Headline Howler: Ha ha ha–I’m sorry, what did you say again?

I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my own laughter. I thought you said something like:

US seeks ‘positive’ dialogue with Venezuela

That couldn’t be right. As far as I know, no one is seeking dialogue, only trying to dictate to Venezuela “the way things are supposed to be done”. Dialogue, you see, implies listening-to, not just talking-at. And we all know just how good Washington is at the former as compared to the latter…

Perhaps someone at the Laredo Sun realized this, because that news article is no longer up, and the only thing you get if you clicky the linky is an error message. Which is also quite the howler when you think about it…

    Indeed, the empire wants nothing to do with ALBA, or Venezuela, other than to knee-cap them and kick them in the face.
    Same as it ever was…
    However, the positive side of all of this is that the empire is losing face. It gets harder as the years go by for the comprador whore elites to point to the US as the model ‘democracy’, or, whatever.
    Thus they have to resort to blatant coups and deathsquads.
    Suffice it to say that Amerikkkan style crapitalism is being exposed as a pornographic, necrophilic economic and social model.
    Only truly retrograde, enslaved, stupid people still look to the US as the be-all, end-all.
    I guess Latin America has its segment analogous to the working class white, racist voter in the Southern US–more concerned about stopping ‘socialism’ and massaging the balls of massa.
