How sick is Hugo

Rumors and speculation are running high in Venezuela. The question the people of this country are asking themselves is how sick is Hugo Chavez?

Hugo Chavez has been to Cuba where he is undergoing treatment for cancer. This doesn't say much for the medical services of Venezuela that he would have to go abroad for medical treatment. It has been reported this week that his condition has worsened this is furiously denied by the government. No one knows at this point what is really true as this is a very closed society.

Because Hugo Chavez is a publicity hound and did not make any attempt to attend the United Nations meetings held in New York this week where he loves to criticize the United States many people think he is gravely ill. I really don't know what to believe but some Spanish people tell me the devil was sharpening up his pitchfork for an extremely important person to arrive.
