Fidel Castro is alive and doing quite well. Well enough even to read the paper in his favorite casual wear:

Cuban printing, not to mention photography, is truly remarkable. The text is so crisp it almost looks like it should have one of those disclaimers they always have in print ads and TV commercials, ‘simulated image.’
He even had a cheering visit from his old pal Jimmy Carter, who flew in for a game of catch:

There he is again, in his favorite duds. Castro, active as ever.
Here he was later in the day, on the pitcher’s mound. He whiffed Carter on three straight pitches:

The more I think about it, though, Fidel’s beard is darker than it’s been in years. Cuban medicine does it again!

You’re not trying to subtly imply that a communist dictatorship would lie to its own people?!
Why, what ever do you mean?
Wahaha. Wait, are those real?
Hmm.. the only one that is unaltered is the second one. The first and third have been altered in some way, but I don’t know how much/in what way exactly. Though the third one looks like his head pasted on someone else’s body.
For all we know Castro is dead and they are introducing the brand new digital dictator. Wouldn’t that be a trip?
Wait … I think I see fishing string on those photos … no, wait. My bad, it’s just the wisps of the souls of thousands of oppressed cuban freedom seekers leeking forth from the evil that has captured them.
Falsified and photoshopped claims of happiness and good health? In Cuba?
I’m shocked.
Shocked!
