Fidel Castro has "resigned" as the ruler of Cuba, but he hasn't been seen in public for 19 months, so don't believe anything you read in the mainstream media until brave Perez Hilton explains to you how this means Castro is even more dead. (In the attached picture, Castro is shown holding a book published about a month after Perez's groundbreaking scoop that he was dead, click through for a larger picture.) UPDATE: At 6:30 AM, Perez confirmed that "Castro Steps Down!!!!!!!" Approximately 10 seconds later, his site receives the first in a long, ongoing series of comments along the lines of this one, number 42: "How can he step down if he's dead???? Perez what's going on?? Please bring us op to date!!"
