Just like in the former Soviet Union where food shortages were blamed on 60 years of bad weather some are blaming an El Nino drought. Credit to AFP for at least mentioning the real reason.

Chavez rigged the elections with Jimmy Carter’s help.

Not to worry.

Soon a program to “save or create” millions of gallons of water will be started.

Most likely counter-revolutionary “wreckers” are taking too many long showers and brushing their teeth too long. Hugo needs to start arbitrarily arresting random people on the street who are suspiciously clean and string ‘em up on the spot! Bet plenty of water would suddenly be available then, huh?

Ah, the glories of socialism.

I was just translating a document from VZ the other day in which they went on about the glories of taxation...yes, that’s right. They described it as the “primary economic engine of the State.” How, pray tell, can taxation be an
“economic engine?” The effect, of course, is that manufacturers and producers who haven’t been nationalized are fleeing, and their infrastructure is breaking down.

Coming soon to a country near you.

We will not get rid of most of the Commies in the Americas until someone, Mother Nature or a mere mortal, takes out the Castro's and Cuba is again FREE!

That old bastard still holds the keys. When we get the keys and expose what HE DID to a great island and a nice people NO ONE will be able to use his lies as political food to feed to the ignorant and stupid!

Yes, taxes are the “economic engine” of the state, in the way that blood is the engine of the vampire.

What a classic. It’s all because of “the rich” and their swimming pools, and then greedy unfeeling people taking too long of showers and letting the water run while brushing their teeth.

It’s really pretty funny.
