Venezuela is blaming the US for giving Chavez cancer but we probably supplied the chemo drugs too. Either way, we might be responsible. We were responsible for Arafat's death too. I doubt we'll be responsible for Castro's death though despite numerous attempts.

Yeah it will be interesting, constitutionally there is supposed to be an election within the next 30 days and early reports indicate that Chavez's VP is going to run and will likely win in a match-up against the same candidate who previously lost to Hugo.

There were aspects early on in Chavez's tenure as president of Venezuela that had some good ideas tied in, but as he descended into authoritarianism more and more over time he proved himself to not be a friend of progressives or liberals.

Ignorance is those who disparage believers....12 They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD—the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
We should explain to people why. Joe Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy, runs Citizens Energy, which provides lost cost oil to the poor. It's a non-profit, and Joe is so nice to take a salary of only $600,000.
Joe gets his oil from Chaves and in his ads he always thanks Chavez.

Shhhhhh. Nobody wants to know that. The Kennedys must keep up the disguise of caring about the people...

As opposed to all the other low paid guys giving low cost oil to the poor?

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - Kung fu Monkey
