To Castro's Brother

American Voices • ISSUE 42•31 • Aug 2, 2006

Cuban leader Fidel Castro, 80, will for the first time temporarily hand over power to his brother, Raul, while he recovers from gastrointestinal surgery. What do you think?

  • “I'm used to the human rights violations, but I had hoped Castro was above nepotism.”

    Leah Davis –
    Telemarketer

  • “Funny how this 'surgery' happens to coincide with the finals of America's Got Talent. I'm just saying, keep an eye out for a 6'4" bearded man whose talent is smoking 8 cigars at the same time.”

    Matt Ruben –
    Image Consultant

  • “So I swam all the way over to America to avoid persecution just for the guy to die 16 years later? Nuts!”

    Julio Cruz –
