    Chavez to expel foreign critics

    Just so nobody thinks we neglect other potential targets of mockery and derision:

    Chavez to expel foreign critics

    ...

    "How long are we going to allow a person - from any country in the world - to come to our own house to say there's a dictatorship here, that the president is a tyrant, and nobody does anything about it?" Mr Chavez said during his "Hello, President" broadcast on Sunday.
    ...

    That's sure a compelling counter-argument!

    Funny, I asked myself the same question after his UN rant.

    The real question is, when will he expel all of the spy-squirrels?

    Understandably, I think. However, it illustrates how much better the USA is than tinpot dictatorships like the one Chavez is running.

    Inq: Boris and Natasha are already working to capture Moose and Squirrel, and send them to re-education camp run by Fearless Leader!

    That SHOULD go without saying, but it doesn't.

    What was really illustrated....reinforced rather, by the UN episode and the near ovation Chavez received was what a sham the UN has become, and how much a tinpot dictator is allowed to get away with.

    oh sorry, a hazard of posting from work.

    Just runs through the delights of dealing with US consular staff. Especially if one happens to be from the sub-continent. I suspect even Inq would find it hard to prove he wasn't working on chemical weapons.

    this is a more light hearted take on the pleasures imposed on foreigners entering the US.
    au revoir

    If I can find a way to weaponize the odor of epeeists in their ripe jackets I might be able to extort enough money from the nations of the world to buy myself some sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads....
