Whoa! Fidel Castro has been seen in public for the first time since he underwent emergency hospitalization four years ago. I was pretty convinced that he had succomed to his nasty intestinal infection. I mean, besides random op-eds, the only thing we've heard of the old coot was a taped message that sounded straight out of the cold war.
So after all of this, he walks on stage dressed like a plastic green army man. He gives the same cold-war speech and instead of his characteristic hour-long rants, ends after 11 minutes. People applaud, chant his name, and the international elite congratulate themselves by getting drunk and smashing mailboxes.
I think the story here is obvious. Castro is actually a powerful mage with centuries of arcane knowledge. After conquering Cuba, he assured his immorality by binding his soul to the motherland, intertwining the fates of the two.The ritual insured that as long as one existed, so would the other. After becoming infected with an illness that evaded the talents of his best court healers, he descended into death. Over the last four years, Cuba has reconstitute his body into a hollow construction of un-life. Now, undead zombie Castro rises to take lead of his great empire again!
Or it could just be a body double. But what's the fun with that?
