Associated Press / Jose Goitia

Though he’s been laying low for the last year after undergoing intestinal surgery, Cuban leader Fidel Castro (pictured) is still well enough to remain in charge of his country, according to Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque, despite rumors that his health is rapidly deteriorating.

Good thing Hugo Chavez stepped up to the plate to replace Castro’s communist boogy man role. The U.S. should boycott Venezuelan oil. That’ll teach those bastards!

Fidel Castro is not ‘laying’ low; he is lying and how low can he get without dying?

How many months now have we had to listen to stories about Castro’s demise? Just think, when Castro dies the fatcats can go back to Cuba with their whores and gambling. The mafia will have a southern resort and the Cubans living in Miami will finally realize that living in Miami beats living in Havana. Then all of the bitching and whining about Castro will be finished thank goodness. Then…the mainstream (pardon the expression) media will have to get off its ass and look for a real story.
