I don't know what to make of this... I mean, I gotta tell you that I've had a great time following 'ole Hugos' last several years... There's something about a guy that takes such gleeful pleasure at sticking it to Herr Bush... I must say, that resonates with Sal.....Granted, the latest hints that Hugo wanted to be allowed to stifle the press and issue arrests without warrant were troubling.... Hell, sounds like he'd fallen off the modern socialist cart and been picked up by Georgie-Boy and Dick Cheney.... Reports attribute his sudden decline in popularity to the concerted efforts by the college age set to unseat him, and yep, that they have done.... Maybe if'n we get a Dem Pres next election, we can cut a deal with the new Venezuelan leaders on some cheap oil imports....

He went from socialist jerk to tinpot dictator. I too like the way he put the thumb in the eye of the chimp in chief but Hugo is no bargain. He's as bad in many ways as our dictator. He was trying to become ruler for life and it didn't work. I'm glad the vote went that way.
