A trip to wacky DUmmyland is always a treat, and the thread "Chavez Dismisses Robertson Death Wish, Offers 'Medical Aid' to U.S. Poor!" is an extra special treat. Our friend in Venezuela has made a most generous offer:

Chavez said that some citizens of that country could be enrolled in the VISTA medical program of Cuba, and he even spoke of offering a special program of direct gasoline assistance to poor communities.
