Chavnobyl


Socialism builds and capitalism destroys.
-Hugo Chavez
As of Monday, the complex is shut down. The death toll is as high as 48, with more than 150 injured, and the numbers are expected to rise. Twenty square kilometers have been left blackened with a devastation that can be topped only by a nuclear bomb, and fires are still not out. As Venezuelan officials assured everyone that all was under control Monday, a third storage tank caught fire. There is still no foam to fight the fire and no ambulances to transport the wounded, let alone hearses for the dead. Pickup trucks full of charred bodies and looters descending upon the infernal scene complete the tropical vision of Hell.
You really called that one, eh Hugo?

But everything in Venezuela is on the up-and-up. Jimmy Carter said so!

And we can stop referring to Venezuela as a "socialist state" now; it's made the leap into a full-blown communist dictatorship. Maybe Sean Penn will move there.

But at least the victims will get free health care.
