I need a hobby.

They won’t let me attend the Campus Crusades for Cthulhu meetings anymore. I’d be snuggling happily in bed with my beloved, Angelina Jolie, if it weren’t for those damned restraining orders.

Larry, do you and Pastor Ted Haggard still do those paintball games with the Christian Cannibalism Youth Groups and Senator Larry Craig on Sunday afternoons after church? I could use a fresh coat of paint.

We weren’t expecting THAT, were we?

( http://www.News.Google.Com ~> Chavez election results )

I wish that the USA could get the same quality of elections that Jimmy Carter’s election monitoring group say that they have seen in Caracas.

Chavez is feeding the starving and doing lots of generally good things for his people, this is something that the Exxon Oil and American Faith-based former government in Venezuela had NO INTENTION of EVER doing. That’s not disputed by even the most eviscerally motivated and shrillest of the Chavez detractors. Chavez get’s props and cred for that - AND for taking election results seriously.

Bush and the Republicans consider following the will of the people to be a sign of weakness. Perhaps it is, in THEIR circles.

My biggest problem with Chavez will turn-out to be HIS problem - eventually; Hugo Chavez is a devout Christian. He has MANDATORY PRAYER in his public schools and he (mistakenly) beLIEves that he can keep the church at arm’s length, on a short leash and let it sleep in the master’s bed. That has ALWAYS proven to be a seriously flawed calculation.

Chavez reads Chomsky, he reads Orwell and he reads Howard Zinn. Good for him. He should ALSO read Christopher Hitchens - (even though Chris Hitchens DOES have a Godx, a Master and a Lord, in the holy personage of derr turd blossom, Karl Rove) at least Hitschen’s object du’ worship is REAL, (and a real piece of sh|t, I might add) at least Hitchens doesn’t beLIEve in magical invisible sky daddies. That’s SOMETHING.

The church is the OPPOSITE of morality, the Vatican has backed every political ass hat, regardless of their interchangeable political stripes, since time began, ad infinitem, ad nauseum.

How ANYONE can take seriously any organization that advocated denying John Kerry the rite of holy communion but never did the same to Adolphus Hitler is just beyond me. …but then again, issues revolving around matters of faith always seem arbitrarily insane, randomly psychotic and wildly humorous to me.

Get a grip.

People.

And I guess my words could be new (if I understood correctly) only for somebody who NEVER got out of corporate USA media. And it has NOTHING to do with a caracter

A new Swift Boater, one who had appeared in uniform at functions where Gen. Wes Clark was speaking. The General talked briefly with the man about how inappropriate his appearance in service decore actually was for the fact it was a political event.

Looks like someone is trying to make a quick buck.

All that’s missing is an offer to help make money by cashing a check from some ambassador attache, provided you share an account with them.

I don’t think Chavez really needs others to get the word out in the media. He makes direct statements against Bush at major world conferences or meetings and the energy from that feeds itself. That also would match a strong man’s personality demands, and the ego fulfillment that goes along with such profiles.

If anything, Chavez has to distance self from his own acts with our gov’t at other times. Certain bandwidths probably needed a hookup in his region, and nobody turns down money to be made from something considered unthreatening, as the extent to which bulk chatter is monitored. Agree to disagree, but carry on limited business…

Does Scotty McClellan ghostwrite? His own stuff is considered a reach most of the time, but is far more interesting.

It was about a lot of things, but access to oil for Israel?! Come on! Access to oil for Israel had no significance in the decision to invade and take over Iraq.
The real motives are far more sinister and far-reaching than “access to oil for Israel”.

And by the way, it was also not about access to oil for the United States - at least not in the sense of obtaining oil for the United States’ consumption. That could have been accomplished in simpler, less costly, and far less destructive and deadly ways. Again, it is about something far more sinister and far-reaching than mere access to oil.

It’s really too bad that some people insist upon focusing on Israel so much in trying to explain this matter. It provides advocates of U.S. aggression a cheap and easy diversion from the real explanations, which are extremely dangerous and have worldwide and very long-range implications.

Same to you on a good holiday season….my family will all be together here in sunny AZ for the first time in years.

Lets hope that by this time next year there is a better chance of peace in the world then there is today.

One of the great disappointments of my life after living under the threat of nuclear anniliation for 50 years was the failure of this country to take the lead in promoting world peace after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

To use the the title of John Lennon’s great peace song Imagine, can you imagine what the world would be like today if Al Gore had won in 2000?

While I am basically an optimistic person, I do not see world peace coming anytime in the future, in fact even if the Dems win next year I do not hear any rhetoric that would lead me believe that striving for world peace is any where near the top of their agenda’s.

As long as this country’s priorities are consumerism, greed, accumulation of wealth and power, lack of compassion for those less fortunate then us not only those in this country but the rest of the world, a foreign policy driven by empire building and corporate globalization, total lack of leadership in the global warming, (I could go on and on), I do not have a lot of hope for the future.

Peace

This is more interesting than the claim that Chavez wants to be president for life

Art. 301 - Removal of the requirement that foreign businesses receive the same treatment as national businesses, stating that national businesses may receive better treatment.

Now on to the claim

Art. 230 - Presidential term is extended from six to seven years. The two consecutive term limit on presidential reelection is removed.

Venezuela’s Constitutional Reform: An Article-by-Article Summary
November 23rd 2007, by Gregory Wilpert – Venezuelanalysis.com
The following is an article-by-article summary of the changes being proposed to Venezuela’s 1999 constitution. The summary is in no way official and should only be used as an aid in making sense of the proposed constitutional reform. The official reform text is quite long (31 pages), as it includes the full text of each to be changed article, even if only one sentence or word was changed in the article. Making out what, exactly, the changes are relative to the original 1999 constitution can thus be a sometimes time-consuming and difficult task.

Venezuelans will vote on the reform on December 2nd and will do so in two blocks. Block “A” includes President Chavez’s original proposal, as amended by the National Assembly, which would change 33 articles out of the 350 articles in the constitution. Also included in block A are another 13 articles introduced by the National Assembly. Block “B” includes another 26 reform articles proposed by the National Assembly. Voters may vote “Yes” or “No” on each block.

——————————————————————————–

Reform Question: “Are you in agreement with the approval of the constitutional reform project, passed by the National Assembly, with the participation of the people, and based in the initiative of President Hugo Chavez, with its respective titles, chapters, and transitional, derogative, and final dispositions, distributed in the following blocks?”

[Articles in italics are those proposed by the National Assembly, non-italic articles were proposed by the President.]
