Plumber’s Caracas
Give Kevin Spacey a little credit. Maybe he was recruiting Rosie O’Chávez to play Skipper opposite his “Little Buddy” in the upcoming picture, “Gilligan’s Girls Gone Wild” (with Scarlett Johansson as Ginger and Jessica Alba as Mary Ann).
Actor Kevin Spacey met privately Monday with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, one of Washington’s most outspoken critics in Latin America.
Neither Spacey…nor Chavez spoke to the press after the nearly three-hour encounter in the presidential palace in Caracas. They shook hands warmly on the red carpet as Spacey left after a dinner with Chavez.
Chávez must have rushed through the salad course to squeeze the whole thing in. As the Gilligan theme used to go, “…a three-hour pig-out…”.
Anyhow, Rosie sounds like he got a little mad cow in his last batch of meatloaf:
President Hugo Chavez postponed a plan to put Venezuela’s clocks back half an hour on Monday after his attempt to rush through the change in record time caused widespread confusion.
Chavez had said the shift would allow children to wake up for school in daylight instead of before sunrise, but acknowledged that some people might claim he was crazy.
…
No major publicity campaign was launched to explain the measure and many Venezuelans had no idea what they were supposed to do.
Ustedes could start by kicking his fat ass out of office. The bastard’s delusional:
“Castro has a little problem, but he can live another 100 years with this little problem,” Chavez was quoted as saying by Venezuela’s Bolivarian News Agency.
You seen Castro? He looks almost as bad as Yasser Arafat did healthy—it’s that scary. No wonder Chávez won’t come to the UN: he doesn’t want to look like a complete nut-job in front of…in front of…no, that can’t be it. He fits right in at the UN.

I am from Venezuela with 25 yrs in the USA - It hurts me so much see my birth country take this route.. Then we have these “pinheads” from Hollywood kissing his hands and asking for money..
Do they really know what is going on downthere?? Do you know that Chavez loyals will do anything to stop you, beat you, and whatever it takes to take you down….
My family still lives there and they can’t find an answer - Chavez is just playing with the poor to win and he is buying them along everyone who is corrupted because morals does not exist in Venezuela..

Hi! I am Venezuelan and I live here. I decided to writte to you because things here are far from being the “reality” than others outside the country can see, p.e Naomi Campbell, Sean Penn, and others. Is hard to believe than people who lives in democratics and free countries can dare to give an opinion about a country who they barely knows where stays.
Our venezuelan reality is poverty, many schools around the country couldn´t start classes due to the poor conditions of the facilities, people die in hospitals because there´s not oxygen or medicines. In just one weekend in Caracas killed 120 people because of the crime.
I have no more to say, just these people should think twice before give a good opinion about this terrible dictator…
