“Hugo Chavez…

…may not be coming down for dinner.”

is one memorable delivery.

My guess, and I hope I’m wrong, is that it will be effusive and much more laudatory than, say, it would be if the decedent were David Cameron. (I won’t even guess as to how he’d react personally to Netanyahu’s demise.)

By the way, Hong, socialist medicine is actually of good quality–if you’re part of the nomenclatura or otherwise connected with the ruling class. It’s the medical care for the people that is lousy.

Will Sean Penn take a delegation of mourners to Venezuela, become overwrought, rip out his hair in anguish and then seek treatment for depression in Cuba? Can we expect a Hollywood spectacular based on the life of Hugo, with Johnny Deppor or maybe Iom Cruise playing the lead? Will Sarah Palin and Israel be held responsible?

And poor Barry, who will he tell his problems to with Hugo out of the scene and the Israelis tapping Abbas’ phones?

Michael Moore can’t be reached for comment.

From your lips to God’s ear…

As far as I can tell, blog posting is the one that set it off. While Gustavo Coronel sometimes publishes English language posts, this posting is in Spanish, like most of his postings.
