If There's a Dictator Heaven, You Know They've got a Hell of a Politburo

Castro, evidently, will soon be with Beria, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Che Guevara:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The CIA has concluded that Cuban President Fidel Castro suffers from Parkinson's disease and could have difficulty coping with the duties of office as his condition worsens, an official said Wednesday.

The assessment, completed in recent months, suggests the nonfatal but debilitating disease has progressed far enough to warrant questions among U.S. policymakers about the communist country's future in the next several years.

"The assessment is that he has the disease and that his condition has progressed. There appear to be more outward signs," said an official who is familiar with the assessment.
Update: It now appears that Castro is thumbing his nose at the Parkinson's report.
