So Castro has resigned from the Cuban presidency. You know, the one he's continuously won won in fair elections for the last half-century.
I saw this posted on Fark today, and I'm glad I wasn't the only person who thought of this at first...

I did catch the Castro resignation as it happened. Around 3am EST this morning Cuba announced that Castro was stepping down and they’d be “holding elections” (or whatever they’re calling their sham electoral process) sometime this weekend.
I find the timing completely bizarre. Unless the government spokes-agency people had toddlers running around their houses and felt like getting some work done, there’s no good reason why the announcement couldn’t have waited until the morning. Was Castro up at 3am thinking to himself “damn this job sucks, I really should retire”? Not likely.
The only valid reason to make an announcement like that at 3am was that the government was in a hurry. Something happened in the middle of the night to make them move up the timetable.
I’m going to go out on a limb and speculate that Castro is dead.
The Cuban government is getting their house in order before announcing it. They’ll “elect” his brother Raoul as Supreme King Hand of God of Cuba or whatever they call it. Then next week they’ll announce that Castro suddenly died, peacefully and in a way in no way related to his colon. |

An interesting theory.
In short, though, it matters very little. Castro's kid brother will take over, and the perpetual reign of those "entitled" to power will continue.
I think we're to the point where Cuba is just a house of cards waiting to fall. When it finally does, we'll pick up the pieces. |

Pff...predicting Castro is dead is NOT going out on a limb. The first thought I had this morning when I read it was that he was dead. I don't trust Cuba for a second. Castro was a dictator for life & now his brother will be until he dies as well. That country is STILL S C R E W E D!
