In the interests of common decency, I won't say everything one is tempted to say. But I can offer my congratulations & best wishes to a staggering number of imprisoned, persecuted, and endangered people whose lives have some chance of taking a serious upturn because of this news. May your futures bring better things, God willing.

Good post, Le Cracquere; and may your expressed wishes come to fruition.

All though he was a self-promoting, Castro Loving blowhard (who most likely got Langley's version of the Litvinenko treatment) I will still commend him for having the cajones to stand up to the Greatest Power on Earth and for the sovereignty of Venezuela. In that respect and the respect that is due the dead in general regardless of political differences Vechnaya Pamyat Senor Chavez.

Dmitry: sorry, he was a worthless, cajoneless scumbag. I grant him no kudos. He was my Blood Enemy. May he rot in oblivion.

Why do I have visions of a little girl named Dorothy and her companions dancing and singing a very catchy tune?

The POS is probably having a "warm" conversation with Saddam, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and a few other roastees.

He was a typical populist caudillo in the South American tradition and he had a net worth of 1 Billion dollars at the time of his death.

The Castro's have done at least as well.
