http://bit.ly/1MKjrn - - - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez told citizens Wednesday to limit their showers to three minutes because the country is having problems supplying water and electricity.
"Some people sing in the shower, in the shower half an hour," he said during a televised cabinet meeting. "No kids, three minutes is more than enough. I've counted, three minutes, and I don't stink." Chavez said low rainfall caused by El Nino meant water levels were at critically low levels in the El Guri reservoir, one of the world's largest dams. "If you are going to lie back, in the bath, with the soap and you turn on the what's it called, the Jacuzzi ... imagine that, what kind of communism is that? We're not in times of Jacuzzi," Chavez said. He called on state-run organizations to immediately cut energy consumption by 20 percent and mentioned using airplanes to force rain from clouds. The leader also said the government would publish a decree forbidding imports of low-efficiency electrical appliances. - - - You can't make this shit up. It would be hilarious, if it wasn't so tragic. The pathology of an autocrat is funny until they're in power. And when they're in power, it's only funny when it's somebody else's autocrat. As we too are only beginning to learn. Yes, one day our Dear Leader will be this absurd too. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
