Would a 'get well soon' card accompanied by a can of Mr Sheen be an appropriate gift?

Don't be fooled, that is the result of the steroid treatment that his doctors are using to supercharge his immune system. The real problems comes when they have to turn the supercharger off.

I liked the 'runaway' horse quip. I think the stable door has been shut too late on the cancers however.

Is he playing with a toy car on his desk?

Chavez/CFK and the Suitcase Scandal

In 2009 a wealthy Venezuelan enlisted by the Chavez government to quell a political scandal involving a suitcase stuffed with cash was sentenced to 4 years in a US prison. Testimony in the two-month trial raised allegations that the suitcase was part of a larger gift of about $5 million from Chavez for the political campaign of CFK.
