Blog Guy, the presidents of those Latin American countries like Venezuela and Cuba, do they make much money? I mean, can you earn a good living doing that?
Well, it’s tough, but most of them are allowed to supplement their government incomes with commercial endorsements, product placement, stuff like that.
That sounds like a pretty good deal.
Yeah, Venezuela’s President, Hugo Chavez, seems to be raking it in. Looks like he’s selling wristwatches, personal hygiene products…
Blog Guy, I know that isn’t what is happening here. It’s time to tell your readers the truth…
Sigh. I guess you’re right. Okay, below you can see three Latin American leaders riding in Cuba’s famous “all-glass subway,” holding onto clear Lucite straps as they hurtle toward their stop….
Thanks, Blog Guy. Now that wasn’t so tough, was it?
No, I feel better already.

well, they really did seem to be like in a subway… think i need my meds again…
I’d hate to be stuck in between them on a subway…is the guy in blue digging for fleas?
I’ll join you on the med-taking Shra. It’s time for my afternoon dose anyway!
Chavez is complaining about how badly run the all-glass subway is: it’s continuously behind schedule, there are never empty seats, there’s always high-pitched laughs from passengers all around… Not only that, insecurity is so bad he has to keep a hand over his pen to make sure it’s not knicked away from his pocket!! The thing, Robert, this all-glass tube doesn’t run in Cuba, so that’s why they are all making believe…
I think my meds are acting just spot on, don’t you think?

These guys should have learned from ruthless dictator Benito Mussolini. Say what you want, he made the trains run on time….
Wonder what LMR would have to say about this… anyone heard from her? Or Dave?
LMR has sent comments within the last few hours. She’s fine, or at least as fine as she can be. Dave, on the other hand, I’m worried about. Dave?
Dave… I think the last time I saw him he was walking away, glaze-eyed and somewhat ruffled, with a couple of guys in white hats. Do you guys reckon he’ll be alright?
