#5 Castro reportedly in grave condition

lawsy I take it that Castro's tummy is a pocket of pus and festering boils then.

10¢ he's got an archipelago of erupting fistulas from head to toe.

#6 but if it's very widespread, or if abscesses form, or if the bacteria are multi-drug resistant then you have the best case scenario.

There, fixed it for you.

#7 ... in grave condition. Does that mean Castro's ready for interment? Score 1 for the headline writer.

#16 According to this article on MSNBC, the ol' bastard had seven operations in one day because of stitching problems, and three failed operations for diverticulitis. I don't know much about medicine, but, ooooh, that can't be good.

Next headline: "South Florida Experiences Acute Rum Shortage in Wake of Castro's Passing; Hollywood Appalled"

#18 Apparently in this worker's paradise with its fabled high quality medical care they couldn't find a Cuban doctor able to treat diverticulitus.

#20 How soon after he becomes "STABLE like FRANCO" will we be able to wheel and deal over all those antique cars in Cuba?

#25 Might be more fun if he goes chronic, but lingers on long enough to watch Cuba open up.
