Just got an update form the VP to my phone saying the VP of Venezuela has announced that Hugo Chavez has died.
Articles and link to come soon.
RIP Hugo Chavez. You were a great president and a great leader of Venezuela and did many great things for your country.
I eagerly await the dramatic pictures of Venezuelan women crushed by grief.

Wasn't the Venezuelan media pushing propaganda that Chavez was fine?
I wonder if the cancer did him in.

"Support"? Is one giving "support" to a country when they still hold diplomatic and economic ties with each-other?Well, at least we no longer hear of him running to Support Iran.
I wonder if the Obamas will attend the funeral.
:lamohopefully the Venezuelans will now be able to elect someone sane to office, who won't spend the next decade systematically raping their economy and political system in the name of poorly thought out Leftist sloganeering and anti-American rabble rousing.

Good riddance to bad garbage. With the Chavez cult of personality out of the way, hopefully the Venezuelans will now be able to elect someone sane to office, who won't spend the next decade systematically raping their economy and political system in the name of poorly thought out Leftist sloganeering and anti-American rabble rousing.
Then again, this is Latin America we're talking about here, so it's probably not a good idea to get my hopes up. :lol:
Yeah in this case.....it didn't take long to see much hasn't improved here with us. Evidenced.....
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's vice president called in the nation's top leaders Tuesday hours after ailing President Hugo Chavez apparently took a turn for the worse, and announced on national television that a U.S. Embassy attache was being expelled for meeting with military officers and planning to destabilize the country.
Foreign Minister Elias Jaua also announced the expulsion of a second U.S. official, also a U.S. Air Force attache.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro told Venezuela's high military command and civilian leaders that the U.S. Embassy's Air Force attache, Col. David Delmonaco, had 24 hours to leave the country. He said the official had been spying on Venezuela's military.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Greg Adams confirmed Delmonaco's identity but had no immediate comment.
In Washington, Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, a Pentagon spokesman, said, "We are aware of the allegations made by Venezuelan Vice President Maduro over state-run television in Caracas, and can confirm that our Air Attache ... is en route back to the United States.".....snip~
Venezuela expels 2 US officials as Chavez worsens - Yahoo! News
It appears their VP is accusing one of our Air Force Attache of Spying. We didn't take long to get him out of there either.
