Well, the Herald has acknowledged the rumors, but they're still just that -- rumors. Word from the island, per Stuck on the Palmetto, is that there's been no unusual movement of police or military in Cuba.

As for me, I'm already planning to be in Miami tomorrow for the Barack Obama event. If it's been confirmed by then that Castro's a dead man, I'll even get down into the madness on Calle Ocho. It's a once in a lifetime thing, and whenever I have the opportunity to be an active participant in history, I take it. I am, after all, a professional.

Coming tomorrow: A rare weekend edition blog post or two, covering the Obama event and the possible Castro Death Party.
