March 30: This is Hugo Chavez’ birthday..in case you want to celebrate it. Chavez is asking his one known loyal follower in the USA (Cindy Sheehan) and the other three or four dozen devotees in his own country, to declare for themselves a two day holiday in his honor so they can extole his greatness in a love fest of adoration.
Elsewhere BBC reports, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez missed his birthday party in Tehran on Friday, but his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has some presents in store for his fellow anti-U.S. firebrand on Saturday. Iran’s presidential office invited reporters to Tehran airport to greet Chavez who turns 52 on Friday. But after several hours waiting they were sent home. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expects to present Chavez with the Humanitarian Medal, one of Iran’s highest honors.
