Over in Spanish, Cesar Pérez Vivas sets Juan off…
The Book
In praise of Blogging the Revolution
“Caracas Chronicles has been an indispensable source of lucidity and perspective in these turbulent times in Venezuela. Toro and Nagel have been right on target, without pretending to be ludicrously impartial; they have been able to rise above polarization, trying hard to make sense of an often implausible reality. Blogging the Revolution shows them at their best. If you are not already a fan, you will become one.”
- Francisco J. Monaldi, RFK Visiting Professor at Harvard Kennedy School and Director, Center on Energy at IESA in Caracas.Recent Comments

Thank God for Google translator.
My apologies for not double-posting. I’m in the middle of a trans-planetary move and things are upside down.
Hey, it’s OK.
The Google tranlsator made more sense.
:-D
LOL (Lots of Love, especially for Katy..)
Deedle
trans-planetary? Surely you exaggerate? What other planet could you possibly move to? Mars?
Wow, awful post, so is everyone other than Capriles Radonski a lepper in this blog? -CPV has every right to run, will he win? No! But he has every right to aspire, specially in primaries.
Strange things sometimes happen in our short memory infested country, like Ledezma winning the Alcaldía Mayor, the same Ledezma who was chastised for even running, the same Ledezma who is one of the most popular opposition figures presently, after being a ghost for over a decade.
All due respect JC, but your Yellow and Black blood is a little bit too apparent sometimes…
I sort of agree that he doesn’t really hide it too well, though I like that Juan wears his partisanship on his sleeve.
I think he should’ve been more explicit. The problem with Pérez Vivas is NOT that he’s not yellow-and-black. The problem with Pérez Vivas is that instead of using his campaign launch to demonstrate his seriousness of purpose and his viability as a national leader, he winged it with a lame joke.
Honestly, it’s hard to take seriously the claims to leadership of someone who’s THAT flippant about something as transcendant as this. I mean c’mon, Gandhi walking down to the beach to make salt he is not…
yeah, “lame”. that’s the word I was thinking… and I’m not thinking about JPV
Alot’s going on.. in Venezuela, outside of Venezuela but includes Venezuela, outside but could have HUGE impacts on Venezuela.. and someone filing a year early is news?
for example: the economic crisis is over!

and the OAS responds in support of the hunger strike (after it ends).. thank you for noticing Sr. Insulza:
http://english.eluniversal.com/2011/02/22/oas-insulza-hails-the-end-of-hunger-strike-in-venezuela.shtml
and I heard something is happening in the middle east. But Chavez is not to be seen or heard from?
must be a quiet news day.
