any other descriptors come to mind?
Congratulations to Chairman Maduro on making the leap from bus driver to loony despot. Anyway, I think I prefer the Google translation, “The Ministry of Ultimate Bliss”.

Oct 25th, 2013 - 03:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Congratulations to the MAD urinator. First there was a little bird. Then there's the innumerable assassination “plots”. Now there's “supreme happiness”. Meanwhile, Venezuela imports “oil” products. No trouble with the lack of bog paper. You don't need bog paper if you aren't eating. And just look, “Comrade Rafael Rios”. And check the intentions. Doesn't commie China, commie North Korea, commie Cuba have the same aspirations? Couldn't someone with intelligence trot along and shoot the wanker?

Mandatory goose step classes will surely follow once everyone is aware that they are supremely happy and merely needed a subtle reminder from the central committee.

Mad as a box of frogs.
Oct 25th, 2013 - 06:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is a really lovely pic of our Royal Family on the BA Herald website with the new king. And then you see a picture here what the Venezuelan's have to admire. No wonder they are up the creek.

Krusty the clown has just been announced grand wizard for giggles and supreme happiness by the dear father Maduro and his imaginary god like pet bird “chubby”.

For those who have read Orwells novel Winston exclaimed to his lover Julia, an ardent member of the Antisex League “you are only a rebel below the belt”
So female circumcision the next step in what that little bird told Maduro?
Suggestions for a new name for his identical palace.

The, “Mad house” is disqualified on the grounds it is to obvious.
I think he might have succeeded in his purpose because I am p!ssing myself laughing here.
Oct 26th, 2013 - 12:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perpetual Commandant?! Supreme Happiness Under Secretary? All delivered wearing a nuclear vomit coloured shell suite?
Love those tweeds.
I think MercoPress's Art Director has an excellent sense of humour.

Oct 26th, 2013 - 06:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps Doddy should be made Venezuelan Minister of Happiness...
And the Diddymen could help the Venezuelans produce more toilet rolls...
@16 I completely agree. The photo editor never fails to make me laugh.

Oct 27th, 2013 - 02:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'd rather live in Knotty Ash than in a country controlled by this idiot of a man. What in the name of Zarquon is going on? How can this guy be a president.. or is this insanity a pre-requisite for Venezuelan leaders.
@19 I concur with you thoughts entirely.
