Hugo Chavez Phone Call Allowed Colombians to Locate FARC Camp (Translation)

Well I wasn’t taking about taking Chavez. I meant the CIA grab of a pair of drug dealers in Venezuela about that time. I think we could get a good midnight raid on the camp and pick up the 70 year old FARC head and leave Chavez crying in his soup.

But I would be more than happy to see us bust a full scale move on Chavez (although I think his people may be getting ready to dump his idiotic ***).

Right, I think we're on the same page there. My point was, with Chavez muscling up to protect FARC, it might be a little crunchier this time. Might have to do it by a bright orange glare, if you know what I mean.

Hate to hurt all those nice, professional Venezuelan military people just to grab a couple of scumbags, so maybe you're right -- wait a bit and see if Chavez gradually wears out his welcome. Although it took 20 years and a world war for the Italians to get tired enough of Mussolini to turn him upside down with his girlfriend.

Yea... Saw pictures of that this weekend but didn't catch the byline. Was this the anniversary of his most ignominious passage.

BTW - Even dead and upside down it was apparent what an attractive woman she must have been. I take it that they must have put most of their vehement flogging of the dead energy into jellyfying Mr. Mussolini.

I once read a memoir, or a selection from a memoir, by a former fascist staff officer who'd secretaried for Mussolini in the 30's. (In Europe, secretarying wasn't feminized as fast as it was in America. You can still find fully mature men waiting table there, too, you'll have noticed if you've been over there.)

This former private secretary in a black uniform recollected that Mussolini would receive eight or ten (or more) lady visitors who always said the same thing, viz., that they needed to see the Duce about an urgent matter that they couldn't discuss freely. Which meant they were drawn like moths to the flame of power, as Henry Kissinger once remarked. The secretary would excuse himself, go tell the Duce, and he would order the woman to be admitted, after which he would roger her royally -- the purpose of her visit -- and politely see her out a side door. He knocked off at least ten women a day like this -- even nuns -- proving the scientific observations about alpha males' sexual appetites to be correct for Homo sapiens sapiens hastatus rogerissimus as well.

By now at least 5% of the population of Rome is related to Alessandra Mussolini in some degree.

Oops, just did some back-of-the envelope math and came up with a much bigger number, approximating 100% of the city population, given that Mussolini was in office 20 years, had 10 women a day, 1/3 of whom will have, shall we say, borne fruit. By now those children's grandchildren are in the middle of their productive years, and there are just a whole hell of a lot of little Mussolinis running around.

I got 1.1 million. See what you get.

Oh, she was just the regular girlfriend.

No doubt she was a looker. Mussolini got plenty of looks.

Must have been the uniform. And the strutting. Strutting and plumage and pulling up trees will do it for you every time, I've heard.
