President Hugo Chavez, the fiery populist who declared a socialist revolution in Venezuela, crusaded against U.S. influence and championed a leftist revival across Latin America, died Tuesday at age 58 after a nearly two-year bout with cancer.

Vice President Nicolas Maduro, surrounded by other government officials, announced the death in a national television broadcast. He said Chavez died at 4:25 p.m. local time.

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.   George Orwell  The truth is quiet...It's the lies that are loud.   Jesus Revolution

This is, in so many ways, a great day.
Chavez checks out, The one-eyed islamist freak " Moktar Belmoktar" is reported killed. And on top of that.... wait for it... on this day, 60 years ago, Stalin passed away.

It's a great day.

perhaps but it was a tumor.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Party at my place.  BYOB.

If I lived within a 2 hour drive, I'd be there- and I'd bring the beer.

That's what solidarity is all about.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Hopefully Mr. Amadinna... Amamadinajad... that smarmy fellow from Iran, will follow suit and mark the anniversary of Hitler's death.

Ha!

Good point, Atilla. It's a good day when three bad guys die. Thanks for sharing that.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
