UNCONFIRMED NEWS STORY: Castro Dead

As of this posting, the story is unconfirmed. It is being reported over the radio that Fidel Castro has died. Keep your fingers crossed.

Just type in the words "Castro" and "dead" in the same search field and see how many hits you get.

This came from CNN in 2001.

So what would change?

I'm sure the QP's have their ideas and rightfully so, some have been waiting for a few years to see this man go.

I say a post-Castro thread for debate would be nice.

OK, you've got two lawyers (I'm volunteering AL, I'm sure he won't mind). We'll bring our own guns too.

Can anyone confirm this "report" yet? What is the source? If you need any other help on your little island, I'd be more than happy to run the cigar plants.

Nothing Yet

Nothing yet on Drudge.

Oh, that would be cool. Drudge scooped by PS.com.

Might just have to go shooting Saturday at the Lodge on that one.

Raul is next in line, but I don't think he can hold it together. I think we are looking at a Berlin Wall scenario - not immediately, but not long after.

I'm down. I'll get you a fully equiped Marine Corps fire team in about 48 hours. Not quite as sexy as a QP's I know, but hey we're just as good if you like it loud and messy...

He's not dead, if he was, it would be all over the wires.
