I just read an amusing rumor of someone's demise… Fidel Castro is (supposedly) dead.
The scuttlebutt says that Fidel is dead, his brother Raoul will resign, and somehow they're going to appoint Hugo Chavez the Commandante.
Wha?
That sounds a little far-fetched at first blush. But I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Fidel has finally assumed room temperature. There are a lot of people in Miami that have been hoping for this for over 40 years. Of course if the Hugo Chavez connection were remotely possible then Cuba's future would remain bleak.
Even if Castro hasn't passed yet, it'll be interesting watching Cuban officials deal with it when it happens.
