Hugo Chavez
The Miami Herald, the radio and TV have been full of stories about Hugo Chavez, of Venezuela. Venezuelans in Miami had to go to New Orleans, and filled many buses to vote for anybody but Chavez.
The first edition of the Miami Herald after his death was announced brought questions about how long he had been dead. The first five pages of the front section of the paper had a variety of stories regarding his death and the impact in Miami. Venezuelans have bought a lot of real estate in the area, and it is estimated that there are over 100,000 ex pats living in Miami now, and especially in Doral.
Miami had done some street corner pot banging a few years ago when Castro I was mistakenly reported at deaths door. Chavez was only in office for 14 years. The local, state, and federal governments have detailed plans for the day Fidel crosses over. The Venezuelans have not begun to return to their homeland. As bad as things are in Miami economically, the prospects are much better here than in Caracas, or so I've been told. And while there is no doubt that there will be wild celebrations upon Fidel's death, I doubt that Cubans will return to Havana for more than a visit. I'm not Cuban but I think I might visit the island homeland of many of my South Florida friends. words that I keep hearing is Chavismo, which is sort of mixture of socialism and the larger than life anti Yankee Chavez.
The guy whether you liked him or not used Venezuela's oil to buy friends and influence. Off and on there were calls to boycot Citgo in Miami because it is believed they were a front for Venezuela.
Embalmed and under glass you will be able to see El Presidente. I wonder if they will try to clone the clown. I hope not.
