Why do I have this big feeling that Chavez was sent already dead from Cuba back to Caracas?
Nobody was allowed to see him, there was this huge silence around his presence for the previous days before he was announced death?
Why is the brazilian government softly criticizing Chavez regime while they offer their sympathies to Venezuela? Do they know something other people don´t?

Poor Fidel is having flashbacks to the unexpected collapse of the Soviet Union.

And the tap being switched off.

Chavez dying was much more expected you silly old bugger.

Remeber what Mujica said about Dead Man Now Dead:

'Chavez is the most generous President ever'

Well he would be with other people's money and oil.

We are all Chavez: well almost, well almost nobody, well, nobody then!

What a bunch of deluded idiots these Chavez supporters are; don't worry Stevie, you ARE included, wherever you come from.
