Warm sentiments from a religious fanatic who wants to bring about the mahdaviat, to a power-hungry tinpot dictator:
Ahmadinejad to Chavez: ‘We’re going to be together until the end’
“We feel at home here and among our brothers … we’re going to be together until the end,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told his Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez during a visit to Latin America on Wednesday.
Makes you wonder, what does Ahmadinejad have in mind when talking about “the end”?
But hey, maybe he’s talking about baseball. Yes, that must be it!
Both leaders roundly denounced US “imperialism,” and Chavez also called Israel “a murderous arm of the Yankee empire.”
Steinbrenner be damned; Go Dodgers!
Chavez said he had just returned from an unannounced visit to Cuba, where he met with his mentor Fidel Castro as well as President Raul Castro. “They asked me to give you a hug for them,” he told Ahmadinejad.
Makes you go all warm inside, doesn’t it?

Today is the presidential election in Honduras. Will be posting on that later.
I wondered the same thing about “the end.” Fidelito is playing with fire…
It’s well known that the Cubans can play baseball but generally can’t keep the players in the country. Now Iran has unofficially encouraged the Revolutionary Guards to learn to play but they have had some difficulty in grasping that when its batter up the use of a Louisville Slugger is not done randomly from the pylon of a motorcycle.
You think they’re up to something?
Oh yes, Nolan. The question is, what.
