Venezuela Seizes Toilet Paper Factory Amid Fears Of US Sabotage
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/22/2013 – 14:51
The Venezuelan government is in a bind. They realize that ‘the people’ will stand-by idly as the nation’s currency is devalued, as inflation soars, and blackouts continue as food shortages grow…(and the stock market soars) but take away a critical personal care item and the riots will begin. As Yahoo Maktoob reports, Venezuela’s leftist government said Saturday it temporarily seized a major toilet paper factory hoping that it can end troublesome shortages of the staple personal care item. “The temporary occupation of [the toilet-paper manufacturing plant] is aimed at verifying that toilet paper industry production, marketing and distribution” are all in line with state policies, Vice President Jorge Arreaza said on Twitter, without indicating how long the takeover would last. This action follows ‘nationalization’ of large farms amid President Maduro’s claims that the White House is plotting the “collapse” of his government next month by sabotaging food, electricity and fuel supplies. **

Has anyone noticed these eight figure numbers are getting closer together? Next thing you know, it will be nine figures and counting.
One could also say the quality of everyone’s contribution generally is of the best on the web.
Congratulations everyone. The millions keep arriving faster and faster.
Except I have a conscience.
I could be a big time NCAA coach.
See how easy it is to run up the score.
“They don’t ask how, only how many.”
No matter how trite or inane.
They all still count.
The Bears suck but so do the Packers. Remember, a team will NEVER win w/ Jay Cutler @ QB. Rodgers looked Cutleresque today. Congrats to us all but we should not get complacent. So, comment even if you have nothing to say..I do!
Onward to 20 million!! Thanks, JT.
Congrats to you Professor and to all fellow guest bloggers and commenters. As OS suggested, there is never a dull moment! Go Bears!
What OS said and congratulations!
Thanks everyone who participated in making this work, and most of all to Professor Turley who made it all possible. The thing is, this blog is informative, fun, interesting and diverse. Nothing dry and dreary about it. And never a dull moment.
Congratulations! I am very pleased and happy for everyone there. I can’t think of any group of people more worthy and deserving than yours.
Out the Jonathan Turley blogs, there are very few I do not RT; this includes your contributors of course. You all should be very proud. All the best.
I remain very truly yours, Maggie Ringland
It is all attributable to you Professor.
