Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez 58 years old today. he has been battling cancer the past couple years but recently declared he was ‘cancer free.” Who knows if he is or not but I doubt it. He is up for re-election this year so I have my doubts. The Fidel Castro wannabe has been President of Venezuela since 1999. I don’t think he is the ‘madman’ he has been made out to be but saying that I think he’s someone you have to keep an eye on. I think more than anything he likes press.  Pictured below Hugo and Uncle Fidel.
