Anyone who works at the State Deparment want to confirm the anonymous rumor we just heard that everyone's freaking the fuck out re. the unverified death of Fidel Castro?

To be more specific -- we hear OAS heard rumors of said death and is, as of right now, unable to verify Castro's whereabouts or hold on this mortal coil.

Update:Jonah Goldberg seems to think so, which makes us doubt it somehow.

(The rumor seems to have started on Wall Street, and the State Department's taking it seriously.)
