If I had cancer, and I made that speech in front my family, they'd slap me round the back of my head for milking it too far and most likely walk out. I wish cancer on no-one, but having a disease doesn't mean you're any more or less of a dick.

As I have predicted previously, Chavez has at most 8 months left and counting down.

I reiterate, he should resign and spend what time he has left with his family.

Maybe he's seen the light.

“Give me your crown, Jesus. Give me your cross, your thorns so that I may bleed. But give me life, because I have more to do for this country and these people. Do not take me yet,” Chavez added, standing below an image of Jesus with the Crucifix.“

Can't speak for God or Jesus, but I wonder how the people of Venezuela feel about him ”doing more” for them? Does they reckon that having one of the highest inflation rates in the world is good? How do they feel about their level of (costly) imports of clothing, cars, electronics, food?

Perhaps he promised God that he'd stop being such an arse in return for a more years.

It reminds me of the same shameless behaviour CFK engages in dressing in black for god knows how long to continues to garner sympathy.

Both behaviours are equally pathetic and manipulative of those stupid enough to fall for them.

Get a grip Hugo, there are no gods, no tooth fairy, no Santa Claus, no Leprechauns, no Wicked Witch of the West, no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. These are all man made concepts. Take your head out of your a**, forget what your parents brought you up to believe and start thinking for yourself, you'll truly appreciate how lucky you are to be here in the first place. This life is the only life you will ever have so get on board now and live this life to the fullest albeit a shorter one than you had planned.

The Chilean perspective
Like the Americans say, “There's no atheists in fox holes” or cancer wards for that matter. Get well nut case and retire to enjoy the rest of your life.

@6 & 7 But we do have “the Black Widow”! In the natural world, this is down to the indisputable fact of the female black widow spider consuming the male after sexual congress. And CFK is different....how? Last bit of information I came across indicated that her “personal fortune” has increased by something like $12 million between 2003 and her asset declaration of 2010. Why does she need on the order of $15 million? Does it include her “bequests” from Nestor? I also read a report some time ago that suggested that whenever she goes abroad she looks around for a suitable palace for her retirement. Does she get her rocks off by “consuming” other people's money?

@9 Your links are quite interesting. How many times have you posted them now? Is your record stuck?
