Castro’s doctor is at it again, repeating his annual statement that Castro will live to be 140. (Via Drudge, whose photo of the rapidly aging dictator belies his doctor’s absurdities.)

As I wrote right around this time two years ago, if I was the personal physician to a murdering communist dictator and had a wife or family I wanted to protect, I’d probably say stuff like that, too.

(As to what Stalin was planning to do to his doctors, shortly before–mercifully for the world–dying, click here.)

Update: HehTM.
