Celebrity blogger sez: Fidel Castro ha muerto

Perez Hilton, who blogs on all things Britney and Lindsay, and, um, Elton John, claims to have a big scoop today: He says Fidel Castro is dead. Either he's kidding (which is totally possible), or he must have some hot tippers down in Cuba.

Oh this has to be a joke. This is probably why I read the New York Times and listen BBC.

Last week he was posting this story and Miami Herald this evening is discussing the rumors.

So where is Castro hiding? Noone has seen him for how long? Since the first mention of his death?

I've been telling my friends since last September that Fidel is dead. If you pay attention to what is and has been said and reported, and how it's been said and reported about his: illness, surgery, "recovery", coupled with the fact that the Cuban public and world officials have not seen him "live", it's pretty clear that he is no longer with us. I also think that this has been done to buy time for those currently in power, because when the facts do come to light - that country is going to bust wide open to the world. Better go visit soon; the "old Cuba" is about to be renewed.

Hmmm...

Interesting speculation with this.

Maybe they hired engineers to manufacture an animitron, like the Abe Lincoln at Disneyland.

That way, every now and then 'Fidel' can 'hold' up a newspaper, and "say something" carefully orchestrated to be a current topic.

Why, with that kind of thing, 'Fidel' could serve at least another 20 or more years, eh?

Sounds like a possible Halliburton project to me...

How can I believe someone whom can't even spell legitimate? I'm sure the world will know about Castro's death when it happens. Plus he has many followers whom won't keep their grief silent.
