che? Still dead! T-shirt. This will come as a hard blow to leftist admirers across the the country, especially those at the New York Times. It was a New York Times editorial writer named Herbert L. Matthews that was instrumental in putting Castro in power. The Real Cuba reports that Hugo Chavez said last night that he recently saw Castro and "he is stronger than ever." I find that encouraging.
