Fidel Castro Makes Rare Public Appearance In Havana HAVANA, CUBA - JANUARY 08: Fidel Castro, Cuba's former President and revolutionary leader, makes a rare public appearance to attend the inauguration of an art gallery on January 8, 2014 in Havana, Cuba. Castro, who ceded power to his brother Raul Castro in 2008 after falling ill in 2006, has last been seen in public in February 2013 at a National Assembly meeting. The gallery Castro visited is run by Cuban artist Alexis Leyva, aka Kcho.

Official newspapers and websites on Thursday carried a photo showing a seated, gray-haired Castro from behind, pointing at a work of art while artist Alexis Leyva leans in to talk to him at the Wednesday night event. Cuban state television also broadcast video of the encounter on the afternoon news.

Ain’t Fidel dead yet?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Nope. He’s the Keith Richards of commies, he just won’t die.

Fidel, who is still very much in excellent mental health, came out today to endorse obozo for his 2012 reelection run.

He was heard to utter: “burble, PHHHHHT! burble.”

The crowd was ecstatic!

The members of the press were awed!

Meanwhile, back in the land of America, a humble businessman tried to eek out a living and create a job or two. (The members of the press BOOED!).

[jazusamo]

Doesn’t look like the old commie has much time left and the younger one is saddened. A most appropriate pic.

Fidel has exactly one more noteworthy thing to do.

Wish he’d get to it.

[Pining_4_TX]

Ha, ha, too true! There isn’t enough air freshener in the world to perfume that old goat Castro, though.

[Darksheare]

Yes.
