He's fine I'm looking at him right now. Except for the crap stain on his exerize suit in the middle of his chest where doctors created his new dump box, he looks fine. Well he has also lost all that weight which makes his nose and lips look weired. But other than than he looks fine. Really! Sorry got to run El Comandante just took a big dukie and I've got to get him into a new track outfit. Like I always say you never know when he is going to run.

While Local 10 doesn't usually report on rumors, the magnitude of how far reaching this was couldn't be ignored.

What may start as a whisper, quickly grows into a chorus of thousands.

The rumors have circulated for years. Usually every couple of months they'd start, but in the past week, the rumors have been in overdrive.

Local 10 called its contacts at the White House. Spokespeople there said they were aware of "no change in Cuba." A spokesperson of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said "it's all rumor and that Castro is fine."

An ABC news source in Cuba said all is quiet in Havana and as far as he knows, no announcement is pending.

In fact, the president of the Cuban National Assembly Ricardo Alarcon is reported to be on the beach in Varadero and would presumably be in Havana if a major announcement was imminent.

Local 10's assignment desk also contacted police departments , which said they are monitoring the situation and taking it very seriously. Miami police said they are in contact with the FBI "hourly."

Channel 7 just said its a rumor, but they are working on the story. I don't buy this shit! THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT IS SECRETIVE ABOUT CASTRO AND WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO HIM AFTER HIS SURGERY.

I need to get the hell out of MIAMI before the Cubans bring there pot and pans to the street.

Dude, I don't know who your sources are but step back a moment. The world is waiting on Miami traffic to announce Castro's death? Something doesn't sound right. Castro's death is a world news, not just Miami news.

I am sorry…. But the US doesnt have control of all other international medias. I assume that if it were real, The BBC and all other new sources would have announced it already. Just because little Miami is in the middle of Rush Hour, I am sure that wont effect the world news. And if it does, HOW SAD IS THAT.. Face it folks, he is still alive and kcking.

Uh, why would the Cuban government wait until Miamis rush hour is over? Nothing is official until the CUBAN Government announces it. Until then its just another in a list of rumors. I dont think they would time their announcement based on our traffic concerns.
Sarah says – reply to this

687

As much as we would all like for this story to be true, it just doesn't make sense. Why do you think that the US government would hide this news from us for a week? Why are NO other news sources saying that Fidel is dead? And why is the Miami Herald running a news story (you can find it online) stating that these RUMORS of Fidel's death have been cropping up for the past several weeks, and that they are just RUMORS?

I can guarantee a few things.. When Fidel dies, it will be huge news, the US government will know about it right away and will immediately and gleefully share the news with us, and the major news networks will definitely be the ones to break this story… not Perez Hilton.

690

Why on earth would Cuban officials care about Miami traffic? If the shit is going to fly in Miami, Cuban officials certainly wouldn't care. It's not FL officials who'd be announcing Castro's death. So seriously, it's not because of Miami traffic that there's been no announcement. It's because he's not dead.
