Rumor: Castro dead.

[patcox2]

So says Wonkette. Anyone heard anything? That'd be interesting. Wonder what the reaction of the miami fascist population, er, I mean cuban population, would be?

1. That's quite a rumor

He looked pretty healthy last seen, but he IS an old man.

[AngryAmish]

2. I thought he was supposed to live for 140 years?

[jobycom]

6. Yeah, but that's got a margin of error of plus or minus 60 years

[Sherman A1]

3. It will

certainly happen someday, I guess we will get to watch their reaction on Fox.

[KurtNYC]

4. "rumor started on Wall Street" ?!

Traders get these things quickly - may or may not prove true - but they get the info because it has potential trading value to them.

[jobycom]

10. That's one of the few sources LESS reliable than the MSM. nt

[htuttle]

5. More likely that...

A) Somebody at State is trying to spark an uprising in Cuba (yeah, right...like Fidel's death is ALL Cubans are waiting for to become market capitalists...)
B) Somebody is trying to juice up the Stock Market today until the rumor is disproved.

7. Anyone else remember the "Katherine Harris is dead" rumor a while back?

I love these rumors. Kind of like chewing bubblegum.

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. Well that one is understandable. She looks like a...

mortician fixes her face and makeup.

(No offense to morticians intended)

[jobycom]

14. LOL! No, this was a plane crash she was rumored to be in. Kept us

busy one night. People were calling her office, searching news reports out of Canada (where the plane crashed), trying to guess at the meaning of denials or none comments by her staff when individuals called. Someone here called her office around midnight, and someone answered, so we were convinced that proved it! :rofl: Ah, good times, good times.

Happily or not, the rumors were false. Or at least premature. I remember when she made a public statement denying her death, some of the CTers accused her of lying! :rofl: (I made that up. Sorry.)

[AngryAmish]

17. Katherine Harris is dead?

That is big news!

[jobycom]

18. LOL! Yeah, let's start it over again! Nah, it'd just give her free pub.

Wouldn't want her to acquire any sympathy votes.

8. Bushco is whipping up

the base. It is not true.

[helderheid]

11. I don't know

[slackmaster]

12. That one's been circulating since about 1957

:tinfoilhat:

[Richard Steele]

24. Yeah, they made that film about it back in '89....

Fidel Castro Reported Dead Here is another;'When rumors attack: Castro dead? Is this it? Cohibas and, uh … what else does Cuba produce? Sugar cane?

Cohibas and pixie sticks for everyone tonight.

It’d be ironic if he bought it on the day they’re playing the All-Star game. Because he was/is a big baseball fan, see. Although I guess that’s not really that ironic. It’s ironic in the Alanis Morrisette sense, how’s that?http://hotair.com/archives/the-blog/2006/07/11/when-rumors-attack-castro-dead/ :eyes:

Cuba warns dissidents over US aid

Fidel Castro: Cuba's dominant presence for nearly 50 years

A top Cuban official has warned dissidents they will face consequences if they accept funds from a new US plan to promote political change in Cuba.
Cuba's National Assembly president, Ricardo Alarcon, said the plan was a "politically delirious provocation".

President George W Bush on Monday approved the $80m (£43m) fund which he said would help boost democracy in Cuba.

A US commission has been analysing policy on Cuba after the eventual death

of Fidel Castro who is 80 next month.

Mr Alarcon told the Spanish news agency, Efe, that any dissidents who "conspired " with Washington and accepted its funding would have to "face the consequences".

It would be a crime to accept such money under Cuban law, as it would be in any country, Mr Alarcon aid.
