According to the London Telegraph, Leader Chavez has proclaimed that it’s un-socialist to sing in the shower in Venezuela. Yes, I know it reads like satire, but so much of modern life does…
“Some people sing in the shower, in the shower half an hour. No kids, three minutes is more than enough. I’ve counted, three minutes, and I don’t stink,” he said during a televised Cabinet meeting.
Getting into his stride, he went on to label baths and jacuzzis anti-communist.
“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,” he said, to laughter from his ministers.
Obviously I can’t vouch for this; I didn’t see the television broadcast. Read it all and judge for yourself.

1. Delia:My husband once [annoyingly] clocked my shower time at 22 minutes.
He also clocked each note I sang and how well-tuned and perfectly pitched I am when singing in said echo chamber.
Turns out? I have perfect pitch, perfect tits but I use way too much hot water.

pondering how much tooth paste, or pantyhose, to
produce for the upcoming year.
Michael, nobody can make this stuff up on their own. They have to weave in reality.

Have you thought of changing the name of your blog to this? It doesn’t convey the asinine rush to disaster that you advocated in Iraq and now push for Iran with “Faster, Please”, but at least its honest.

Please take a shower.
You stink.

Oct 24, 2009 - 8:32 am 7. RV:Look, everyone knows you hate Chavez and were all about the Iraq war. But seriously, can Neocons grow a sense of humor?
Venezuela, like many other countries in the world, is going through a water shortage. So Chavez is urging people to use less water, and using humor to try to do it.
Instead, the media here invents some scandal to try and paint him as a foolish autocrat. Disingenuous or dense?
