Dictator love-shack roundup
Did those tender-moment castro and chavez pictures make you sufficiently sick? There've been a lot of good souls around the blogosphere who feel the same way and I have had fun reading them.
Here is a short roundup to assure you that when you look at those love-shack pics from the two dictators and feel queasy, you are not alone:
Alek Boyd at VCrisis has a knockout reaction of pure disgust upon looking at the putrid photos, it can be read here.
The bloggers at The Real Cuba have several dazzling items,and my favorite (scroll down when you click) is the item called 'Honestly I have never seen anything like this before' discussing the sheer weirdness of this last encounter between the two brutal tyrants, and all the phony elements, like castro not having an IV drip as he should. The blog also has got compare-and-contrast photos of castro's medical care, compared to ordinary Cubans' and an item on raul castro's fetid pig humor that's worth a trip for that piece alone.
Fausta at Fausta's blog has a valuable translated collection of all the sweet nothings to two dictators said to each other in this post here.
Miguel at Devil's Excrement of course can't stand it, and he has photos of chavez's campaign phony shenanigans designed to make himself look more popular than he is, same as his castro photoshopping, in this post here.
Our own new Babalu blogger, Daniel at Venezuela News & Views points out that the whole thing was a royal succession or mafia-don ceremony, something intented to preserve the gangster family. It's well worth a look here.

V the K has some funny captions, as do his readers (he's the master though).
