Fidel Castro, the Cuban despot best known lately for his penchant for dying and resurfacing then dying again, has died again, according to our correspondent in Brazil, President Luiz “Lou” Lula:

No new videos or pictures of Castro have been released since mid-September, and the death rumors are surfacing again. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula is very close to Castro, and journalists in Brazil broke the story about Castro’s cancer months ago. Time Magazine recently confirmed the story.

“You know that I love the Cuban revolution. I only regret that Fidel Castro didn’t make a political opening while he was still alive,” Lula said.

This statement has been the source of much discussion over what Lula “really meant.” I prefer to suppose that he really meant what he said: Castro is dead. Again.
