   Has anyone in the justice department investigated CNN for putting the big X across GWB during a speech? Wasn’t it CNN that did that?

   God forbid that would inspire some graffiti-artist to run up to the Prez and spray-paint a huge capital letter on him.

   Hmmm…Do you think that bird on his shoulder can talk? Sorry Chavez said something again right? Or he said the samething over again? You know the second string dictators, are never as good as the first string, no matter how hard they try…oh well, Viva La Revolutionion!

   I’m starting to see lots of reports of true grass roots opposition to Chavez and his grab for power, including street protests by students. I’m wondering why we haven’t seen any liberals express their solidarity with the ‘people’ yet.

    What do you expect? Chavez invoked Che Guevara. Obviously he IS the people.

    sigh.

    Let’s not forget that Hugo Chavez’s ex-wife, Maria Isabel Rodriguez, opposes him. If I remember correctly, she was part of his government when he first took office. She now says that she regrets helping him. She also warns that human rights, such as the right to life (and I’m not talking about abortion), would be in jeopardy if he stays in power.

    Apology or not - I’m shocked and dismayed, DL!!! Or to quote the nubly-headed one himself, ” I resemble that remark!”

    Wonder if we’ll see Jimmy Carter, Nobel Laureate, issuing a statement expressing his continued support for his fellow moron. By the way, any word on if Jimmah will be again monitoring the election down there?

    My barber stocks a full gamut of educational periodicals. In the Sept. 07 edition of Playboy, (ahem!) an article briefly reminds that a union of Chavista politicos and Venezuelan police have been roaming the countrysides, confiscating private farms from “the rich” and burning down the sugarcane stocks…all in the name of Chavez’ socialized farm cooperative programs. (The poor Chavez supporters initially loved the schardenfreude, but even they are starting to wilt at the cruelty and the milk shortages.)

    The article reminded the reader of the last three, grand scale farm redistribution efforts (Russia-1929, China-1959 and Cuba-early 1970’s?) All results were disastrous - as in over 100 million humans starved to death.

    This Venezuelan situation is far more serious than the western media reports. Even scarier for me is the silence of our politicians, as they callously go about proposing the socialization and redistribution of the US medicine and energy industries…and the liberal dogs just lap it up.

    History repeating.

    I don’t think the people that might want Chavez in the past tense need CNN to spur them on. There are likely many miffed Venezuelans that are already thinking of a demise for their peerless leader.

    Hate to be a wet blanket here, but what makes anybody think that somebody who controls the state apparatus that will be conducting the election has any chance of losing? Even the Democrats in Washington State are smart enough to steal an election, even with opposition observers. Chavez’s thugs will make up any number they want and proclaim it “election results”.

    Chavez and his People’s revolution, he should remember he doesn’t have a monopoly on “revolutions” in this part of the World…it is sort of their thing! Let the counter revolution begin, somebody tell the bird, before anyone gets too crazy GRIN.

    I have noticed that Chavez is increasingly using ideas that “the prophet who shall not be named” used when writing his quidelines for his faithful followers, the Quran.

    His ideas are so special, anyone who dares to take a contrary view is deemed a traitor, or in the case of the US, formulating a plan to kill him. This meglomaniacal (a psychiatric disorder in which the patient experiences delusions of great power and importance) nut case is paranoid (obsessively anxious about something, or unreasonably suspicious of other people and their thoughts or motives) to boot…an extremely dangerous combination!

    But can he make the trains run on time? Then he will really be Il Duce, but seeing what he has done to screw-up oil production I have a feeling train wrecks will go up due to his proven leadership abilities.
