Reasons I'm Sad Hugo Chavez is Dead

The recent passing of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez has left me a little sad. I thought I'd share some of the reasons with you. - With one less dictator to suck up to, Sean Penn will be spending more time in the U.S. - Dennis Rodman will never get the opportunity to tell us what a great guy Chavez is. - Now there are only six dwarfs* left. Sadly, Dumpy was my favorite. - Now Obama will have to visit a college library to pick up books of Anti-American propaganda. - That sulfur he smelled? Turns out it wasn't from Bush. - Ahmadinejad will now have to find a new friend to deny the Holocaust with. - Kim Jong-Un is going to be very ronery. - Venezuelans will now have to find another megalomaniacal madman to run their country, and crazy dictators don't just grow on trees, you know. - The poor of Venezuela have lost a potent advocate. Or so Jimmy Carter seems to think. - The Legion of Doom is losing one of its more entertaining characters. - Now there's one country fewer that can say they have a worse president than we do. *Isn't the plural of dwarf "dwarves?" Spell check doesn't like it though.

  1. Venezuela can have OUR dictator if they want him. Also, poor Michael Moore must be crying in his box of Krispy Kremes right now, eh? How could the Venezuelan health care system have failed dear Hugo???

    1. If by "box of Krispy Kremes" you mean a box truck full of Krispy Kremes.

    2. I forgot about good ol' Mikey. I remember being of a mindset where I thought he was pretty cool.

      Amusingly, he is a man who supports the single payer health care system that would be likely to deny him care due to his weight.

      Oh, and Dear Hugo had to go to Moore's beloved Cuba to get healthcare, looks like Fidel DIDN'T find the cure for cancer after all,

  2. Both "dwarves" and "dwarfs" are correct. "Dwarves" is more modern because of its use by Tolkien.

    1. Google is a powerful tool. Unfortunately, research is not my strong point. It would require opening another tab and actually looking something up.

      Personally, I like Dwarves. It sounds cooler.

    2. Dwarfs invokes images of Munchkins and Disney. Dwarves invokes scenes of dudes with swords and pick axes ready to cut you off at the knees. Yeah, dwarves is cooler.

    3. So, in this case, 'dwarfs' was the correct form to use for Dumpy. We need dwarf name for all our favorites. How about 'Crazy' for Ahmedinajihad? I'd suggest "Dobby" for Putin, but Dobby was an elf, not a dwarf. It's just that they look so much alike...

    4. I thought you guys were the dwarves and I was Snow White. I'm behind, I guess....

    5. I think this is Coal Black and the Seven Evil Dwarfs, of which Crazy and Dumpy are but two.
