#3 And another Lefty Socialist demands for Dubya and America to attack and invade his nation, aka VOTE HILLARY IN '08!? Time for MARIAH CAREY to hit them high notes, AGAIN, at Penn State.

#5 Is he planning on the genocide of the 21st century and the tyranny of the 21st century, too? Because that's all ''socialism'' ever gives anyone.

#6 BTW, is he refering to Phrench style socialism or National Socialism. The first is inefficiant and deadly, the latter is efficiant and deadly.

#7 Should we go ahead and mourn the deaths of millions of Venezuelans? Or is that jumping the gun a bit?

#8 Or is that jumping the gun a bit?

Well, it wouldn't hurt to at least pick out the cards of condolence.

#9 Now it's official. Chavez wants to take Venezuela to hell because he doesn't recall the brutal lessons of modern history all too well. Poor buggers. See you folks in 50 years and a few hundred thousand ruined lives later. Maybe it can all be blamed on the gringo at that point too! Hey it's the 21st century and time to try and prove the square wheel is the future of transportation.

#12 So where's Little Caracas gonna be, New Orleans or Miami?

#13 Miami - it should be a ghost town after El Barbudo dies.

#14 Miami. They're congregating there already.

#15 The strange thing is he may have the resources to keep it going. Venezuela is an oil-state with huge reserves and development potential; that means they have a huge buffer vs the consequences of economic irrationality. Consider the case of Saudi Arabia. Imagine if North Korea had oil in similarly large quantities.

And he is going to subsidize Cuba as well; in fact I hear he is going to buy the place.
