Smatterings: Random link of Interest

Apparently, there is glut of refrigerators among Venezualan elite. Not cool, says Hugo, not cool. Chavez orders supporters to give up extra possessions - CNN.com

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez told his supporters to give away possessions they do not need such as an extra refrigerator because he only wants true socialists to be members of a new single party he is forming.”Whoever has a fridge they do not need, put it out in the village square. Whoever has a truck, a fan or a cooker they do not need, give something away. Let’s not be selfish. I demand you do it,” Chavez said at a milk producing cooperative, in remarks released on Monday.

Those refrigerator hoarding bastards! You tell em Hugo.

    A perfect illustration of socialism, in my opinion. Share the wealth so that everyone can be equally poor.

    Better yet, why not share political power instead of hoarding it under one socialist government?

    I just found it humorous that the wealth/status item chosen for his illustration was the fridge.
