Blogging, Margaret Thatcher Style
posted by Joel Taylor

posted by Joel Taylor
CARACAS, Venezuela – President Hugo Chavez died of a massive heart attack and inaudibly mouthed his desire to live, the head of Venezuela’s presidential guard said late Wednesday. “He couldn’t speak but he said it with his lips … ‘I don’t want to die.

posted by Joel Taylor
