Cuban leader and tracksuit enthusiast Fidel Castro met with Brazilian President President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, proving he is both 1) alive and 2) not dead. What did the two talk about? Who cares! What was Fidel wearing and, tell us, was his hair combed?:

Wearing a tracksuit and tennis shoes that have become his trademark since he fell ill, Castro is seen seated and grinning, his beard well-trimmed and his hair combed as he talks with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. In some images, he is seen pretending to snap pictures with a small camera.

His hair was the color of fresh snow that has been perhaps shat upon by several very small birds and his eyes twinkled like the flames of a thousand hellfires. His breasts? Magnificent:

Taken in an undisclosed location, the photographs were given to reporters as Silva left Cuba, concluding a 24-hour visit. They were the first photos of Castro since October, when he met with his good friend and socialist ally, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Silva said he and Castro met for two and a half hours and “conversed about all topics.”

They also giggled and painted one another’s toenails. Electric flamingo pink, if you must know.

“He has incredible lucidity and impeccable health,” the Brazilian president said. “He’s as lucid as in his best moments.”

When he’s at his best, it is almost exactly like how he is when he is at his best. Thank you, journalism!
