#2 Bobo cries; I'll grab your company. Give it to me!

And the world watches as this real time display, repeats every red hand method and practice, on que, without fail......bobo wants it, needs tanks and a heavy industry for bunkers...needs a law against free speech, needs all oil revenue to fund his swiss bank accunts, and so on and so on...Bobo is makeing his move to sit a top the International as titular head, replacing the now dead sadddam.

#3 I wonder what such a law will do to the domestic steel price. Sidor might want to cash out and hit the bricks anyway if they are condemned to losing money for the next 30 years.

#4 Take heart, comrade lenin was right: First time (soviet union, red china) was tragedy, second time (chavez, morales) is farce...

#5 It is interesting to see how one man can completely take apart an entire country and grind it into the ground.

#6 Don't kid yourself. Chavez is not acting alone. Lots (not all, lots) of Venezuelans are right behind him and they will only slowly fall away as the consequences of the decisions they have made become blindingly apparent. But by then it will be too late. These countries are like college kids who go binge drinking. Nothing different will happen but there's nothing you can do to stop it. I just hope that some day the Latin Americans will grow up and quit the binging.

#7 That reminds me that one day Churchill coincided in the toilets with the leader of labour party and posititioned as far as possible of him.

-Are you angry with me, why are you so distant Winston?

-Because every time you see something big you try to nationalize it.

#11 I think I speak for social scientists around the world when I say, "Thanks for giving the world another controlled experiment to see the effects of socialism."

#12 We've finally found a national leader Lou Dobbs can support. While embecilic, it's consistent with the socialism denial rampant at the CNN. Imagine how happy we'd all be if only we could get China and Japan to follow this idiot's lead?

#14 Life imitates art. It's amazing to watch Chavez use Atlas Shrugged as a play book.
