Hi Joe good post allthough these guys are both putzes in my opinion.

Soon, but I do not have the exact dates, Chavez goes to JAPAN for an economic summit and grandstanding (from what I have read in Chavez's upcoming iteniary). I will be very interested in what he says there, what deals he will try to make with the Japanese, as their economy is based on a western model- Something I am more familiar with than Venezuela's ultra socialisim.

I will try to find the Japan trip dates / details.
