Snapped Shot

No sign of our dancing duet yet. It seems that Chavez is stuck playing second fiddle at the moment.




¿Cómo interesando, no?

Hugo Chavez sure seems to enjoy slinging these letters around. It sure doesn't seem to be a good way of dispelling the notion that he's a Cuban Communist Stoolie, though...

One step at a time!

And, of course, who would forget the newest megalomaniac People's Representative to come to power in South America, who is clearly in agreement with the press as to who the world's biggest dictators are:


Clearly, Hugo seems to share a few speechwriters with the Democratic National Committee... It is interesting to note that during Hugo's recent photo op with Fidel, we didn't see any pictures come across the news wire of him actually arriving in Cuba, which is usually a staple of dictatorial travel. Could there really be something to the notion that the photos and video they showed are rebroadcasts of last year's get-together? Stranger things have happened, that's for sure...

One way or another, Fidel's toast. No doubt about it!

Well looky here! Apparently, after recognizing that the world wasn't accepting Chavez's recent grandstanding as proof that Fidel was alive, the two Dictators are again dancing for the cameras. The fact that these guys have to continually "prove" that Fidel is still alive is proof enough to me that, without the "cult of personality," their ideas are totally bankrupt.

It's a funny thing. Every single time there's a rumour of Fidel Castro's death floating around on the internet, there follows literally a few days later a flurry of photographs "proving" that Fidel is still alive. If that's not enough of a testament to the iron grip required to operate a Dictator-ocracy, I don't know what is. But in my search for a good article to link, I did run across another blog well worth reading, considering my favourite hobby horse, so at least I've got that.
