Venezuelans demonstrate against President Maduro

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-30971615

Thousands of Venezuelans have attended an opposition march in Caracas, blaming government policies for the country's worsening economic crisis.

Saturday's march was the first attempt by the opposition in months to revive the protest movement that rocked the country last year.

Many banged empty pots, in reference to the shortage of many staple foods.

Riot police blocked the demonstrators' access to the city centre, but there were no major clashes.

He's quietly biding his time posing as the owner of a small sno cone stand in Aruba just waiting for the right time to re-emerge and launch global revolution against Yankee Imperialists.

The only way to respond to the utterly ridiculous claims of Maduro and his BFFs is with equally ridiculous snark.
