The New York Times continues a long tradition of useful idiocy, with a piece on Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez: Chavez is a Genius of a Politician: Charming, Folksy, Flirtatious.

UPDATE at 11/4/07 10:28:19 am:

It should be noted that the full article, although overly sympathetic to Chavez, is an interesting look at the oil-driven politics of Venezuela with lots of historical background: The Perils of Petrocracy.

 Frank says:

The essence of Christianity is told us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions. -- Playboy Interview, April 1993
