Hugo Chavez will not be down for breakfast

[rhodesbe]

... he appeared on television almost daily, frequently speaking for hours and breaking into song or philosophical discourse..."

I watched a documentary on Netflix about Chavez's TV show. He was a daily show in Venezuela, where the state-run TV broadcasts what the gov't gives them. It was like a variety show, with Chavez singing, telling jokes, stories, and just saying random crap that popped into his head. It was unscripted, live TV.

One time, in 2007, he accidentally talked himself into a war with Colombia as a result of one of his televised rants. He misspoke some 'facts' about FARC, got a bunch of people on his side pissed off, and despite his military saying 'WTF?', it turned into an evening of war. The next day, he came to his senses, ordered an end to conflict, and declared victory on that day's TV show.

But we don't mind supporting them by buying their oil.

We just don't like him because he outed Bush's hurricane/weather control machine in Miami. Also the cancer laser deal that Bush/Clinton were aiming at him, good to see our tax dollars used on something that worked.

Next thing you know, this douchecanoe's face will be on t-shirts all over a college campus near you.

If we're really lucky, a plane full of Sean Penn and Danny Glover will go missing on the way to the funeral.

The White House should give the order to lower flags soon.
