A friend to the poor and to Labor.
May have been a little authoritarian for my liking, but he served his people well, and he didn't cater to capitalists, in spite of a coup attempt, and the world's mightiest power trying to undermine him.
Farewell, comrade Chavez.

you know, I was just trying to be silly about an ad the runs constantly here in the winter. Not being serious at all. I think death does that to me - I admit to laughing at funerals even when I am very very upset about them. Kind of like mary tyler moore at peanut the clown's funeral (except I don't look even one hundredth as pretty as she)
