Chavez a big boy, he can handle it.

[GeronL]

less than half as powerful as the one in Haiti

[mbarker12474]

Now Pat Robertson can say all he wants.....

[Westbrook]

Remember, the Richter scale is exponential.

A mag 7 quake, like the one that hit Haiti, is TEN TIMES greater than a mag 6 quake, like the one that just hit Venezuela.

Nevertheless, we need to wait and see what happened on the ground.

Danny Glover just said, “I told ya’ll so!”

[GonzoGOP]

Well Hugo almost had the political corruption and economy to the same level as Haiti so he needed an earthquake in order to keep up.

[LottieDah]

Sean Penn, Danny Glover and Cindy Sheehan are probably apoplectic waiting to hear if Chavez is okay.

[coaltrain]

I have a call into Ace Seismologist, Danny Glover, to find out what caused this earthquake. I will provide an update as soon as I hear back from him.

[paulycy]

Now Pat Robertson can say all he wants.....

San Francisco (Eureka), Haiti, Venezuela... all socilist havens.

Maybe we were wrong about ol' Pat...

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Might be the end of Hugo if he botches the rescue and relief efforts.

[Lou Budvis]

May the only destruction be the collapse of the Presidential Palace and only 1 casualty.

[library user]

less than half as powerful as the one in Haiti

So you're saying the Haiti quake was 11.4?

[beaversmom]

Global warming and Bush. That’s what Chavez gets for calling Bushie the devil.

[misharu]

NO AID! Not to that dipshti Chavez.

[Red Badger]

I think Pat Robertson may have something there after all............

[SE Mom]

Some of the aftershocks in Haiti were of the same strength.

[thinking]

I was looking at the maps of earthquakes, and Haiti continues to be hit....it is possible the capital, and harbor could disappear....

[marvlus]

This could be a devastation for all those shanty homes on sides of the hill in Caracus.

[rhombus]

Let them get aid(s) from Iran. ;-)
