Countdown
Fidel Castro is reportedly in extremely grave condition.
MADRID, Spain - Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is in "very grave" condition after three failed operations and complications from an intestinal infection, a Spanish newspaper said Tuesday.
The newspaper El Pais cited two unnamed sources from the Gregorio Maranon hospital in the Spanish capital of Madrid. The facility employs surgeon Jose Luis Garcia Sabrido, who flew to Cuba in December to treat the 80-year-old Castro.
In a report published on its Web site, El Pais said: "A grave infection in the large intestine, at least three failed operations and various complications have left the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, laid up with a very grave prognosis."
The earlier link was prophetic (should have linked it sooner, perhaps). I imagine they're putting a whole new furnace on line in the nether regions in honor of his arrival.

Hell must be getting giddy with all these old school satan’s coming home. I always find it true that the good die young but evil lives forever and with Saddam and now Castro living so long on earth to return to live forever in the place they made for others on earth is truly delicious.
