Miami to celebrate Castro's death

From the WTF files:

MSNBC reports that the city of Miami has appointed a commission to plan a party in the event of the death of Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Exerpt:
MIAMI - With Fidel Castro seriously ill, the city of Miami is making plans to throw a party at a local football stadium when the Cuban president dies, complete with themed T-shirts.

The city commission earlier this month appointed a committee — whose official job is to "Discuss an event at the Orange Bowl in case expected events occur in Cuba" — to plan the party. Such a gathering has long been part of the city's Castro death plan, but the specifics have become more urgent since Castro became ill last summer and turned over power to his brother, Raul.
Regardless of how one feels about the reign of Castro, is it appropriate to celebrate his death? We think not.
