Referring to his victory in baseball terminology, Chávez remarked "the ball must have fallen right in the middle of the White House. It's a present for Bush."

IF WE WERE VENEZUELAN, ON AUGUST 15TH, 2004, WE WOULD VOTE FOR HUGO CHAVEZ

What are the actual circumstances of Haitian President Aristide's exit from office last Sunday? He calls it kidnapping. So do some U.S. Congressmen.

XENOX NEWS' RAVING REPORTER MAX GROSS COMMEMORATES THE ATROCITIES OF SEPTEMBER 11

It was a clear sunny day. People went innocently about their business. Without warning, death plunged from the sky. Screaming aircraft shattered the building, sowing cruel death, injury and horror.

No amount of idealism can justify these savage attacks on innocent people, which can only be condoned by deranged fanatics.

No, not in New York, USA, in 2001. This was in Santiago, Chile, in 1973.

You lot, you just sit around and talk about socialism, you're the bloody problem. Eighty per cent of this country are white trash, working class. How come they don't vote Labour? 'Cos the Labour Party are a fuckin' disgrace, that's why. I'm against socialism on principle. Engels - he was a factory owner in Manchester exploiting 13 year-old girls. Learn your history, pal, learn your history. I suppose you blame all Ireland's problems on the British. All the problems of the world are down to Britain. That's what you think, why don't you say it? You can't bloody tell me anything about oppression cos, I'll tell you something pal, if you'd been part of Germany, you'd have been liquidated. If you were part of Russia, you wouldn't even exist.
