Chavez calls time on whisky boom

Venezuelans are to face a limit on the amount of luxury goods they can import, says President Hugo Chavez.
He singled out the high consumption of whisky as an example of the way consumerism was harming society.

Nationalize the oil if you want, but leave our whisky alone.

Chavez does not know how to manage a country with growing wealth. He is on a track to failure. Too much money chasing too few goods. Classic.
==abrupt change of subject and seriousness.
Can we send a spy eye in to see what's in his liquor cabinet?

Don't squat with your spurs on.


Is this for real?

..."This measure is unlikely to affect Mr Chavez's support base, generally the poorest people in the country, who more often drink beer and rum, our correspondent says..."

No stats on how much Puncheon or Polar Pislner? Guess the beer is locally brewed.

He is also about to get his puppet Legislature to pass a new law requiring all males over 16 to wear a purple jumpsuit like he does every day. The American Association of Patriotic Pimps, aka AAPP, headquartered in Harlem, USA issued a statement today..." We are outraged at this possible scenario, as it will create a severe shortage of pimp-wear for our fellow poontang peddlers on the street." Market analysts see a severe short-term rise in the prices of purple jumpsuits, despite the fact that Danny Glover, Sean Penn, and Kevin Spacey have recently entered into contract talks to mass produce purple jumpsuits in their Mexican sweatshops using Chavez's own personal specifications for look and fit.

I’m sorry for the Venezuelans, but there’s really no reason to waste Fine Scotch on people who aren’t willing to overthrow their government for it. Some things are worth fighting for.



Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.
