People holding flags walk past a mural depicting Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez during a workers parade in Caracas, May 1, 2008. Chavez pumped up the minimum wage by 30 percent on Wednesday and said putting cash in workers' pockets came before his battle with Latin America's highest inflation rate.

I am in complete shock that the earth above Simon Bolivar's grave has not caught fire from him spinning in it at 100,000 rpm.

The invoking Simon Bolivar's name by that wasted piece of human excrement Chavez is enough to justify his being placed on ice.

What a genius. Raise the minimum wage because inflation is so high people can’t afford anything. Of course that will force the producers to raise prices to keep up with their now higher labor costs, meaning even more inflation!

Lather, rinse, repeat.

OMG! He may be crazy but he IS stupid.

They don't call him El Loco for nothin', but they should add El Estupido.
