Hey, why am I not surprised

This just in: "Blaque Jacques" Chirac and Hugo "Castro-Wannabe" Chavez have decided to deepen their already close ties due to their "common vision". This should come as no shock to anyone since the French seem to always find the dictator and/or despot (see Saddam Hussein) who has oil to cosy up to. This also has the added benefit of adding another member to the "Axis of Weasels" to counter balance the influence of the US, so this is a win-win situation for both. I guess Chirac has worn out his welcome in the EU trying to get other European countries to oppose the US and he's looking for greener pastures, or at least "oilier" ones.
