Castro-related conspiracy theory of the day

For once, it doesn’t have to do with him being dead. I’m going to assume that (a) his inner circle wanted to prove that he was alive by having him hold some book that was recently published, (b) dug the idea of it being Greenspan’s book just to tweak the capitalists and give some fresh hype to his “war for oil” shtick, and (c) couldn’t buy the book in Cuba or have it shipped there due to the sanctions so someone was dispatched to Florida to get it at the Miami B&N and then fly it back.
Seems like a long way to go just to show he’s still kicking, though.

Castro is on dialup. He’s a week behind, so he’s just now getting the tweaked pre-release version from last weekend, thinking Greenspan is Bush-bashing. Man, is he gonna be soooo embarrassed tomorrow when he listens to Rush’s last Monday broadcast with all of the clarifications.

Whoa!! Where are the military fatigues?
Troy Rasmussen on September 22, 2007 at 12:25 PM
he’s been wearing that adidas jumpsuit for like 6 months. He’s gotta be ripe – and its not just because of rigormortis.

If you look closely, the track suit is emblazoned on the upper right with “F. Castro”
That pretty much sums it up.

I doubt he can feed himself at this point and likely has to wear diapers.
Perhaps death can wait a little longer…lingering around another month as a bedridden invalid who can’t control his bladder is good enough.

Tic-toc, tic-toc…….

F. Castro.
That’s what I always say.
Does he have some deal with adidas for those snappy tracksuits?

On the upside, it’s nice to see him embracing capitalism.
Deathbed conversion, perhaps.
JammieWearingFool on September 22, 2007 at 12:50 PM
there is only one conversion he will find there…..

He is not in power anymore. He is meerly a figurehead (or a saint according to Chavez).
I don’t care who you are, that’s pretty funny….

Look at where the elbo is. It would have been so easy to photoshop in that arm like they did with Rummy.

P.S. I don’t think it’s fake, but I’d love to float it out there to irk Castros information ministers.

don’t give me ideas MirCat…..now where on the hard-drive did I put the photo of Billary?

1. Love Cuba
2. Hate Castro.
3. I read the book and Greenspan made pretty clear (in english) his feelings toward GWB. No clarifications necessary. I would suggest it, pretty good read. Don’t rely on audio books read in rushgibberish.

Is it possible that he ordered it from B&N’s site? Although, is that even legal considering embargoes?
amerpundit on September 22, 2007 at 2:11 PM
Doesn’t matter because that “F. Castro” is ghost Greenspan saying it to ghost Fidel.
I must, I must visit a free Cuba in my lifetime! One of my few big dreams because it’s so symbolic.
Viva Cuba libre!
Entelechy on September 22, 2007 at 2:17 PM
Yeah, he doesn’t look too good.
If you order a book online from B&N, I have a feeling it won’t have that sticker on it. Someone had to go into a B&N physically.

Now seems like as good a time as any to revisit this.
Quoting Dennis Miller: This is the funniest thing that has ever happened where nobody in attendance laughed.
Wingo on September 22, 2007 at 3:10 PM
Thanks for the link…….but that doesn’t explain why he had brain damage from since he’s young.

“For once, it doesn’t have to do with him being dead.”
Damn.
Too bad the turd is still breathing.
georgej on September 22, 2007 at 3:38 PM
As a former B&N Employee…if that photo is true blue, you would have had to get that book in the store to have that sticker. Additionally, the B&N website has a image of the book, but it does not have the stickers on it.
I think he’s got the real thing. I’m just now curious who went to a B&N stateside and got it for him? And where is he really?
techinblack on September 22, 2007 at 3:53 PM
Am I the only one who thinks it extremely comical that the Socialist King Castro picks the Capitalist US X Fed chiefs Greenspan book. That is funny to me.
Be like a Islamic Zealot reading Benjamin Franklin’s readings about human freedoms.
C-Low on September 22, 2007 at 3:54 PM
Now THAT’s funny trubble!
BobH on September 22, 2007 at 4:47 PM
funny Allah :)
BobH on September 22, 2007 at 5:19 PM
I feel a photoshop contest coming on. Put a different book in F. Castro’s hand.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on September 22, 2007 at 9:19 PM
F. Castro is either immortal or he has borrowed Osama’s videographer.
Seriously though, can’t he just die already? Those people in little Havana want to celebrate already (as do I).
Clouds on September 23, 2007 at 11:18 AM
Kathryn Jean Lopez seems to agree
