Cuban Babalawos Offer Their Predictions For 2008. For The Love Of Yemaya, Just Tell Us When Castro Is Going To Bite It.
Santero priests in Cuba offered their predictions for 2008, staying clear of any mention of Castro or politics and focusing instead of boring-ass shit like the economy and the environment:
Santeria priests, known as babalawos, steered clear of politics in this year’s prophecies, instead warning about an environmental crisis, disease and crime.
They noted an improving economy and said they planned sacrifices to better the lives of the majority of Cubans.
Lame. What about Britney?
“The challenge at this historic moment is not a political challenge … It is not a social challenge, but the challenge of nature,” Victor Betancourt, a Havana priest, said at a news conference.
Eye roll. These babalawos are so full of boberia. No Castro? No Britney? And, seriously, no word on when this rash is going to go away? Jesus.

Did you even offer an ofrenda of rum, cigars, and/or money? Didn’t think so. Ogún’s no dummy — if he’s going to talk about Castro croaking, you had better make it worth his while.
