Castro Dead or Close to Dead

From three different sources, I have received strong indications that Castro has died or is about to. Babalu Blog is one source. An emailer also passed on the rumor of his death.

Another emailer stated that Hugo Chavez left Venezuela a few days ago to say some last words to Fidel, indicating he's close to death. There's no confirmation as yet.

I just hope Castro's last days are painful. Excruciatingly painful! Maybe the citizens of Cuba can glean a small measure of comfort knowing that every one of Fidel's evil nerves is screaming.
