#1 I don't understand why Hugo makes such big deal out of people plotting coups. He did time in the slammer for doing it himself. In Venezuela, it's just part of the process.

#2 This is Cavez's way of dealing with mounting economic problems.

#3 Let's just have Chavez die and end the revolution. It's time for an "Allende moment" in Caracas.

#5 this will likely get ugly, quick. Hoogo has promised away much of the oil proceeds as proof of comradeship to his allies (Cuba, Bolivia, Kennedy Jr.), which was workable at best with $120+/bbl oil, especially since his oil is sludgey crap.

Now that the income stream is dropping like a brick, he's phucked in domestic economy, and can't deliver his foreign promises. Time for the bunker looms, hope he doesn't kill too many good Venezuelans before he gets the dirt nap

#6 What's up? Is the CIA trying to kill him? Again?
