| Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez taunt US over 'big atomic bomb' |
| 2012-01-10 |
| Despite their geographical distance, the two countries have forged increasingly close ties, a lot of which is down to their shared anti-Americanism, although concrete projects have often lagged behind the rhetoric. "One of the targets that Yankee imperialism has in its sights is Iran, which is why we are showing our solidarity," Chavez said during a joint press conference. "That hill will open up and a big atomic bomb will come out," he said of a hill next to his Miraflores Palace. "When we meet, the devils go crazy," he said, mocking US warnings that Latin American nations should not help the Islamic Republic. Ahmadinejad concurred: "Despite those arrogant people who do not wish us to be together, we will unite forever," he said. The two men hugged, beamed, held hands and showered each other with praise. "President Chavez is the champion in the war on imperialism," Ahmadinejad said. |

| #6 Barbara, one of my brother's had a theory that BJ Honeycutt had no funny lines during the entire last two seasnons of MASH. With the way my kids use Netflix, it would probably be possible but extremely ill-advised to test his hypothesis. I submit that Chavez has not made a rational, coherent statement since the turn of the century. Maybe he thought Prince had insider knowledge and spend 1999 huffing, snorting and injecting enough sunshine to make him moronic for greater than a decade. Either that or he is brilliant in Spanish. |

| #2 Chavez spouts stupidity like dogs urinate - a little here a little there. He just doesn't run out of incoherent nonesense to spew. He must be related to the third judge on Dancing With the Stars, the judge that nobody understands. Either that or he is cribbing material off of Kucinich's Best Of Album. |
