#1 This guy appears to actually believe what he says. What a moron. Even Castro couldn't send Cuba's economy into the crapper this quickly.

#2 Sounds of giant toilet flushing Venezuela's economy.

A 4% increase in food prices in a single month? Good lord! Think about what food prices will be like this time next year down there. You won;t be able to haul enough cash to the market with an 18-wheel tractor-trailer rig.

And, ole' Hugo plans on devaluing his own currency!

Oh, My, God...words fail...

#4 About the best thing for Chavez right now is if Al-Q would carry through with the threat to attack the Venezuelan oil fields : he could then justify going after all his political opponents like Mugabe did, and exterminating them. He is going for a Kim Il Sung President - for life, and then hand off the country to his son or daughter.
