I thought he did that a couple of years ago when his brother took over?

HAVANA — Fidel Castro confirmed he had resigned from the top leadership of the Cuba Communist Party in an article published on Tuesday, after the party approved a raft of economic reforms.

He’s abdicating to take the VP spot on the new Obama ticket.

Sorry, Joe.

I guess he stepped down from one leadership role but did not completely give up power.

Perhaps, because of our President, Cuba has decided to become a representative republic and adopt Capitalism so that they can continue to be our adversary.

He is probably half dead by now.

He’ll never completely give up power until he’s dead.

The old commie can't live forever. He's is being measured for a hermetically sealed glass display box.

There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth among our liberal friends. One of their oldest and most respected heros is heading for the dustbin of history. Alas, who can a commie look up to these days?

One a more important note, what does this news mean for all those great 1950s American land yachts that perambulate through the streets of Havana?
