Fidel, while Havana burns

C was recently asking me if I thought Fidel was still among the living. I told her that, fauxtographed pictures not withstanding, I thought he was still kicking. "When he goes," I said, "they'll mobilize the army. Every communist/totalitarian country does that when their leader kicks off so that upstarts can be put down quickly. That hasn't happened yet, so he's gotta be alive." Well, they mobilized the army. Guess we can expect the martial music and the announcement any time now . . . .
