Continuing my quest to use that little corner of the NYTimes website to explain things that are basically inexplicable to a gringo, I take on the cultural juggernaut that is the Cadena Nacional.
(BTW, Gustavo needs to take a victory lap on the ongoing train wreck at SIDOR. You heard it here first, folks.)

OT
This woman is running for president:
Our version of Herman Cain, Maracucha style!!!
Is she part Asian or is that the result of some weird plastic surgery?
It possible she has Asian ancestry, but more likely she has Goajiro indian blood in her given that she’s from Maracaibo.
ta’ bueno quico…veo que de nuevo i can vent here ;)
TWhat about all the Direct TV antennas in “barrios” not even them put up with cadenas!
DirecTV must love Chavez. He destroyed RCTV, he regularly interrupts prime time TV with boring monologues leaving people with DirecTV or no reliable source of sit down entertainment. He is the biggest friend of DirecTV and therefore the expansion of subversive Gringo culture in Venezuela’s history.
