I believe that Hugo Chavez will be incapable of maintaining office by the beginning of summer, at the latest. He has obviously been trying very hard to put it out there that he is doing fine, and using drugs, to keep him on his feet, but there is no stopping cancer that has reached this stage.

One day, after not hearing from or seeing him, it will be announced that he is in hospital, in grave condition....in other words, he is close to dying. Period.

Interesting times for VZ...chaos, then?
