Breaking: Hugo Chavez is dead.

[Billy Burnett]

In Cuba. Commies are trying to cover it up while they're scrambling to figure out what to do.

Heard some yammering on Mambi tonight while driving. Confirmation to be announced later. :eyes:

Oh ... and Castro too.

1. Wow! Dead, like Fidel Castro. I'll bet those commies are bouncing off the walls,

scared to death all the gusanos from Miami are going to leap onto their flotillas, and re-infest Cuba.

There'll be double trouble now that Hugo Chavez is gone, too. The Venezuelan gusanos will return to Caracas.

Radio Mambi was the newsbreaker source? Spectacular, as always.

President Chavez, we hardly knew ye. In fact, it seemed the right-wing lunatics knew ye more than we did. They always called you by your first name.

3. I disagree with your analysis, Judi.

Staged to appear as "post-surgical complications", Hugo was likely assassinated by the Cuban government in order to destabilize Venezuela as a prelude to invasion.

Cuba's designs on communist hegemony in the Southern Hemisphere are a matter of record. Here, it's obvious they used the gullible Chavez to "soften-up" their prey. Now that he's no longer needed, and would likely chafe (just a bit) at foreign intervention, he meets unfortunate demise. As flamingdem says in a post below, "ay dios!"

Further, the US will see this provocative action as a threat to Columbia, and a challenge--not seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis--to it's efforts to expand sweatshopcracy in the region.

The match (pause for dramatic effect) has been lit.


And as for you Mr. Burnett... :spank:

:D
