Fidel Castro resigns Cuban presidency...
Something I'm sure was visible to many from miles away, but despite that, it's still undoubtedly worth noting.
It's a preliminary article, sure, but all the nuts & bolts are there.
Link to article.

| HAVANA - Ailing leader Fidel Castro resigned as Cuba's president from nearly a half-century early Tuesday, saying in a letter published in online official media that he would not accept a new term when the newly elected parliament meets on Sunday. The new National Assembly is meeting for first time Sunday since January elections to pick the governing Council of State, including the presidency Castro holds. There had been wide speculation about whether he would accept a nomination for reelection to that post or retire. The 81-year-old Castro's overnight announcement effectively ends his rule of almost 50 years over Cuba, positioning his 76-year-old brother Raul for permanent succession to the presidency. |

Guess you didn't see that one coming, Alberto Falk!!
Werd.
I have to imagine this will amount to something of a slap in the face to the United States.
Despite numerous assassination attempts, Castro makes it to his 80's, and decides then to step down on his own terms.
yeah i read about this online @ work.
hillarious is that it was sent online....yet like, what 5% of cubans have internet? lol. on CNN this morning they were tlaking about how more people outside of Cuba knew about it more than Cubans did.
oh, and his brother's name is Raul who is taking over. and he's not really that much different than Fidel. so yeah.

Raul is actually WORSE!! concessions that fidel had loosened up on, his brother clamped down on. hes ruling like fidel did 20 years ago.
ohh boy! democracy has brought such great things and wealth to all other countries in the gulf of mexico region. i can't wait to see what happen to cuba and its economy once capitalism gets there.
You mean he's STILL alive?
