The Castro Croaking Contest (Updated)
Update July12, 2006: Welcome Michelle Malkin readers! In case you havent heard, there's yet another fidel castro has died rumor going around. No confirmation as to its veracity as yet and I'm not sure if I expect any. You can read more about it here, here, here and especially here. You can also choose a date for the demise of the dictator in the comments section. Winner gets a free Babalú and Che? Still dead! tshirt.
Another Update: The culprit responsible for fidel castro's demise has been outed.
Given Fidel's recent brush with a hard surface, I thought this would be a perfect time to rerun The Castro Croaking Contest. All you have to do is pick the day the bearded one takes his final fall.
There are a couple of dates taken already, the rest have come and gone.
We have:
July 4, 2004
2005, the Latin Grammies Show date
May 31, 2004
May 5, 2004
November 21, 2003
April 17, 2004
March 13, 2007
October 9, 2003
December 23, 2005
March 23, 2006
February 6, 2005
Today.
The one with the date closest to the exact day Castro Croaks, wins. Winner will receive a box of Cuban cigars and my never ending gratitude.
What's your guess?

February 6, 2005 -- not soon enough, but will do.

Hmm... Lots of nearby dates but I'll go with June 30, 2005.
Posted by: Scott Kirwin at October 22, 2004 09:16 AM
June 30 is my birthday, but I'll take July 13, 2005, the anniversary of the sinking of 13 de Marzo. I want to be wrong, though. I want him to die sooner.--s

Febuary 2, 2005 (Groundhog Day)
I think Castro kinda looks like the groundhog from Caddyshack.

How will you know what the correct day is? You may not know for WEEKS afterward, and even then the date of actual death may always be in doubt.
(Funny how the NYT is so supportive of a regime that would never allow something like the NYT to exist at all).

Dead in the flesh? Maybe a few days ago, maybe tomorrow. Dead in the soul? About 50 years ago.

October 9, 2007 - 30 years after Ernesto Guevara bit the dust.
Posted by: Jeremiah at July 12, 2006 11:49 PM
Woops, make that 40 years after Ernesto bought it.
Posted by: Jeremiah at July 12, 2006 11:50 PM
I'm thinking...August 14, 2006. It's the day after his birthday, and I've no doubt that the egotistical bastard'll want to die at 80, not 79...I doubt he'll go before that. He'll fight like hell if he can. Unless, of course, he's already deal and Brother Raul is lying.
