Some Ask Otherworldly Aid For Cuba
Author: Ere Figueras Negrete Source: Bradenton Heald (FL)
Title: SOME ASK OTHERWORLDLY AID FOR CUBA
From botanicas to churches to rap music airwaves, many South Floridians expressed their hopes that Fidel Castro's regime was headed for its last days.
In their haste to see el jefe pass on to the great beyond, some Cubans were banking on otherwordly assistance.
''Fidel, para el c-----!'' shouted 61-year-old Zoila Morales, raising her voice above the din of clucking poultry at the Riviera Botanica at 1750 Northwest 17th Ave.
Loosely translated: Fidel, go to hell.
Promising to do her brujería -- or witchcraft -- Morales plunked down a $100 bill in exchange for a half-dozen roosters and chickens tucked neatly in individual, ventilated paper bags.

No wonder. Fidel Castro is one man who stubbornly hopes to live and govern forever- one way or another as he tries to keep his hold over an island now seeking change, but being thwarted thus far by his regime.
One day perhaps, he will go the way of dust. Whether his brother has the strength to hold back the changes only time will tell, but he has already had a taste of power. I fear the island will have to wait yet awhile before they can declare their government at an end.
