  Afro-Cuban priests prescribe Santeria for Chavez

  Yes. That's the solution. Get the santeros to work up some of their demonic magic for the dying man.

• Ai Weiwei: Having fun at the expense of thin-skinned Communists

  As someone who deals with communists on a daily basis here at Babalú, I can attest to the fact that they lack any sense of humor and despise being made fun of. They are no different from their kissing cousins, the American left, who are equally thin skinned and bereft [...]

  Jose R. Cardenas in Foreign Policy:
