Clown show
It doesn't get worse than this:
Chavez gave a new vote of confidence to (c)astro's communist government Sunday, calling it a "revolutionary democracy" in which the Cuban people rule.
People "have asked me how I can support (f)idel if he's a dictator," (Chavez) said. "But Cuba doesn't have a dictatorship — it's a revolutionary democracy."
Television footage showed Chavez and (c)astro together in the streets of Pinar del Rio earlier in the day, standing on the back of a jeep wearing olive green military uniforms and saluting hundreds of shouting residents waving Cuban and Venezuelan flags.
The two thugs in Havana today are happy together, announcing their new love relationship on Chavez's special 'Alo Presidente' radio show, a broadcast that makes the average Venezuelan woof. Daniel Ortega and Schafik Handal, two Central American killers plotting their illegal comebacks were in the adoring audience clapping like idiots. And so was an Ecuadorean minister who's been in bed with this crowd for a long time as his country goes down the tubes.
America, these dirtbag comedians control one-sixth of your oil. Add Ecuador and it's a fifth.
Speaking of which, I need a stiff drink.
Boli-Nica has more of the gross-out here.
UPDATE: Our friend Isaac Schrodinger is appropriately disgusted here and our friend Chas has even more here.
Hat tip to our friend Harry Hutton for the icky open-with-caution 'Alo Presidente' link above.

What hair color product does Castro use? Lady Clairol?

A radio and TV show. Not only that, it is where the Bolivarian government plans and major announcements are made. It is said that all Chavez ministers are obliged to watch or listen to the show, as some of them learn from the program, how they're doing or if they're still holding the job or have been fired. No kidding.

I know that what I am going to mention here has nothing to do with the context of this post; but it makes me SICK to my gut to look at Castro's pictures and realize that he is looking very good and robust!! Honestly, he looks great for a man his age!! I guess my abuela was right when she said !!THE DEVIL ALWAYS LOOKS STRONG BECAUSE HE IS ENERGIZED WITH FIRE!! (bad translation)
!YA NO MAS!!

Quite right, Carmen. But three hot meals a day and a personal trainer, plus that dollar-store access to Miss Clairol does wonders for one's physique, doesn't it? The dictator looks that way because he eats all the food!
