• Venezuelan president tells U.S. to butt out of his country's affairs
• Resuming his suspended TV show, Chavez praises Karl Marx
• Chavez says socialism will require caution, work, time
• Domestic gas prices to be raised, luxury goods to be taxed
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez returned to his weekly radio and TV broadcast Sunday, extolling the ideals of socialist thinker Karl Marx and telling U.S. officials to "Go to hell!" for what he called unacceptable meddling in Venezuela's affairs.
Chavez defended his government's effort to establish a socialist model and rejected U.S. concerns over a measure to grant him broad lawmaking powers, saying: "Go to hell, gringos! Go home!"
The National Assembly, controlled by the president's political allies, is expected to give final approval this week to what it calls the "enabling law," which would grant Chavez authority to pass a series of laws by decree during an 18-month period.
On Friday, U.S. State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey said that Chavez's plans under the law "have caused us some concern."
Chavez, who this month announced plans to nationalize Venezuela's main telecommunications company and the electricity and natural gas sectors, says the law will permit profound changes in areas ranging from the economy to defense.

Chavez has been keeping company with Ahmadinejad what else do you expect. Chavez and buddy
You can thank the Gerbil on that.. Bringing two allies together...
Let's face it Bush has messed up the United States and caused chaos around the world. Anything he touches is damaged. So Chavez is right but he was right when he called Bush the Devil. I call Bush Satan so I understand.
The latest gang up on the Gerbil
It will be more than Ahmadinejad and Chavez
Yes the George W fan club is forming.
What I am referring to is:
excerpt:
"Ahmadinejad's visit Saturday - his second to Venezuela in less than four months - comes as he seeks to break international isolation over his country's nuclear program and possibly line up new allies in Latin America. He is also expected to visit Nicaragua and Ecuador, which both recently elected leftist governments."
And the Gerbil needs to kick himself everyday in the ass for bringing these two allies together, pissing them off, and calling them the axis of evil. Thanks for sharing the article, Chicago Native.
:D
Yes the Gerbil has got a lot of people fluffed up, domestic and foreign.
