I thought I wouldn't pick up the pen again today, but I have read this minute that Hugo Chávez has just nationalised some American oil rigs or something to that effect. I'm not a shareholder, so why should I care? In fact, I don't, but I'm just worried that the shmuck will soon run out of stuff to nationalise. What then?
Well, my concerns are relative, of course. I know he has a plan. It's not for nothing that he went to primary school with Fidel, to high school with Ahmadinejad, did his undergraduate studies with Kim Jong-il and, like Malema, he is planning to do his doctorate in economics with Mugabe.
Well done, Hugo! Reach for the stars, my boy!
