Daily "Weekend at Fidel's"

Here's some more wackiness from the Kooky Kommie Isle. While I don't see any obvious signs of photoshopping, the pictures by themselves are worth their weight in gold!

A tender moment, which would've been so appropriately MOAB'ed.

Castro appeared more vigorous on Sunday in the first images of the Cuban leader to be broadcast on state television in four months, backing up reports that he has put his health crisis behind him.

More kooky fun can be found following the break, and more Cuban speculation can be found over at La Contra Revolucíon.
Notice that there are plenty of duplicates here, due to the fact that each wire service picked up a photograph handed out by one of the Cuban government's propaganda arms, and then post-corrected it individually.

*I liked this photo, because after so many surgeries on his lower gastrointestinal tract, Fidel is guaranteed to have a colostomy bag under that Adidas tracksuit. I'm sure Vietnam's head honcho could smell the love.
