    There’s so much BS and baloney thrown around about Venezuela that I may be violating some rule of U.S. journalism by providing some facts. Let’s begin with this: 77 percent of Venezuela’s farmland is owned by 3 percent of the population, the ‘hacendados.’
    I met one of these farmlords in Caracas at an anti-Chavez protest march. Oddest demonstration I’ve ever seen: frosted blondes in high heels clutching designer bags, screeching, “Chavez - (…)

    Sometimes it’s just hard to go against a guy when you know in your heart that he ain’t as bad as they say he is. So what should you have to say about Mr. Hugo Chavez: (…)
