It's seems like slow news day now after the latest fix and media blitz from Washington is over, but the lying from Havana continues the political smoke and mirrors program from the Venezuelan heirarchy.

Last 48 Hrs: Chavez reportedly talking and squeezing hands but also reportedly in an induced coma and could be unplugged at any time.

I would suspect the latter to be the case.

Their Constitution says he must be fit and be able to accept the inaguration. Expect some other Venezuelan politicians and citizens demand more info be given before the 10th if the news blackout continues?
