My quest was searching out all the possible connections that what's his face (HCF) had with the country of my birth (Nicaragua), and why the hell he was interfering so much, not just there, but in so many other LA countries. After discovering your site, as well as Miguel's, Alek's, Gustavo's and Caracas Chronicles' blogs, as well as Caracas Gringo's, I decided that in order for me to be as informed as I thought I should be, I needed to read all of the above. Each and every one of these sites has offered so much, for which I am so grateful. You, however, seem to impart so much more of a personal touch. Thank you, and congratulations for reaching this milestone!nicacat56https://www.blogger.com/profile/15873568282772090398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-52652314160031708842012-08-31T00:33:51.207+02:002012-08-31T00:33:51.207+02:00Remind me again: why did I hire people like you gu...Remind me again: why did I hire people like you guys?

We have learnt a lot. It takes courage to read you, Dano. Most don't want to see what punches you in the face. Thank for being there. You know I'm an admirer! In some way we have learnt to antipate in our countries what these pseudo-leftist and populist "leaders" were going to bring - their script is very similar, written mostly by Fidel when he was able to do it. Now we are hoping Venezuela will teach our countries how to get rid of these caudillos in time. Congratulations!

There is no money in the world that would pay the work that you do. <br /><br />I take the liberty to state my preferences: the electoral analysis. Nobody can beat this blog in that area. You understand Venezuela, venezuelan politics and venezuelan voters like none else.<br /><br />Since you mentioned other blogs, I must say that there is one that is even more consistent than the four mosqueteers. Without talking much or having any comments he is there day in and day out. He (I am assuming he is a "he", he does not sound too feminine) has written a post every day but only since 2009: Esteban Dido, from Venepirámides.

I guess we can say with confidence, all 4 of us, that we have mastered the Venezuelan political topic, and there are very few people in the world who can claim they've done that out of pure commitment to the welfare and freedom of their country. It also puts us in the very unique position of being over-informed, over-educated little indians -in the topic at hand- who can no longer suffer fools, and PSFs, and useful idiots.<br /><br />We are indeed, my dear fellow blogger, the right stuff.
