I think having a national holiday for Hugo Chavez is going to far. We already have an abundance of national holidays. If you have a holiday for chavez, why not have another for Geaorge Washington Carver, Grandma Moses, Ronald Reagan Jack Kennedy, Louis Armstrong, Elvis presley, and the foolishness goes on and on. I don't think we should have a holiday for any of them, Chavez included. If you keep on withthat kind of trend, soon everyday of the year will be a national holiday.

Maybe you're right. If we have a holiday for Hugo, we'd probably have to have one for Fidel and who knows who else.

I'm sorry. I meant Cesar Chavez. Not Hugo Chavez. I'm sure no one can consider a holiday for Hugo in this country, except maybe Shaghn Penn, etc.
