I won’t be heading to Venezuela any time soon. Not that I had planned a visit to check out all the great investing opportunities for Americans in Chavezland, but I was informed by the Prez himself that I am unwelcome in his beautiful country.

“No foreigner, whoever it is, can come here to attack us,” Chavez said. “How long are we going to allow a person, from any country in the world, to come to our own house to say there’s a dictatorship here, that the President is a tyrant, and no one does anything about it?”

Good thing they have a lot of oil because their tourism business isn’t looking so bright with that moronic and hypocritical comment (check out the full story.) I wouldn’t think of “attacking” the country but some of my previous commentary about his dictatorial style and nationalizing of industries with foreign investment may have insulted his sensitive nature. Lo siento.  Perdoname por favor.
