Exhausting day, but all sorts of humorous things in the news:
Deputy Amoroso: “The country is in its best economic and financial moment”
Enjoy it, while it lasts!
Minister Lara: “Chavez will hold Alo Presidente five times a week. An hour and a half each night”
Yeah sure, Chavez will stop after 90 minutes! That will be hard to enjoy day after day. But who will run the country anyway?
Minister Iglesias” The prices of meat, chicken, eggs and milk have been lowered and this time we will enforce it”
Where have I heard that joke before? Do they want to have even more shortages? She also said this Government had revived industry, an even better joke. She did not specify, which, where and how. We laughed anyway.
Tal Cual censored and fined: And the only thing that I did not find funny started with a humor piece by Laureano Marquez in which a judge sucking up to the autocrat found the writer and newspaper guilty (twice!) of violating the privacy of Chavez daughter and fined them. Justice moves fast against the Government enemies and the article is still banned (read censored) from the Internet. This certainly does not intimidate Petkoff, but is part of the campaign to intimidate and quiet down the media. According to the law, Chavez committed the same crime first and does it every time he brings kids on TV for political purposes.
