• The power will be turned back on right after Sean Penn pays the overdue electric bill.

  • So, what you're saying is that in true liberal fashion, he is planning a fundraiser so he doesn't have to use any of his own money.

• Ahh. Yet another communist paradise the so called Democrats want for us.

• Throws a new light on once you go black.

• What has the perfidious Ted Cruz done now?!?

• The Korean peninsula at night is a stark example of freedom vs a closed off communist dictatorship

  Seoul is a capital city, literally, in the glow of health and the rest of South Korea reflects the same prosperity that has made that tiny nation an industrial powerhouse. This, while the North sits in almost total darkness. An old joke relates how that dot of light in the area of Pyongyang is dear leaders big screen television set.

  • Glad I read em all before posting, that was my first thought too. Love your avi 8)

    • Thanks to you, I do too.

• American leftists just know they can do better. Wonder how Maduro's standard of living has been effected?

  • It has not been effected, & since the progressives never intend to live by the rules they wish to impose, Venezuela is a good model for the progressive nation they want. We are following their lead, & are about 10-15 years behind them.

    • Yeah....I was just being cynical about Maduro's lifestyle. He is just another in a long line of leftist dictators who loot their country until either revolution, coup, or cancer (Chavez) takes them.

• Now that the EPA has declared war on coal that's our future.

• No, this is not Socialism's fault... it's Jorge El Bush's fault.

• Venezuela flunked Economics 101(and any consideration of being a civilized culture) when they ran out of toilet paper a few months back.

  • Looks like Che Guevara has achieved his dream of having a Communist paradise in Central America.

• Nothing new here. I lived in Venezuela in the late 60s and early 70s. Every time it rained the power went out. We lived in several different neighborhoods and two different cities. The only place the power was reliable was when we lived in a company camp that provided it's own power with their own generators. Not surprised to hear the place is still a shithole.
