CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday called the U.S. secretary of state "my little girl" and told Washington to "go to hell" after it questioned his plan to seek special powers to legislate by decree.
... "That is a sacrosanct legal authority of Venezuela. Go to hell, gringos! Go home! Go home!" Chavez said during his weekly Sunday broadcast. "We're free here, and every day we'll be more free."

Well, Mr. Chavez may become more free everyday, but I do not like the prospects of ordinary Venezuelans. Stalinist Collectivization has just never proved a fruitful policy for the people. This does not exactly brighten the global political situation either, but seeing how matters in the Middle East are falling apart, this is more of a minor headache, for now.
