Another dictator dead. Good riddance.



If he had been a right-wing dictator, I'm sure the Bush Administration

would have supported him.





He stood for everything you believe in, Krause, except for not paying taxes.

I just saw that commercial from CITGO? and One of the Kennedys saying that Chavez had supplied numerous poor Americans with furnace oil.

has a pretty sordid record in supporting right-wing dictators, and that
support usually ended badly for us.
