Fidel Animated!
The Cuban government has made an official announcement that Fidel Castro is "animated".
Castro, who is due to turn 80 next week, "is recuperating favorably" from intestinal surgery, and physically and in terms of his spirits, "he's better than I am," joked Alarcon, 69.
Castro is "stable, recuperating, animated," Alarcon added Saturday.
"Of course, any surgery is a delicate matter, something to be cautious about, but he was not unconscious, nor asleep, nor sedated. He is conversing," Alarcon said, amid persisting speculation that Castro might be dead, fuelled by the fact that he has not been seen publicly since ceding power late Monday.
We here at Blue Crab Boulevard would like to take this opportunity to tell the world that the Cuban government is speaking the absolute truth about this. How do we know? Simple, one of our super-duper secret operatives from the Magic 8-Ball Intelligence Service and Strip-O-Gram, Inc. managed to sneak into the secret location Fidel Castro has been in since Monday. He managed to get one picture out to us, but we're not sure what happened to him after that since his satellite connection was lost. So here's the one picture our brave agent got. As you can see, the animation is coming along nicely:
