Things I love about this story:
1) Spain has a king. Descendent of the Sun King, Queen Victoria--all that.
2) He dissed Chavez not only by telling him to shut up, but also by using the familiar "tu" form of the verb instead of the formal "Usted."
3) Chavez's quotes: "fascists are not human. A snake is more human." And "I do not offend by telling the truth." If only, my friend, if only.
Regarding the preceding discussion, I just want to note that Pirate Jimmy brings the discussion back to where it is most relevant in his comment about the church needing to be connected with the world. His argument is basically the argument that the presenter was making at this conference--a Christian author should be unafraid to use the f-bomb, since it demonstrates that you're not out of touch. I disagree, for the reasons cited. As the same presenter said, "Christ has to effect every detail of your life," including whether you practice sexual violence, but not excluding whether you draw power from alluding to sexual violence.
May we each follow our consciences and not despise each other.

Don't you just love Chavez? I do. But as much as really do support his socialist agenda, I'm glad the referendum didn't pass yesterday. It's a big blow to his ego, but hopefully he can stay focused on social projects and community involvement.
