today, on the way to work, there was an exposé on U.S. National Public
Radio: it turns out that Hugo Chávez's relatives (allegedly) benefit
from nepotism! This is totally unlike other Latin American countries,
and poles apart from the United States!! call out the troops!

"Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity,
nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor
by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed." -- Herman Melville
