Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas

The whole film? I think so!

Whenever I try to get a little order in my records I find long forgotten treasures. This weekend I re-discovered Electric Wizard - Dopethrone... Awesomeness for the alchohol-influenced mind..

Yes, I'm just getting into Electric Wizard properly. Nice avatar.

Thx, haha.. Do you have Dopethrone or should I arrange a meeting between the two of you?

Hooray for Chavez...

Any Venezuelans here? Any comments?

Actually I downloaded Dopethrone last week, but thanks for the offer. Anyway, I bought Let Us Prey after that to alleviate any downloaders guilt I had.

There's a discussion on Chavez on the Jeremy Vine show today, which I shall be listening to at work.

Part of me wants to join in the Huzzahs, but something about 95% approval ratings rings the "autocrat" alarm bells.

Anyway, this is a very interesting guy. There are also very complementary articles about him in todays Guardian from Ken Livingstone (http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story ... 13,00.html)
and Saturday's from John Pilger (http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story ... 08,00.html)

How sweet, haha .. N prblm..

Darn, missed El Vino. Good? And I agree with you, he's a bit too good to be true. Even if he has made such improvements, apparently he'll still a dictator...

And I don't know about you, but I couldn't give a shit what Ken thinks of him. The man's a wanker for the congestion charge alone, never mind any ridiculously overblown "OMG he called me a Nazi" incidents.

The Jeremy Vine show was good actually. Quite an animated debate between someone from Respect (pro Chavez) and a Venezuelan journalist/writer (against). I was expecting the journalist to achieve pwnage using the old "you don't live there, you're just a leftist idealogue" angle, but actually the Respect guy did a pretty good job and at the end I felt slightly more pro-Chavez than I did before.

As for Ken, I'm fairly indifferent. Something that is worth noting though: That journalist he insulted worked for the London Evening Standard- a product oowned by the Daily Mail group. I doubt he was offended. Rather he was just taking any available opportunity to portray a left-wing politician as an anti-semite. Of course, if said journo was really worried about what Livingstone said, he should probably be advised to change jobs, seeing as how the paper he works for was a big supporter of Hitler in the 1930s, and wanted to stop "the hordes of jews leaving Germany".

Funny. You'd think someone actually from there would know more...

Good point. Interesting, the amount of hysteria in the general Jewish press over the incident, and the 'friend of suicide bombers' tag the guy seems to get stuck with. As I said, I dislike the guy for other reasons, not least his slimyness (ditto Cameron!).

It wasn't that the Venezuelan was ill-informed, it was just that his reasons for disliking Chavez were unconvincing. They were along the lines of "he cares more about the poor of other countries than the poor of Venezuela". He was rebutted when the Respect guy pointed out that

a) The poor of Venezuela appear to think he's awesomeness personified.
b) Most leftists will be in favour of helping the poor of other countries as well as your own anyway (ie Internationalism), so they'll see that part of the argument as a plus point anyway.

I see that the poor absolutely love him, but what of the middle class? All very well being a benevolent socialist, but he does seem to be a tad populist. All the current furore over him seems to be as much about the guy's hatred of the US as how much the state of the people's improved. I'm fully in favour of the guy helping people, I just wish that people in favour of him would give that as a reason.

He's like a nicer Castro...
