Comments on: Suddenly and all the time with Hugo Chávez http://devilsexcrement.com/2010/02/09/suddenly-and-all-the-time-with-hugo-chavez/ 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.

You don’t actually have to invent the product, the idea itself has real value in terms of moving popular opinion. It’s not for nothing that the consumer goods companies – the successful ones, anyway – spend billions on marketing.

EVERYTHING starts with ideas. Unless you’ve a gun.

“De repente, se me salio un regalito, pasame el Lomotil!”

If he just confined it to his myriad stations, it would not sound so… surreal.

De repente, Chavez… That’s just what happens when he gets the urge and starts a “Cadena”, on all the stations…

More likely, it goes for most of us like “here I was, listening to X on xx.xx FM “y De Repente, el $/$&@! ese empezo una cadena!”

It is a political discussion/news show. She had to keep saying that she wasn’t kidding, when describing the harp break in thing. It almost sounds like megalomania to me. Not a good sign.

I have a feeling if nobody watches, he will.

Pity the cartoonist didn’t embody Hugo Chávez’s preeminence in radio, which is even more aggressive and multitudinous than television. Rupert Murdoch, eat your heart out!

Like good wine, the cartoon has aged rather well. All too well.
