You're probably wondering why...

...given that I have a whole tag on my blog devoted just to Hugo "Pugsley" Chavez, I didn't take note of his recent choking on his last cookie, or the cluster-bomb-target of scum and villainy that was his funeral.

I'll tell you why: His death made me sad and depressed.

I am always sad and depressed when a tyrant dies a natural death, rather than being hounded and torn by an enraged mob of his oppressed citizens, then hung from his heels in the public square to be beaten like a pinata by happy children.

That is a finale that gives me that warm, fuzzy sic semper tyrannis feeling down deep inside, not this wafting off into the never-never, veins pumped full of socialized painkillers distilled from the sweat of the toiling proletariat. There wasn't near enough screaming involved in Pugsley's curtain call.

  1. Well, there is the thought that cancer killed him...

    I have hated cancer since it killed both of my grandfathers, one a smoker, the other not. The one that was a smoker died slowly over a two year period and the other got wasted in less than 8 months to nothing.

    So seeing Hugo go down in cancer's grasp gave me no small end of pleasure knowing the SOB was suffering, even pumped full of meds, a death I wouldn't wish on anyone.

  2. Yeah, if The Rat ate him up like it's reported, then dope didn't help much.
    Which is a good thing.

  5. The sad fact is that it looks as if dictators get a 50/50 shot at slipping away quietly in bed.

    Not all the bastards end up going like Mussolini or Ceausescu. Which is one thing that makes me hope the religious folk are right and there is an afterlife. Not that I want so much to get into Heaven, I just hope there's a Hell for the Hitlers and Khomeinis and Assads and Stalins.

  6. Great snark!!!! Not only executed. But put on trial for their heinous crimes. Them and the dupes that supported their crimes against humanity! De opresso libre!

  7. Cheer up, Tam.

    Maybe there IS an afterlife, and Pugsley's making up for the tranquility of his transition with a notably increased amount of screaming now.

  8. Holy Eva Braun! Where did she come from?!? And why?

    (But, if that picture is accurate, and she is the product of some Wunderwaffen eugenics program, well, maybe I misjudged...

  9. Prof. Moriarty,

    Where'd who go? *whistles innocently*

  10. If only there was a way to encourage people to kill their own tyrants. I mean, if the fear of getting killed yourself, or your kids, or your parents, or cousins, or other relative, or whoever, is not enough to convince you to "throw off such tyrants," well then perhaps a bit of cash might do the trick.

    I would toss some spare change into the "Kill a tyrant for cash" fund, and I don't usually donate to causes. I could get really enthusiastic about this one.

  11. I like the way you think.

  12. Think positive.

    Maybe Michael Moore and the rest will not be so enthusiastic about the Cuban health care system.


    And put Hugo in perspective. While ruining the economy of Venezuela and driving out almost everyone who is a member of the business owning class are achievements every Marxist can only envy, the actual body count is pretty low--and the organized opposition inside the country can still put up a pretty good political fight. Among the tyrants, Chavez can at best aspire only the position of top 100.

    I still haven't given up hope on the idea of digging up FDR's corpse and seeing if candy falls out after sufficient abuse.

  14. If you ever publish a collection of essays, may I recommend a title?

    Sense and Savagery.

    Nobody does it better.

  15. As an aside, I can't believe the hypocrisy level that two people (Penn and Jackson) who have made soo much money through capitalism can stand there and espouse the benefits of socialism and communism.
    How much of their own money have they donated to the proletariat?

    Socialism is never for the socialist, only the commoners.

  16. On a happier note, there were some reports that he was at least begging for his life at the end...

    Poor dumb bastard was pleading with the doctors not to let him die.

    Gotta wonder if he'd have had a chance with some 'Murrikin doctoring!

  17. Sadly, he is sorely missed by a modest margin of his countrymen. It is frighteningly easy to convince simple people that work is only a bad dream. At least until the bill comes due.

  18. Gotta agree with Cormac.If there's any justice at all,Pugsly suffered and died from a condition that we could have easily cured here-if he hadn't been such an ass.
    And if Sean Penn had really been his friend,he would have arranged a jet and a trip to the Mayo clinic,to show him what capitalism can provide that Cuba can't.

  19. Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., and former Massachusetts Congressman William Delahunt represented the U.S., or at least the leftist sympathizer segment in government. The absence of John Kerry or Joe Biden speaks volumes. Jesse Jackson was making gratuitous comments about a "peaceful transition" to a Chavez appointed successor, even though opposition Venezuelan politicians noted that the Speaker should be the acting President under their Constitution. Details, details.

    Also amusing was the reaction of Iranian clerics to the behavior of their President at Chavez' funeral. I guess he does not get out of town often enough.

  20. Saddam Hussein reputedly used to say that he expected to go as a result of an enraged mob tearing him to pieces in the street. We got all spoilsport and wet-blanket like, and encouraged a reasonably decent hanging.

    I know what you mean, Ma'am. Somehow, some way, at some level, it just don't satisfy.

  21. Look forward to a future time, a better time, when you can visit Chavez's grave, and Lenin's and Castro's and Mao' and others, and add your spit to the billions of lugies already deposited thereon.

  22. I dunno about the graves of foreigners, but there are some in this country upon which I wish to piss.

    1. Bill Sherman. I'm from Georgia.

    2. Bruno Bettelheim. He was rude to auties, and their mommies.

    3. Emmanuel Celler. He devoted his entire political career to destroying my country.

    4. Abraham Lincoln. He provoked an horrible bloody war from what should have been a peaceful secession.

  23. Tam, I was with you up to the "beaten like a pinata by happy children" part, but the little dears are apt to have nightmares after he bursts and what comes out is definitely not candy. We have to think of some adult sport that involves beating a dangling object until it bursts.
