Quote of the Week

"How long are we going to allow a person — from any country in the world — to come to our own house to say there's a dictatorship here, that the president is a tyrant, and nobody does anything about it?" -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who said Sunday that foreigners who publicly criticize him or his government while visiting Venezuela will be expelled from the country.

"Heh, say what you like about that Hugo Chavez; he does have a good idea every now and then."

People in Venezuela already face long prison terms for criticizing the dictator. It's the law there now. I've also heard in the past week that he's all but declared war on Colombia and Guyana. I'm surprised Brazil hasn't escaped his grab.
