Chavez, despite record oil revenues, is presiding over the Cubanization of Venezuela. Video uses simple before (1998) and after (2005) images. See Hugo's "Beautiful Revolution". |

A while back, while in Costa Rica, the students were protesting their government. Upon further review, I was informed a major telecommunicatins company had recently completed the infrastructure upgrade for the country, and the government had decided, in a Chavez-like way, to nationalize the telecommunications and kick the company out.
A year passed, the infrastructure was failing due to neglect, and the Costa Rican government asked the company to come back and “fix it”. The company raised a middle finger to Costa Rica. Needless to say, the officials making the stupid decision were bounced. Unfortunately the backlash continues and the country is is slowly but surely slipping back to 3rd world communications capability.
I’m going to enjoy watching this egomaniac do his own country. Realize the leftist leaders always have an ego problem. Hugo’s is the 800-pound gorilla in the corner, er, or is that Hugo himself?
