So are we supposed to feel bad?
If any jackass ever deserved to die a slow painful death by cancer it is Hugo Chavez
and if Cuba suffers because of it, maybe they will wake up and be a normal country.
Enjoy your Communism Bitches.

Cuba would plunge swiftly into chaos if Venezuela’s ailing President Hugo http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifChávez is replaced by someone less willing to subsidize Havana to the tune of $3.5 billion this year, analysts said Friday.
Havana already is divided between older leaders determined to maintain a friendly regime in Caracas at all costs, they added, and others who view Chávez’ subsidies as disincentives to the profound economic reforms that Cuba desperately needs.
Chávez, who has been Cuba’s top ally and benefactor for nearly a decade and considers Fidel Castro as his top political mentor, announced from a Havana hospital Thursday that he has cancer, sparking immediate speculation about his and Venezuela’s political future.
A charismatic populist, he has no clear successor as head of the “21st Century socialism” also embraced in Bolivia and Nicaragua — and plenty of opponents ready to challenge his 12-year grip on power in presidential elections scheduled for next year.

Tehran will bar opposition rally
Not in my country Bitches.
Ahmalitlmunky, thought it a great idea for Egypt to rise up, an Islamic Uprising, it was called.
The terrorist group the Muzzy Brotherhood did not get control(YET), Maybe that is what Iran was hoping for?
But maybe they did not like the fact that the people kind of got their way.
(Reuters) - Tehran will refuse permission for a reformist opposition rally in support of the uprising that toppled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a government official was quoted as saying Saturday.
"These people are fully aware of the illegality of their demand and they know they will not receive a permit for staging a riot," Mehdi Alikhani-Sadr, deputy director of the Interior Ministry's political bureau, was quoted by the semi-official Fars news agency as saying. It had always been highly unlikely the government would permit the rally organized by groups it considers seditious.
Mehdi Karoubi and Mir Hossein Mousavi, who lost a disputed 2009 presidential election, had applied for permission to stage a rally Monday in support of revolts in Egypt and Tunisia.
Tehran has presented the Egyptian uprising as an "Islamic awakening' similar to Iran's 1979 revolution. Thousands turned out Friday to mark the 32nd anniversary of the revolution in a Tehran rally promoted by the Iranian clerical establishment as a show of solidarity with "Islamic" protesters in Cairo.

Chavez says decree powers may last 18 months
Opposition parties were furious.
"This is madness, a lack of respect for the popular will and a coup d'etat against the constitution," opposition politician Pastora Medina told Reuters.
"He's consolidating himself as a dictator."
No! A Dictator ?
Nice you nitwits are finally waking up, to bad it is a little to late.
(Reuters) - President Hugo Chavez sought to outflank Venezuela's rejuvenated opposition on Monday by vowing to assume decree powers for up to 18 months in a move bound to heighten criticism he is stifling democracy.
The charismatic socialist leader and U.S. critic justifies the measure as an emergency response to floods that have made 130,000 people homeless -- but it is also clearly a preemptive step before a less compliant parliament convenes on January 5.
Chavez accepted the results of a September vote that gave opponents about 40 percent of seats in the 165-member National Assembly. Opposition parties had feared he would simply bypass parliament rather than face a brake on power.
"We'll show them what we're capable of!" Chavez said, waving a copy of the special "Enabling Law" his Cabinet is preparing to submit to the outgoing parliament on Tuesday.
Opposition parties were furious.
"This is madness, a lack of respect for the popular will and a coup d'etat against the constitution," opposition politician Pastora Medina told Reuters.
"He's consolidating himself as a dictator."
