Our continuing coverage of Fidel Castro’s health is one more way Guanabee is committed to the issues that matter to you.

The papers are all abuzz today with news of Castro’s improving appetite after suspected surgery for “inflamed bulging of the large intestine that was complicated by serious infection.” Reuters reports that he is now able to hold down food and we are subjected to far more detail about his orifices than we would like:

For many months I depended on I/Vs and catheters (Editor’s Note: Ew!]through which I received an important part of my nourishment,” the 80-year-old leftist firebrand wrote. “Today I receive orally everything my recovery requires.”

If we had a dollar for every time we heard a facist dictator say that. For more Castro deathwatch stay tuned to Guanabee.
