Authoritarian Creepiness

"When you hear the pluck of a harp on the radio, maybe Chavez is coming. It's suddenly, at any time, maybe midnight, maybe early morning."

Thus spoke Hugo Chavez. The preceding line is Chavez' way of advertising a new radio program starring – who else? – Hugo Chavez. According to the Venzuelan strongman, the new show could air at any moment. In addition to his television program, Aló, Presidente, Venezuelans can now look forward to over 5 hours a week of Chavez' musings on "21st century socialism."

How is that working out, anyway?
