Venezuela Falling Behind

Christopher Frank writes "Seems Venezuela's lack of power has finally caught up with them! MSNBC has the story: 'If you thought Venezuela's political crisis seemed to be dragging for an impossibly long time -- you were right. In a bizarre mass-malfunction, Venezuela's clocks are ticking too slowly due to a power shortage weakening the electric current nationwide. By the end of each day, the sluggish time pieces still have another 150 seconds to tick before they catch up to midnight.'"

    Hey beavis. It's like funny and stuff when countries have wierd power problems and stuff after american corporate interests try and cripple their economies by instituting a lock-out, calling it a strike, and trying to overthrow their democratically elected president.

    Don't those stoopid assmunches know that they are supposed to have the business candidate swept into office by keeping the ethnic minorities out of the polls?

    Next post try using capital letters. And perhaps note that most of the population wants Chavez out and he is refusing to hold a referendum as required by the Constitution he himself wrote. He may have been elected but he's a dictator now.
