#3 Hmmmm, Mike, it's like sayin' that Papa Jo Visarionovich Stalin had a messianic complex.

It is all about power. If it is a complex, it is an extreme version of "one-animal-is-more-equal-then-others".

#4 Looks like Hugo will have an Atlas Shrugged moment in his future and will be absolutely clueless as to why everything quit working.

#5 Opponents of Mr Chavez complain that his constant railing against American-promoted consumerism contrasts with the behaviour of senior government officials who can be seen at fancy restaurants or riding around in expensive cars.

Sounds like Massachusetts...

#6 Dear Presidente Chavez,

I am Miriam Abacha, the widow of the recently deceased president of Nigeria. I must confess I am a long time admirer from afar who has become overwhelmed with emotion and the spirit of charity after hearing your speech. I would like to donate the sum of $5 million ($5,000,000) USD of my former husband's egg money to your wonderful cause. Please provide your personal bank account information and I will transfer the said monies posthaste.

Your admirer and supporter,
Miriam Abacha
