The Devil's Excrement





  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.

---- From Instapundit, via Volvok: HEH: "Among actual scientists, in the physical and biological sciences, the percentage who identify themselves as Marxists is zero."

Jeez, I guess I am programmed, it is almost Genetic! Thanks M!

---Thanks to cheap gas and cheap cars, you will only be able to take your car out 4 days a week starting on Oct. 28th. in the municipality where I live. Is this part of better "quality of life"?

---- I talked at length about Antonini and the $800,000 suitcase, but did not know what to do with the information that Alex del Nogal had been jailed in Italy for smuggling drugs into Palermo. You see, Del Nogal has been repeatedly mentioned with being close Chavista Government officials.

But then, the Mayor of Libertador denied being close to him, the Mayor of Caracas denied having anything to do with him, a Bolivarian businessman denied having anything to do with him and his former partner in bombing and murder (both convicted, only one pardoned!) Ramiro Helmeyer, now working for the intelligence police (It’s a revolution!) said he has had nothing to do with him since the old (good?) days.

But then I come across these pictures from an oligarchic newspaper three years ago, and jeez, look who is there? Most of the deniers…I guess they have learned, deny, deny, deny and it becomes the truth!!!

Makes you wonder, no?

----And I was not going to show you this video , because I have covered the topic quite a bit, but it is so funny that you deserve to learn about it and thus I will send him some readers. I love the part about Who was the idiot that named this guy Minister of Education. Reply: His younger brother. Her comment: Ah! He has curriculum!.

----And Nobel Prize winner in Economic Stiglitz, essentially warned Chavez there will not be $100 a barrel prices. But did the autocrat listen?

And yes, I will be leaving this wonderful country for the long weekend, I have an appoitment on Friday with Mr. Beckett, Sabathia and Ortiz and on Saturday with Mr. Carmona, Schilling and Ramirez…so, some of you will know where I am…look for me!!!
