Just now on Yakkity&Drones, Dick Morris said that with Raoul in power, Cuba could become a modern democracy in "a few years".
I know nothing about Raoul, but I'm pretty sure Morris is a world-class jackass.
Help me out here!!

I think Chavez will be happy when the old man passes away, then he will be the undisputed leader of the anti-US faction in Latin America.

Breaking: Castro is transferring power provisionally to brother Raul whil he undergoes an operation. If Raul was smart he'd have the operation botched with a nice bribe or a severe threat to the doctor.

He like Arafat will die many times before it's official.
I hope he suffers mightily for all his evil crimes.

Wonder if Hugo Chavez would like to take over Cuba.

What else do we know about Ignatius? He became the first Superior General of his order and died on July 31, 1556. The universal Church celebrates his feast day on July 31.So Castro will die on the feast day of Saint Ignatius. He went to a jesuit school as a child

"I think Chavez will be happy when the old man passes away, then he will be the undisputed leader of the anti-US faction in Latin America." His reign will be short lived. Cuba will become a democracy, followed closely by Chavez being overthrown...

I've got a feeling this thread has got legs.
Couldn't we change the title to Castro Dies! Live thread?
