Cuba Si Castro No

Here we go.. The days millions of cubans have waited for. The day in which old beardycakes may have kicked the rusty old bucket. At around 9:15pm while watching a reruns the local CBS affiliate breaks in to announce that Castro had surgery and ceded power to his little brother.

Well all hell broke loose. Speculation started. People in the streets. You heard theories that he was already dead because he would never give up power and/or had never done so in the last 47 years. I laughed seeing all these "new cubans" in the streets. Seemed to me that anyone who has been here for over 30+ years was sitting at home instead of overreacting. Saw a few gringo political candidates there in front of versailles speaking broken spanish to the cameras and/or showing solidarity with the cuban voting bloc. Always nice to get some free pub.

Best part of the night was Channel 4 stating at like midnight that CBS sources confirm that Castro is Alive. Can they confirm Elvis and JFK are still alive and living in Cuba?

Time will tell...
