Hugo's White Friends

From the beginning, RSBS has been about both baseball and politics. But, it's easy to lose track of the politics when the baseball plays out like it did this year. Also, the politics have been sucking. I mean, something needs to happen with health care but I'm sick of talking about it and even more sick of hearing about it.

Luckily, whenever I hit a point where American politics isn't doing it for me, all I need to do is look south. No, a bit further south. No, not Guatemala. Keep going. Ok, there it is. Venezuela and it's coffee-swilling chuckle-head of a president. So, what's happening in the mind of el presidente today?

Hm, a little baseball over in that corner of the brain which makes sense. I mean, he is Venezuelan. Yep, definitely a little crazy over in that corner which makes sense since he's from the same country as Ozzie Guillen. But those are just sideshows. If you really want to know what's going on just step into the three-ring circus of Hugo's anti-American paranoia. It's a non-stop riot of fire-breathing, wild animal taming and tiny cars full of clowns. And this time it's all about the war the US is apparently trying to launch against Venezuela from Colombia. 

Here's the thing, Hugo. Even if we wanted to start that war (which we don't because, let's face it, no one really cares about Venezuela), we don't have the resources to do so. Cutting off ties with Colombia over this makes about as much sense as the proverbial cutting off of the nose to spite the face. Really Hugo, you need to sit back and take a lesson from someone who understands putting aside differences so we can get along. Deuce Poppi, take it away:



Happy Monday, y'all.
