Smoke signals
Ay, mami, mira, soltaron el humo negro! Black smoke. Papam non habemus. No pope yet.
Look at it as good news. At least we know that the following two potential candidates have not been elected: Cardinal Bertone and Cardinal Ortega, Castronoids to the core.
But it is disturbing to know that they have a vote, and -- ostensibly -- a chance of being elected. Remote, but still a chance.
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Vatican Secretary of State, Castro-lover extraordinaire
Oye pero la verdad que aqui en Babalu se aprenden cosas!..I didn't know anything about the smoke signals thing?!
When the white smoke billows, a cardinal appears and announces, in Latin, habemus papam! -- We have a pope!
... and in Cuba they can always say, no matter what color the smoke: Papas aqui no tenemos, ni con la libreta.... Papam non habemus....
Another general de sotana is Monsignor Carlos Manuel de Cespedes.
In contrast, Father Miguel Angel Loredo sent ten years in Castro prisons, where he was tortured and humiliated

Cespedes is by all accounts a MAJOR queen, who apparently holds a torch for Che.
Wait, did Bertone get that outfit from Victoria's Secret?
Love the hand-on-the-chin bit. Reminds me of Lana Turner.
