Courtesy of the inimitable Matt Drudge, we have learned that Fidel Castro, leader of the glorious Socialist Revolution in Cuba, may live to be 140 years old!

To which our Lefties on the Left coast can say: AWESOME, DUDE!

I can't tell you how much that assures right-wing nut jobs like me. Finally, I'm confident I'll have someone to hate for the rest of my life. Or, to put it in the context of a Tolkien imperialist-inspired Manichean fantasy:

Fidel lives!

While Francisco Franco is still dead, Castro is still alive. Imagine the glory that redounds to him with each passing glorious moment. Why, look at his health!

Castro led the march past the US diplomatic mission in Havana to protest US policy against the island's communist government for about 800 metres, walking slowly and with some difficulty.

Now, boys and girls, put on your thinking caps. We're going to translate that distance into the antiquated and irrational English system of measurement: that's right, Castro walked 2,400 feet, a little over half a mile.

What prowess! Such stamina! Viva la revolucion! Viva Fidel!

We all know how the practice of medicine is so superior in Cuba. So what does Fidel's doctor have to say?

But Mr Castro is healthy enough to live at least 140 years, said Mr Selman, who heads a "120-years Club" that promotes wholesome habits for the elderly.

"I am not exaggerating," said Mr Selman, who believes people are capable of living five times the number of years it takes for the human body to fully grow - which he said is around 25 years.

Just imagine, that means that the Cuban revolution can live five times the number of years that it takes for it to become fully grown. Thing is, the revolution never grew up.

Must mean Castro is to stay put forever.

Oh glorious Cuban revolution. Glorious Fidel. Oh Redeemer without a God because he is God Himself! Glorious cult of the will to murder!
