Tal Cual took a stand today, publishing the same picture as El Nacional in teodoro Petkoff’s daily Editorial, called La Fotografia, The Picture.
Will the Government go after him too?
I like these challenges, they upset the Government’s playbook…
The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

It’s a bit like like the Mohammed’s cartoons situations. But better.

When I saw the picture this morning I was happy…somebody has the guts to stand against this ridiculous laws. However I knew that the government would react sooner or later…well they already did. If I was responsible for a newspaper in Venezuela I would publish the picture in solidarity with El NAcional and Tal Cual.What would happen if all the newspapers not chavista do the same?

GWEH; good, ( agree about the “justice served”)
To me Luis Tascon was very close to Nixon´s old saying:
Nixon’s had an asshole transplant.” … “It is said the asshole’s rejected him!”
The difference is that the colon for Luis Tascon was not in the “hospital´s LIST….”

Tascon: colo-rectal cancer, too much steak!
Their slow and agonizing deaths is justice served.

OT: does anyone know anything about millionaire rancher and FARC sympathizer Rodríguez Chacín?
I read he is dying of cancer in his hacienda in Barinas.
